I’ve been rather negative in my opinions of the 47th POTUS. However, some people are very happy to see him in power and they are already queuing up to shower him with awards and recognition.
New York Representative Claudia Tenney has introduced a new bill to declare 14th July – Corleone’s birthday – to be a national holiday. And why not? She is arguably correct to say that “no modern president has been more pivotal for our country”, but even so I think it’s a bit far to describe him as “the founder of America’s Golden Age”.
They want his image on a new $250 bill as well. Good idea. This will make it easier for the 51st state to accept their new ruler. They already have the King on their banknotes.
Renaming Dulles airport also makes a lot of sense. The USAians currently have a grievance against Europeans for not doing more to keep the Suez Canal/ Red Sea searoute running. What better than to punish the memory of the man who was responsible for this policy back in 1956?
The literal crown has to be Mount Rushmore. Congresswoman Luna wants to carve the fifth face as a permanent record to his “bold leadership and steadfast dedication to America’s greatness”. Marvellous.
There were bootlickers in the East German Volkskammer as well. But even they waited until the boss was dead, or at least out of office, first.
