DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

We have seen the future, and it sucks.

Obama and the Perpetual Presidency

6th December 2018

Victor Davis Hanson watches things slide.

Apparently, Obama believes that all of Trump’s successes are due to Obama, and all of Trump’s setbacks are his own.

There used to be a custom that ex-Presidents went off to play golf or something and didn’t attempt to continue meddling publicly in politics, and especially refrained from making any comment about their successors.

That hit the trash can with Bill Clinton, who is apparently is incapable of life other than as the center of attention. It stepped back a notch with Bush younger, but the election of a second Democrat narcissist as President has apparently made it one with the snows of yesteryear. (François Villon — great poet.) And I suspect that this is one custom that President Trump will consider an area in which he will not hesitate to push back, as he is wont to do.

So. The world changes. We slide down the slippery slope, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, and wonder what is waiting for us at the bottom. I suspect that it will not be pretty.
