So Long Bill Maher

November 9, 2016

I had hoped that the end of the circus would allow me to write about something more important, like the Dodgers, or Morgan Stanley ripping me off of $1200 — but my many pro-Trump friends and family members are pointing out \”how wrong I was\” about the man.  I have therefore decided to become a barometer of how well The Donald is fulfilling his campaign promises.  His penultimate campaign promise, \”Let\’s Make America Great Again,\” should serve as fertile plowing ground for this pen.  And with this pen, I will hereby refer to The Donald as: Emperor Trump.

Where are you gonna run to Bill — now that Emperor Trump is the president elect?  For that matter, where will Alec Baldwin and Robert De Niro go — particularly after De Niro threatened to punch the Emperor in the nose (an act of domestic terrorism if I\’ve ever heard one!)??  If we\’ve learned anything about our new Emperor — it\’s that he doesn\’t forgive or forget a slight.

Can a leopard change its spots?  I don\’t think so.  How can a man who has been so self-absorbed — and seems to have placed the acquisition of material wealth above-all-else (for-close-to-50- years) — do a complete 180 and become a Santa Claus — providing jobs, work and money to the needy?

I\’m hoping that one-of-the aforementioned entertainers finds a place with good surf, and, that you\’ll have room for me — as I have written (and spoken) a few unkind words about the Emperor myself.  But unlike yourselves (except for Bill\’s show on 11/4 — when he seemed to be attending a funeral [and remarked that this could be his last show]), I have had that sick feeling that the Emperor might pull it off for awhile now — because his supporters remained so rabidly faithful despite all the factual information that demonstrated the Emperor\’s ineptness for the post as they feasted upon Hillary blunders.

It\’s always easy for us to mock or threaten when we don\’t think the object of our derision will be able to exact retribution…

With regards to his ineptness, The Emperor has no political clothes: the people already being named to hide his nakedness are a grim, conservative council indeed (Guiliani, Gingrich, Christy).  So it looks like The Emperor will surround himself with fat, ugly, White Men — you can bet there will be no fat or ugly women working for The Emperor.

But back to you, Bill, as I will miss our Friday Nights together.  I have always enjoyed your show and felt that you were saying things that needed to be said.  In an enlightened monarchy — you would be kept around as the court jester — in-other-words, you would continue to do your show and continue making-fun-of-the-king — because great rulers should be able to laugh at themselves.  Not so our newly elected Emperor, nor the henchmen he is surrounding himself with…none-of-them seems to have a sense of humor.

A friend of mine found these comments made by Emperor Trump some 16-years-ago:

\”If I were to run, I\’d run as a Republican.  They\’re the dumbest group of voters in the country.  They believe anything on Fox News.  I could lie and they\’d still eat it up.  I bet my numbers would be terrific.\” (from a 1998 \’People\’ Magazine interview).

I\’m thinking that all you had to do, Bill, was to hold these words up to your viewing audience every show.  I\’m pretty sure that this was all Hillary had to do to expose the naked bomb that is our new Emperor.
