Who was he kidding? The first time he performed, it looked absurd, and indeed it was silly. Then, like wanna-bee Trumpets, others mimicked his strained movement.
"Aren't we cute?" he seemed to ask.
No. Trump always looked as if he were trying to pass a watermelon, and it was going to happen. Maybe anytime now, or any day now, it's going to happen.
Like the song from the musical Cabaret, "Maybe this time, I'll be lucky…"
And a left fist, and a right fist, and a left and a right, the hopeful grin on his teeth. Even his buddy Elon Musk tried it.
Pathetic!
That ain't Bob Fossey, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Baryshnikov, or Rudolf Nureyev.
You'll never see Vladimir Putin jump on the bandwagon, doing the Trump dance. He's the director. He's conducting the collapse of US democracy, and Donald Trump is dancing to his tune. Why?
Democracy was always the anathema to Communism. Democracy is freedom. Communism is imprisonment.
Freedom of the US press? No more news people critical of Donald Trump allowed at White House press conferences.
Freedom of the press for Putin's Russia? Think of Alexei Navalny, Russia's most outspoken Putin critic. Navalny died while imprisoned by Putin.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump does his dance. The Trumpets follow. Democracy crumbles.
Not at The Spoof.
