Trump’s secret wish
Recognition. We all want it, not because of any sort of hubris but because it is wonderful when any contribution an individual makes to society is recognized and embraced. As a writer, I know that when I know I’ve moved someone—or inspired them—or made them think, it is like sipping a warm, delicious-smelling cup of joy and sunshine. And people deserve to be recognized when they do good.
Donald Trump yearns to be recognized for his accomplishments, which mainly consist of starting insurrections, stealing classified documents, degrading people, withholding payment from workers, throwing toilet paper at the good people of Puerto Rico, praising the wonderful people” on both sides”, committing fraud, committing sexual assault, railing against (everyone?) from Truth Social, melting into mindless puddles of sharks and Hannibal lector chatter, having his people rip children from the arms of their mothers, talking about people injecting bleach to cure Covid and MANY many more.
Did I miss anything? Yes, DJT (Dumb, jerk-talking) Trump desires recognition. And according to California Rep Zoe Lofgren, she thinks she knows what that recognition might be. Mount Rushmore. See, Donnie-do-little says he wants to build more monuments. He says these monuments will be of great heroes and heroines.
REALLY? Pray tell — who are some of these people? Can this writer make some educated guesses? Rudy! Corey Lewandowski! Perhaps Tulsi? Marjorie Taylor Greene? If Greene is on the list, her statue needs to be built with a space laser in its hands.
But Zoe thinks she knows the REAL reason behind these remarks. Trump wants his own face to adorn new things, such as mountains.
“I think he wants his face chiseled on a mountain,” Zoe said, quickly making THIS writer lose her appetite at that very thought. “Maybe he means that.” But Lofgren said it’d never happen. “It would not pass,” she said frankly.
She said there was no chance, not even with a republican majority. Could this be true? I would not doubt it. Can one imagine the felon’s face sullying the mountains of Mount Rushmore? No, the badlands do not need an orange face carved in stone. Not for anything!
If anyone were to get their face on Rushmore, it’d be President Biden. He ALWAYS looks mighty, always looks like he’s gazing out into the midnight skies, pondering history. He’d be perfect. As for Trump’s snarl being immortalized on mountains — there is little chance of that ever happening.
