Victory Lap

I read today that our new President-elect is planning to do a victory tour to visit states that supported him during the election. Say what now? Does the President of the United States really need to do a victory lap? Apparently this one thinks he does. This guy just can't stay away from the adulation and the roar of the crowd. When I heard him brag about gaining 100,000 new Twitter followers after he won the election, I wondered if he thought he was filming a reality show or something. Who cares about Twitter followers when you're about to be President? Uh, this guy, apparently. Does he realize this is real life and not the freaking Apprentice? I wonder if he's truly detached from reality. And don't get me started on his merry band of brownnosers whose mouths probably taste like ass from kissing so much of it in order to show how loyal they are to their new overlord. So who do we have in this basket of deplorables? An old (seemingly senile) former NY mayor, a racist (who looks like he would benefit from enrollment a 12-step program), a VP who believes in gay conversion, a fawning son-in-law, a spokeswoman who often looks like she's sustaining herself on coffee and coke, and an assortment of other bottom feeders. Sad. I said last week that this is what democracy looks like. It's a shame the view now makes me want to turn away.
