Some Morning Thoughts. Sometimes Like Morning Sickness.

      I'm not sure what happened here.    I got a good nights sleep, the sun is shining bright, it's about 70 degrees...a beautiful day... and all is well.  I'm probably a million miles from anywhere Donald Trump has ever wanted to be....physically or spiritually....so why do I get nauseous when I open the morning paper and see another story about "The Donald" thinking seriously about running for President.    Please tell me this is a joke!

     Well it is a joke but my fear is, a lot of people may not be getting....the joke.   Can you imagine waking up in the morning or going to bed at night and the first or last image to your eyes was that snotty nose puss with the pursed lips and most outrageous comb over in the history of hair styling?   Oh.....my God!    Alright he's a billionaire, simultaneously a successful and disastrous businessman and get this, I even like some of what he says about this country, its politics and world events but oh my goodness, this creepy guy is carrying more baggage than an Amtrak luggage car and the thought of even allowing this guy to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is scary.

     Now before you get all bent out of shape....yes, this is coming from the same guy who said about three plus years ago..."trust me, this country is long way, and I'm sure not in my lifetime, from seeing a guy from Chicago named Barack Hussein Obama living in the White House."   Ain't never gonna happen right?     Ta-da!!!!

     I've heard it said...various candidates have too much baggage to become President: Newt...House ethics....Rudolph...NYC and too many marriages....Mitt, Mormon........whatever...........but Donald?    The Donald?   The Trumpster?    Give me a bloody break!  One of the most outrageous and obnoxious individuals to inhabit this planet....YOUR FIRED.....and he thinks we should take him seriously about running for President.

     This does look like a beautiful day....but I think I'm going to crawl back into bed for a minute and get up on the other side.
