GOOD NEWS! A NEW ERA IS DAWNING!

I have a great idea!  You know how Trump is Time’s Person of the Year?…How he opened the Stock Exchange trading floor the other day…How he won the last Presidential election?…How he can have anybody do anything he wants them to do?…How he will soon begin his ‘revenge” tour against the Haters & Losers  and escape all legal accountability as President and otherwise? …Well, I say we should re-set the Historical time clock so it reflects what is truly going on.  You know how we say “BCE” (Before Christian Era) and “AD” (Anno Domini”-the year Jesus was born)?  Well, I say we could change it all to “BTE” (Before Trump Era) and “AT” After Trump (was born)…I think HE would like that.

For example:  Trump was born in 1946…we could change that year’s number to ‘One AT’…the year of HIS birth.  And the first year of HIS first Presidency 2016  would then be changed to ’71 Anno Trump’. (HE was 71 when HE first took office)  Get it?  Going back in Time, we would change the date of everything.  The Magna Carta, for example, from 1215 to “731 Before Trump Era  (1215 subtracted from 1946).  We could do this with all dates in history and from this day forward – in HIS honor.  I think HE would like that.  (WWII started for the Americans in 5 Before Trump Era, for another example).  We could sell Trump calculators to help people deal with the transition.  HE could make money on that.  (Years ago we tried to trans to the metric system for measurements, but we failed in being able to learn it, probably because that system was from Europe and not American enough.  But the new Trump Era system would be All-American and we would like that.   And imagine all the text books having to be updated – and sold.  There is ‘Musk-type’ money.  And the dates in the Bible having to be changed will result in whopping sales of the newly edited Trump Bible.  We are talking real money here, so much – I cannot do the math without my Trump calculator.

A few words from others:

• “A nation founded on an ideal/ that it could resist a tyrannical steal/ soon all that it took/was a bullying crook/ and a billionaire’s cash sealed the deal.’  -Limerick by Chris Matson, 2024
• “And everything’s been sold American/The lonely night is mourning for the death it never dies/Everyone’s been sold American/Don’t let me catch you laughing when the jukebox cries./ And everything’s been sold American/No place to go and brother, no place to stay/Everyone’s been sold American/Just let that golden Greyhound roll your soul away” -Kinky Freedman, ‘Sold American’, 1976

…And a fond “Hello” to Honest Abe, whenever you were…
