We Are Officially Through The Looking Glass

In the wake of the Orlando slaughter, Donnie Drumpf claims, in so many words, that President Obama is actually in traitorous cahoots with "radical Islamic terrorists."*  Trump says Obama "prioritizes our enemy over our allies and over the American people.  He gets them better than anybody understands.  Something is going on."

Good grief!  Leave it to The Donald to turn a national tragedy into a disgusting farce.  I'm now waiting for Trump to tell us that FDR was a secret Nazi.

There are only two possible explanations for the content and conduct of Trump's "campaign":

1.  His strategy is to win the White House with only the votes of old, white, male bigots.  He'll probably get a lot of those yahoos, but he's not gonna get anybody else.  And there aren't enough old, white, male bigots to win the election.

2.  Trump is a secret Democrat and is running his campaign and his mouth so as to guarantee a win for Hillary.

*For those few readers who, like Trump, are pissed off because neither Obama nor Hillary will use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism," consider the points made in the guideline issued by the White House titled "Words That Work and Words That Don't:  A Guide for Counter-terrorism Communication."

• Stop describing extremists as "jihadists" or "mujahedeen."
• Drop the term "Islamo-fascism" altogether.
• "It's not what you say but what they hear."
• "Avoid the language of religion.  Whenever they hear 'Islamic extremism,' they perceive it as an attack on their faith."
• The rhetoric preferred by the [neo-con right-wing] may undermine our foreign policy and national security interests.

Where did this White House guideline come from?  The Bush/Cheney administration.
