Trumpsgiving

President Donald Trump has begun a new holiday tradition.  Which is putting himself at the head of the table so that no one forgets who he is, shoving aside turkeys, football (he's still mad at the NFL for that national anthem thing), bickering relatives (including his own) and those giant balloons hovering over the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  Maybe we should call it Trumpsgiving.

Trump has been commandeering the public's attention on what would normally be a national holiday with his actions, which reveal how ignorant or desperate he is, depending on the day.  Some might see this as the President being on the job 24/7, Sundays and holidays.  The rest of us see this as overkill.  It's as if we can't trust the Leader of the Free World to Leave. Us. Alone. for even a day.
Some recent developments . . .

• Trump used his annual phone call to thank the military for their service to issue grievances about immigration and trade.  He also tweeted about being thankful for himself.
• He dumps a major report from a White House commission on climate change and how, among other things, the American economy would suffer by century's end.  It is released on Black Friday, a day when most Americans were either shopping or recovering from all that turkey.  To no one's surprise, the President dismissed the report as no big deal.
• The "migrant caravan" that Trump had been ranting about during the campaign had finally arrived at the U.S.-Mexican border in Tijuana on Sunday.  Those folks were met with flying tear gas canisters by border guards when they tried to get past the gates, creating a panic.  Trump said some of those demonstrators were "stone cold criminals" who allegedly used women and children as human shields, though there's no proof of that, and has threatened to close the border.  Note:  Gassing women and children, no matter how much you spin it, is never a good look.

Now that Trumpsgiving is over, one wonders if the President is going to turn Christmas into Trumpsmas.  Happy Donald Days?
