The Wolves at Trump's Door

Before we begin, here are a list of things we should be more concerned about right now.

• North and South Korea have agreed to end their state of war for the first time since fighting ceased in 1953.  Not much is known of the agreement, but it appears the validity of it has a lot to do with the proposed summit between President Donald Trump (who of course is claiming the credit for this) and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which is scheduled for about a month from now.
• Trump might scuttle the nuclear treaty with Iran because he claims the mullahs aren't holding their end of the bargain.  Israel is saying the same thing, and they might go to war against Iran.  No matter what happens in the Middle East, it all comes back to defending Israel, doesn't it?
• According to the New York Times, special counsel Robert Mueller has a few questions he'd like to ask Trump about alleged collusion with the Russians in the 2016 election scandal.  If reports are accurate, the President might respond by pleading the Fifth (if he's smart), just like Michael Cohen is planning on doing in the Stormy Daniels matter.
• Another in the long line of incompetent boobs in the Trump administration is Scott Pruitt, who's supposed to be running the Environmental Protection Agency.  Instead, he's apparently more interested in improving his environment than ours.
• Bill Cosby has been convicted in a Pennsylvania court of sexually assaulting a woman, in ways familiar to too many other women who have crossed his path.  Now Tom Brokaw and R. Kelly are in MeToo's crosshairs, and their reputations are going to take a big hit regardless of what happens.
• Nine journalists were killed in suicide attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Instead, we're talking about a comedian named Michelle Wolf, who could pass for a younger version of Democratic congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz .  Wolf delivered an HBO-worthy monologue at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington.  It was political commentary disguised as comedy, with Wolf aiming her sharp tongue at the Trump administration and the media, among other targets.

Wolf got mixed reviews on her speech depending on which party you follow, with folks wondering why the WHCD would hire such a woman for an event like this.    She skewered press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in ways that made her look on TV as if she's squirming in her seat, which some Sanders defenders weren't too happy with.  Neither were members of the media, most of whom were dressed to the nines as if this were Oscar night, too impressed with what Wolf had to say about them.  Uh, make that the Golden Globes when Ricky Gervais was hosting.

Trump didn't show up for the dinner for the second consecutive year, opting instead to rant and rave at one of his "campaign" rallies in Michigan.  Given his relations with the media that isn't Fox News that he calls "fake news" and the way he treats them, Trump wouldn't have been welcome anyway.

Yes, there are plenty of things to worry about in this world.  Whether it's the law breathing down his neck, war on the horizon or a woman named Michelle cracking jokes at his expense, President Trump has wolves at the door waiting to tear him to shreds.  One wonders how he's going to come out of all that.

And Flint, Michigan still doesn't have clean water.
