Circus Elephant

March 16, 2020

Stand-up comedian, John Mulaney, does a hilarious routine, comparing Donald Trump to a horse loose in a hospital. You can look it up on YouTube. The horse has never been in a hospital before, and no one knows what the horse is going to do, not even the horse.

Trump is actually a circus elephant. The elephant, the symbol of the Republican party, is a large and slow-moving animal. Like the lumbering circus elephant, Trump has a bunch of clowns following him around wherever he goes to clean up his shit, and his shit is everywhere. After a recent news conference meant to calm the frayed nerves of the American public, his clowns had to pick up the giant turd that he laid about insurance companies waiving co-payments for treatment of coronavirus. The waivers are for tests, not treatment. Then he made a mess about blocking goods and cargo coming into the country. That was not true. Finally, he created the biggest shit storm of all by saying that all travel from Europe would be blocked. Americans overseas panicked, which created disastrous and dangerous conditions at many US airports as they all tried to return before the deadline.

The circus elephant can be very entertaining unless you have to deal with its shit. When will Republicans get tired of being Trump’s clowns?
