Pls-lah America: Wag the Dog

1. SEPTEMBER 9, 2017 BY ADMIN

TRUMPMATIC

The induction of the word, TRUMPMATIC, as a derogatory term into the ­American vocabulary carrying a meaning of unpredictable behaviour or Chaos, was Mr Trump’s prime achievement in his 100 days of a Trumpmatic run as the President of the USA.

Clearly, the live action produced by the White House with real-time dramas captivating a global audience on CNN, which nevertheless has now become the latest box office channel to tune in to.

A Hollywood styled fast-rising actor cum director, painter, and a no holds barred tweeting Politician; the President of the United States is driving not only Americans but the rest of the world to follow him with great enthusiasm.

Tenancy to the Oval office entitles the President to nurture his artistic abilities even if he is not  artistic.

He has acquired a position of power which gives him the total Freedom and right to exercise his Trumpmatic expressions whichever way he sees fit.

A series of terror on terror, real life action dramas have been unfolded on a serial trend with action titles like 59 Tomahawk Crayons, MOAB and the North Korean standoff coming soon with a THADD, but it is still too early to bring out the popcorn.

“Wag the Dog” was a motion picture screened in 1997 with Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro as lead actors, it is all about illusions created elsewhere to avoid realities that are current, unpopular and to camouflage a foreseeable political disaster.

The illusion is to spin or cause a stir like creating a war or pretend to take punitive action against a known enemy or an invented one, just to gain a heroic advantage while avoiding focus on the dilapidating problems at home, or the White House.

The work of art of WAG THE DOG (WTD) is similar to a dog with all four paws dipped in paint and made to walk over a painter’s easel, while holding its tail, with both his hands to ensure that the mutt moves within the perimeter.

The President would have created a paw-some painting. The excess and spill over outside the frame of the painting will be construed to be collateral damage.

59 pointy colourful crayons have been employed to portray his expression on a specific area in the Middle East selected as the canvas of contention. The alleged use of SARIN gas as a weapon in an area that already has an ongoing genocide has become the perfect blind spot to perform this art.

The President of Syria has sworn that the gas attack was a drama and the media coverage of the victims was staged. President Assad was already in a very comfortable position in the six-year civil war to retain the monarchy, a fact fortified by even President Trump only two weeks before the alleged attack.

Now the debate would be why he wanted to do something as daft as to use SARIN gas on civilians when he clearly had the Russians to pulverise any target that he wanted to obliterate.

Or was this just a WTD illusion?

James Comey was sacked from an executive position of the FBI; in a ‘The Apprentice’ TV show style, which he finds out only from the news on TV, and an insult not being taken too lightly by the American public.

Donald Trump is caught up in a turmoil involving the Russians tampering with the Presidential elections that made him President and his decision to dismiss Comey, who was in charge of the investigations, has brought about suspicion on him.

A flurry of home brewed catastrophes has begun to inflict a tear in the President’s political career coupled with the show of no support from his own party amongst others which would best be cured by a WTD in Syria, Afghanistan or even North Korea to regain his voter’s confidence again.

After a fierce campaign in the battle for Presidency, his America for Americans and his war against Extreme Islamic terrorism has shifted gear to a trumpmatic change.

His choice of words including tweaking of policies exhibits the diplomacy of a saner politician now as he has shown in his recent speeches in the Middle East where he is officially visiting at the moment.

He seems to be quite comfortable with the Middle Eastern desert heat which would be not as peachy as the heat he would be facing if the US Senate decides to trumpmatically impeach him.
