The Imagery Of Trump Coming Down The Escalator To Declare His Running For President Has Always....

[global1]

perplexed me.

Trump being the showman he is - one would have thought he would have gone up the escalator to declare his presidency. I think he blew it right from the beginning. What he told us by going down the escalator is that he was going to take America down with him. In the past 3 1/2 years we've witnessed that take down.

Now its like he's attempting to go up the down escalator to get re-elected but in fact he's fighting a losing battle. He's losing ground. He's descending further into the abyss. And as he descends - he's taking us - The American People - and the country down with him.

In my mind - he sunk further down last night at Mt. Rushmore.

I'm still sick to my stomach from listening to his disingenuous and insincere speech last night (that was my mistake - listening).

I don't feel much like celebrating this July 4th. Not a very happy 4th for me.

1. Maybe in Trump's mind...

...coming down the escalator was like descending from heaven, as the god he thinks he is, generously bestowing his divinity on the mere mortals below him.

Or, like many things in Trump's world, it just kinda happened without him thinking it through all the way.

Either is entirely plausible.

2. Like Zeus descending Mount Olympus to mingle with us mortals.

3. Easier than trying to walk down a ramp.

5. To me he was coming down from his ivory (golden) tower to mix with the common people

even though a most of the common people in that crowd were paid actors.

6. This July 4 not happy, but prospects of future have turned up if tRump & GOP de-elected. . . nt
