In deference to the 91stAnnual Academy Awards ceremony to be held later tonight, my nominee for Best Performance By A Con Artist goes to the Orange Monster (the “OM”) currently residing in the Oval Office. His performances as a Con Man over the first two years of his presidency have been novel, disorienting, and so utterly convincing that he has managed to bamboozle at least a third of the country. His achievement as a Con Man is, in fact, unparalleled in our history, having taken over one of America’s two largest political parties and silenced almost all resistance within his party. In fact, he has managed to so distort reality that many in America see their reality through his eyes. Whatever he says is what they believe. If the OM tells them the sky is green, then green is what they see! What a superb con artist he is. In fact, his entire persona and legacy is built on a con, and little else. Never as wealthy as he purported to be, never as smart, never a good or even competent negotiator, and never a successful businessman, but a bankrupt wasting the fortune he inherited from his father, he is truly and deeply successful in one and only aspect, as the very best and most effective con artist in the entire world. His performance as a con artist is indeed worthy of an Oscar, and perhaps several years in federal prison.
As we move closer to the release of the Mueller Report and the OM’s subsequent downfall, the OM’s incessant war with reality and the truth—as well as his many efforts to obstruct justice done in plain sight—becomes clearer with each new revelation of each new passing day, thanks to our media, that our 45thpresident is nothing but a thieving, lying con-man.
The OM’s con jobs will become increasingly clear over the course of the next week as he meets with the North Korean dictator and attempts to con Americans and the world into believing that there is headway being made in the negotiations to bring North Korea to denuclearization. As the head of all of our intelligence agencies have indicated, in reality there is no progress being made whatsoever in this area. A handshake does not mean anything more than a handshake. The summit, in fact, is all about a photo opportunity and little else. It is highly doubtful in reality that this latest summit with Kim will bring North Korean any closer to denuclearization. But, given his con-job ways, the OM may choose to give more away to the Kim regime without getting anything in return, and that will indeed be news, not of progress but of more of our OM’s indecency, incompetence and of his ongoing con artistry.
At virtually the same time on Wednesday, the American people will witness the OM’s fixer and personal lawyer’s personal testimony before congress, under oath and on live television, in which the convicted felon will tell of all about many of the criminal activities that the OM committed before and after taking office, both in the president directing Cohen to lie to congress, as well as the president directing him to pay illegal campaign contributions on the OM’s behalf, to cover up his dirty dealings and hush money payments to at least two of his secret mistresses.
No doubt both events on Wednesday will be broadcast on a split screen, providing Americans and the entire world with two different aspects of the OM’s con-man persona, modus operandi and shenanigans. As a con man on the world stage, he will spin his incompetent, ignorant and idiotic behavior as a major win. Only the most gullible Americans among his ignorant and uneducated base will buy his con job; everyone else in the entire world knows he is a fraud. On the other side of the screen, the world will listen to the testimony of a convicted felon, who the OM chose to be his fixer, stooge and confidant, as Mr. Cohen details the OM’s ongoing career as con artist-in-chief. Truly it will be a two-for-one spectacle of presidential hubris gone amok, a true tour-de-force by a true con artist.
We can only hope that our 45thpresident will soon be given the total and rapt attention that his performance, on both the world stage and the domestic front, truly deserves.
