Irony is lost in the land of the over-stimulated and under-educated...while Trump professes to be on the side of the peaceful protestors, thumps of tear gas grenades and pepper pellets exploding, with a nice 'Apocalypse Now' whomp whomping backdrop of helicopter blades above, all sound off such a sorry stage.

His black suited pretorian guard, it seems, are out on the streets to clear the processional way for their Caesar, none of them without even the faintest clue that he's Nero sans fiddle.

Trump struts out past the graffiti like he's approaching the 'professional wrestling ring' only the little lady with the umbrella, the 'jeering' placard waving 'fans' and the TV crews, except of course FOX NEWS, have been cleared away, the streets safe once more again.

He poses in front of church as metaphor for his soul...boarded up and empty...and he even holds the Bible upside down!

If it wasn't so tragic, if it wasn't such a non-triumphant parade of overt B-movie 'drama' bits, if it wasn't such a descent into fascism, it would be farce.
