No boundaries.
No sense of limits. No sense of restraint. No class.
Sometimes the spectacle speaks for itself. It needs no explanation or commentary. It is the purest expression of the "body language" of political communication.
In time for Easter week, Donald Trump endorses and promotes the Bible, and you can buy it right now, directly from him.
Only 59.99, plus shipping and handling:
"I'm proud to be partnering with my very good friend Lee Greenwood, who has the lovely song "God bless the USA" in connection with promoting the "God bless the USA" Bible. This Bible is the King James' version and also includes our founding father documents, yes, the Constitution, which I am fighting for every single day, very hard, to keep Americans protected. Also the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance are all part of this "God bless the USA" Bible. . . . "
I write a political blog, so I am accustomed to disagreement with my observations and opinions. Maybe some readers don't "get it." They may not have any sense of crass tastelessness in this new bit of "merch" he is adding to the hats, logo-wear, flags, water bottles and other items promoted by Trump. After all, he has created and sold heroic images of action figures of himself -- Superman Trump; Gunslinger Trump -- so what new boundary is this? Maybe peoplewantto buy the King James version of the Bible from him and think it is perfectly appropriate for him to sell Bibles at this splendid mark-up. Maybe there is a market among patriotic, Trump-supporting Christians for a copy of the Bible, bound in leather.
I see it differently. I see it as showing that Trump has no limits. He will commercialize anything. He will mix the sacred and profane without apology, and indeed proudly. Trump will do anything. There is no bottom. And that is dangerous in a political leader.
You said it all and summarized him intwo words. No class.
Well said, Peter! This man has no boundaries, no sense of propriety, no empathy, no idea of consequences of his actions. Truly a dangerous individual.
