Funny the things that can pop into your head while ironing a shirt. Or am I just remembering something I have already read online?
For some reason, I was thinking about the Wizard of Oz, and the song "If I only had a heart/brain/the nerve", which sums up the deficiencies of each of Dorothy's companions. Then Trump came to mind, and I realised how remarkable it is that he is like a Trinity of each of these deficiencies in the one man.
No brain - the evidence is overwhelming.
No heart - has no real interest in justice and wants to punish foreigners for all of America's woes.
No nerve - President Heal Spurs who flip flops on policy continuously.
The only way in which the analogy falls apart is in the resolution in the movie, where the characters are taught they always had what they desired within them. I try to be generous, but I can't see that happening with Trump...
[The other obvious Trump in Oz comparison was in the meme that went around a few months ago that showed Putin as the true Wizard behind the curtain controlling the fake Wizard head in the form of Trump. I liked that too.]
