Everyone who has the White House on his or her résumé, as we cats do, was appalled at what happened on the South Lawn last night. And every American should be, too.
Trumpy tweeps, particularly the FOX "News" crew, tried to claim today that it was A-OK for Trump to use the White House as his political backdrop because Joe Biden had accepted his nomination "from his house." Except that Joe Biden didn't — he spoke from the Chase Center in Wilmington. And Joe Biden would never dream of sullying the Executive Mansion with huge Biden-Harris signs.
But here's the most important point, and media, please take note: What Benedict Donald's been doing is not a "blurring of the lines" thing. It's a violation of everything the United States stands for. We do not have a king. It is not l'etat c'est moi. The White House belongs to the American people, even those who didn't vote for its current occupant. It does not belong to that current occupant, no matter who he/she is.
Every President has understood that, until now. The fact that Trump rushed to violate that, and that so many Republicans were willing to go along with it, is sickening.
We used to think Benedict Donald wanted to be Vladimir Putin, but we were wrong. He wants to be a freaking czar. (When it comes to interior decoration, et. al, he's got the taste of one.) Word of warning to Trump and all his complicit minions: There are no more Russian czars, and there's a reason for that. We cats HISS.
