We cats are still haunted by the photos of this family being tear-gassed at the Mexican border. We remember how, when we were kittens, Life magazine ran a shocking photo of "the napalm girl" — actually, a group of injured and crying Vietnamese children running from American bombs, one of whom had her clothes torn off from the blasts.
This photo above — of a migrant mom wearing a little girl's Disney pajama top and her terrified child — will be Donald Trump's napalm girl. Congratulations, Benedict Donald, on your most dubious accomplishment to date. You really are a horrible, horrible person.
The justifiable outrage at the tear gassing made us wonder: When we are finally able to banish these evil Trumpsters from our government, will the rest of world just welcome us back? No doubt they'll be as relieved as we will — maybe more. (Remember how the Nobel dudes were so thrilled that George W. Bush wasn't President any more, they gave Barack Obama the Peace Prize?) But our allies and friends will also, rightfully, still be disgusted and mad. How will they react?
In case they need a little winning over, we need to bring out the big guns. Since we assume that Trump will have destroyed the country and the Republican Party so badly that the next President will be a Democrat, he or she (we hope she) will have to make some brilliant foreign policy appointments. How about Michelle Obama as Ambassador to the UN? Or Chelsea Clinton? Either would be a charming and effective diplomat who could mend much-damaged fences around the world. And either would make us PURR.
