Back when LBJ was President, he was mercilessly satirized by the Smothers Brothers.

2. LBJ apparently believed that the war in Vietnam was justified.

To that end he sent thousands of young American men to that country. To that end just over 58,000 soldiers died.

Donald Trump, who carefully avoided service in the military, seems to have no unwillingness to send young Americans to die in the Middle East. So far, he hasn't escalated our involvement in that part of the world, but his Presidency is still young. Give him time.

LBJ understood that satire was an essential part of the culture.

Donald Trump does not understand satire, nor any other form of humor. It's possible he will try to ban satire and humor, but he won't succeed. Humor and satire flourish underground. If you don't believe this, just do a bit of research into humor/satire and the former Soviet Union.


That's a bit under 25,000 words. Does it qualify? Do I win anything?
