King Con Don Gives Himself Flattering & Ridiculously Inaccurate Nickname

This is a picture of a magnet that was being sold at Strand's Book Store in New York City a few years ago. No, I did not buy it, but I liked it and took a picture, which I am sharing here now. 

As I have stated before, and will say again, I just don’t understand the whole Cult 45 thing. This fixation with King Con Don, and the belief that he is apparently the only one in a nation of some 330 million who can “fix” the country is something that I just will never get. The man is transparently narcissistic, and his greed is the stuff of legend. He manipulates situations to his benefit, including racial tensions and the xenophobia which seems to be quite commonplace among his most loyal supporters.              

One thing that even Trump fans had to admit not too long ago was that the man plays fast and loose with the truth. Now, as unbelievable as it may seem, all of that may change, as Trump is apparently trying to give himself the nickname “Honest Don.”              

Really? This man who has made a career of lying, both in business and in politics, is now trying to pass himself off as honest. And the nickname seems to have the intent of invoking the “Honest Abe” kind of feel. Just a good old boy telling you the God’s honest truth, you know? And if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I want to sell you. Or perhaps a prestigious degree from Trump University, or stakes in Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, Trump Magazine, and Trump casinos (how do you go bankrupt owning a casino, anyway?).              

This guy is such an obvious scam artist, it is absurd. Yet, it really feels like tens of millions of Americans – possibly enough to get King Con Don back into the White House – simply cannot see it. They cannot see through him, and they want to believe that he is everything that they want him to be.              

It is the latest sign of just how far removed far too many Americans have become from reality that this guy can get away with trying to sell us on the idea that he deserves to be known as “Honest Don.”          

What a joke.
