Dear
Congressman,
Re: The
Imposter
The word
came to me last night, as though in a dream—though quite possibly, yes, in a
dream, because I woke up with it, clear as day, in the middle of the night:
“the imposter.” A perfect word for Trump, the would-be tsar: Donald the
Imposter.
The
dictionary definition is “one who assumes false identity or title for the
purpose of deception.” Yes! That’s Trump to a T! (Excuse the bad joke…) A con
man to the core, he has seized the false identity of “President of the United
States”—a title for which he is, as many have pointed out, uniquely
unqualified.
And for
what purpose? To deceive us all. While he acts the part of “President,” he’s up
to his usual tricks behind the scenes, burnishing his own and his family brand
and using his office and its influence to further enrich the Trump dynasty.
What a lark!
He’s a
bit of a ham, though, you’ll have to admit, with his frowns and scowls and the
jut of his jaw, in the attempt to look serious and presidential. He has great
words, too, he tells us; so many great words. If they sound like hot air coming
from his mouth, it may be because they are just that: hot air. We should all of
us take them less seriously. The pundits simplymake themselves look foolish,
trying to parse those words into something approaching intentional and
meaningful.
Sorry,
Congressman. I realize that my own words come across as less than respectful to
the Office of the President. But I truly believe we have an imposter in the
Oval Office. Will you be the one to point out that this emperor has no clothes?
Not so
respectfully, today,
Peter Clothier,
Ph.D.
