Bona Sera! The veil of a blue velvet night harbors tiny dots of white twinkling light in the distant stratosphere. We live in a world where so many things change daily and few things in this life can be counted upon for stability and certain security. Often, we look to the dimly lit heavens, where the pagan moon is constantly keeping its promise in the pale shadow of another day, as the world passes away into obscurity by limited earthly understanding and myopic vision .
I am bothered by the news of Trump's historical "press blackout". It is a significant change.
It is profoundly significant in the way, it is changing democracy forever, in America. This change, whether engineered by his scholarly attorneys or the Rasputinian Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, contains a profound question with a most disturbing array of answers. The few genuine answers that fit the facts, are neither comforting, nor suppose any positive outcomes.
My great fear is that Trump is using this technique to squelch/bar any instant replays on film, that might dispute his version of the truth and engender his aversion of the truth. It may even be an attempt to leave enough wiggle room later, to change the color of the truth and re-invent an "alternative history". An unreal truth that serves to revise, destroy, obliterate or hide the real intentions of his message upon blunt reflection. No doubt, it absolutely eliminates the 3 second sound bite, for the record.
We know Trump has had legal counsel to quit tweeting and curtail all additional unapproved and impromptu conversations. We can guess that it is more than likely, he has also been legally advised to quit allowing any filmed coverage of his messages, (avoiding legally self-incriminating statements) from the record, unless tightly scripted by teleprompters. I would suggest that the news outlets hire a few well-seasoned and highly qualified court stenographers to record all future White House press corp briefings, working in concert, with the courtroom artists they now employ.
Trump indulges his petulant playground impulses of "slinging mud" and "throwing shade", at former Pres. Obama's policies and administration, as often as possible. However, in a loosely re-iterated phrase that Pres. Obama repeated, he perfectly and appropriately described and encapsulated the legacy of Trump's Administration, he will leave behind for history on American life. Pres. Obama said, "Americans have elected the President they deserve." Or maybe he said, "Americans deserve the President they elected"... either way, Pres. Obama said a mouthful!
"Good Night" and "Sweet Dreams" "Boner Appertite"
