Donald Trump is a laughing stock around the world
A carnival float in Dusseldorf, Germany yesterday
Can anyone else see the similarities of media PROGRESSION of Donald TRUMP to these HEADLINES which refer to Napoléon Bonaparte.
The following is a list of Paris newspaper headlines reporting the journey of Napoleon across France, on his return from exile on Elba, March 9 to March 22, 1815:
March 9 - THE ANTHROPOPHAGUS HAS QUITTED HIS DEN
March 10 - THE CORSICAN OGRE HAS LANDED AT CAPE JUAN
March 11 - THE TIGER HAS ARRIVED AT CAP
March 12 - THE MONSTER SLEPT AT GRENOBLE
March 13 - THE TYRANT HAS PASSED THOUGH LYONS
March 14 - THE USURPER IS DIRECTING HIS STEPS TOWARDS DIJON
March 18 - BONAPARTE IS ONLY SIXTY LEAGUES FROM THE CAPITAL
He has been fortunate enough to escape his pursuers
March 19 - BONAPARTE IS ADVANCING WITH RAPID STEPS, BUT HE WILL NEVER ENTER PARIS
March 20 - NAPOLEON WILL, TOMORROW, BE UNDER OUR RAMPARTS
March 21 - THE EMPEROR IS AT FONTAINEBLEAU
March 22 - HIS IMPERIAL AND ROYAL MAJESTY arrived yesterday evening at the Tuileries, amid the joyful acclamation of his devoted and faithful subjects
Although I would not suggest that Napoléon Bonaparte is in any way connected to Donald Trump.... I can see a very similar media progression happening, can't you!
Now on to the SERIOUS stuff:
This LINK is about past, present and future USA Presidents.
It is a brilliant piece by John PILGER and is also a bit frightening.... it is as I have always thought, if the USA can't control the world through financial blackmail, political interference and convential wars and war mongering, they will do it with nuclear weapons.
It is all too clear that the USA is deadly and is effectively the most dangerous country in the world because it appears that they are the ONLY country willing to wage a nuclear war.
As always, us PROLS, are kept in the dark and fed bulldust.
We are at least lucky to be in Australia... too unimportant and nuclear free to worry about!!!!
I haven't read all the previous posts, so I hope I'm not repeating someone else's comments.
Some people say Trump is for the battlers, because of his populist rants.
I don't think he is, but many of the battlers think he is.
I believe that most of the voters who actually turn up to vote for the president, will take a more serious attitude.
They will go for someone who is more stable, moderate, balanced and a thinker.
Let's hope so anyway.
I doubt it barak as it would destroy the party, split in two.
