One of the worst things about this nightmare of an administration is the abrogation of America's leading role in the world. This picture of Donald Trump at the current G-20 says it all. Our allies have abandoned us — while our adversaries believe (with good reason) that we are either in their pocket or they will not encounter any significant American resistance if they do something belligerent or violate human rights.
How ironic that George H.W. Bush, who by contrast was a leading internationalist, should choose to check out at the same time that Trump is embarrassing the United States overseas.
We're intrigued by the reports that Bush wanted Trump to attend his funeral. Trump was barred from Barbara Bush's services in the spring — does this mean that the Kennebunkport clan has something nefarious in store for him at the George Senior services? We cats are fantasizing that they're going to insult Trump from the pulpit. So we were trying to think which eulogist would be best at throwing Trump shade, and we came up with one name: Bill Clinton.
Bill would do it brilliantly, of course, for all kinds of reasons: He's really smart. He's unequaled as Consoler-in-Chief. He got to be really close friends with Bush. And he has a ton of reasons to strategically insult the traitor who, with the help of a foreign adversary, stole the 2016 Presidential election from his wife.
We may actually be watching. We cats love a great funeral, and if Bill speaks, we will PURR.
