Thought For The Day

Donald Chrump - The Anti-president

November 19, 2019

Many descriptors have been applied to the current occupant of the White House in an effort to do justice to the unfathomable injustice that is the 45^th presidency of the United States.  These include: “Pseudo-president,” “So-called president,” “*president*,”  “Most corrupt, self-serving, incompetent, psychologically indisposed, worst fucking president hopefully ever” (I’m pretty sure I heard this one somewhere).  Things like that. 

The Paying Attention team alone, other than refusing to spell his name the way he does, has been unable to settle on any one of some dozen commonly used prefixes, suffixes and generally insulting epithets.  Der Furor, Orange Gas Cloud, qresident, etc.  Mostly we have chose to avoid placing Chrump's name and the title president next to each other. 

I recently heard Constitutional/legal scholar Lawrence Tribe use “anti-president.”  Anti-president seems to be about as good a way of referring to the fraudulent Chrump, of allowing that name and that title to co-mingle, as there is.  Simple.  Elegant.  Immensely appropriate.
