Trump treated the SOTU like he was the ringmaster in a circus

He made a carnival barker style presentation of royally bestowing the Medal of Freedom on Rush Limbaugh to show how he rewards loyalty. Then he grandstanded on showing he had the power to bring a soldier home to his family with a great production of staging a surprise reunion. He set himself up as the Master of all Hosts in a Nationally viewed production of reality tv. The biggest audience ever!

Waving his arms grandly he screams, “And over here ladies and gents is the sellout party, beholden to me and me alone! To your left is the party of wimps who I have vanquished with my god given mighty masterful brain powers!”

“Look at me! Look at my powers!” “I am the chosen one!”

Blah, blah, blah...

Someone has already written, "Elect a clown, expect a circus." So, in this case, "Elect a reality TV actor, expect a reality TV show."

And, unfortunately for the rest of us, the rubes are more than happy with the reality TV president.
