When I was little in the 1960s I loved the cartoons on TV on Saturday mornings. Now, in 2025, when I want cartoonish characters and weird, unreal scenarios I turn to politics. Not as innocent but sure as hell as funny only in a very sick, hurtful way.
Sadly, professional wrestling (entertainment) is an apt metaphor for many aspects of our lives today, including the political ones. However, there is one key difference. Vince McMahon (who was ousted because of a sex trafficking allegations, and who apparently spent $12 million or more to silence other accusers) genuinely seemed to enjoy being hated by the crowds, while Trump wants to be loved.
Let us hope Trump doesn't get to fill another vacancy on the Extreme Court. Rumor has it that after having appointed Linda McMahon to destroy the Department of Education, he plans to nominate a corrupt cop who issues speeding tickets when the cars are parked -- and the spineless people who serve in the U.S. Senate will approve the nomination!
