Court jester as President
There is nothing funny about Donald trump, the 45th president of the United States. He is a rude ignorant bully cipher with power over weapons that can harm millions. But so inept and unthinking is he that many voters including former U.S. army general H.R. Mcmaster treat him as entertainment, a relief from the “far too serious” business of everyday life, where people fight, and get maimed or die. In medieval times this was the role played by the court jester for their monarchs. The unique problem with Donald J. Trump is he is the monarch AND a court jester at the same time. It is this that allows many people to vote for hum while knowing he is a goof and a lightweight who, apart from the money is just like them.
