This article from CNN got me to thinking about aftermaths.
Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 marks a turning
point of sorts for the U.S. Government; a changing of the guard, as they say. So, like all “goodbyes,” it’s time to look
back on a life well badly lived.
It’s time for us political-types, here on DisPol, to start reflecting on what Trump has left in his turbulent wake. Are there lessons to be learned? Oh, I think so.
Your Task: Start writing your post-Trump presidency epitaphs, obits, and/or speeches now.
-Epitaphs are the shortest route. You know, those “Here lies X,” followed by a single and succinct yada, yada, yada statement about that person.
-Or, if you are the wordy type, make it in a longer “obituary form” like we see in newspapers. You know, “He was a” this and “he was a” that. “He left behind a” this, and “He left behind a” that.
-Or, if you fancy those corporate dinner speeches (or roasts ;) regaling the accomplishments of an outgoing CEO, “What can we say about our company’s leader that we all don't already know? He was a…. [your speech here].”
-Or, if you prefer some other route, go for it! Granny Susan is an easy grader. Whether rough or polished, everyone gets an “A”! :)
Don’t delay. Start working up your “Farewell to DJT" now! Next Thursday, assuming no nukes have gone off and the Earth still stands, I will solicit your responses.
Thanks for participating and recommending.
