The President of the United States of America Doesn’t Care About Anyone Who Can’t Gain Entrance Into Mar-a-Lago

That’s why bigotry and ignorance has a price

President Trump is revising all the rules. He has been able to do whatever the hell he wants despite the enraged tweets/retweets and the outrage from sullen observers with enough power to trump him. No matter how outrageous or grotesque the situation or crisis — the only thing we can be sure of is the fact that wealthy White men or White men with a knack for abhorrent behavior — will always be compensated with an official accommodation of sorts.

America is a great country. It is the world’s compass, which is why so many sacrifice their life’s blood to get here. It could be attributed to the vast land and the plots that are waiting to be devoured by our success and validation. It could be the notion that when we get here — we won’t have to fetch water at the murky river for survival. The water runs for days and the electricity flows for as long as you need it. The people are mostly nice and curious, and if you smile back — you never know where you might end up. Even the ones who judge your garment and eye color may end up being charmed by the joke you make about the weather. An elevator ride to the next floor that is hungry for your mop and pail of water could lead to a jaunt in Malibu.

But, don’t ever dare dream about the day you make it to Mar-a-Lago. It will never happen.

The wizard behind the Emerald City doused in sunlight with green grass subbing as a maxi-skirt is only for White people with millions to spare. Maybe Arabs have a chance — actually since that Dubai opening and the reality of Saudi oil — they really do have a shot. Perhaps, people of color with bloodshot eyes can swing their way in but only if they don’t trump the Trump.

The administration that we are currently hosting is a freakish show that was supposed to entertain for as long as the dollar could stretch but others became drunken pride and kept feeding the vending machine — packed with deception and the blueprint for our destruction.

The good news is that we will not obliterated — the bad news is that we will be emasculated because the skinning ceremony needs witnesses and that can’t be negotiated.

Trump recently visited The National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC in a lazy and “fuck you” attempt at redemption.

February is Black History Month, and when the fiesta started, your president performed a variety show that convincingly displayed his utter contempt for anything that brings attention to what he regards as unnecessary sound bites.

Trump proclaimed the immensity of Frederick Douglass with the eerie notation of a White person grasping at the strings of adherence. He never once recognized the devastation crippling New Orleans at the time — because of location and much-needed space.

Vice President Pence dutifully acknowledged Black History Month by paying homage to a White man — Abraham Lincoln, for being human enough to pave the way for the emancipation of Black slaves.

Trump’s administration is filled to the brim with White and Black people who don’t give a goddamn about people of color or other marginalized groups.

From Milo Yiannopoulos who has been finally compensated for his unfathomable comments regarding the essentials of pedophilia — to the cabinet members who can’t see straight due to the foggy view of dollar bills and astute ignorance — the traces of poison that sift through the air with the sneeze of occurrence leaves a trail of how blessed we are to embody this period of strife and confusion.

The president of America can’t afford to care about anyone who can’t be identified through the sensors of his well-laid kingdom in Florida.

His publicized visit to the Museum with his daughter (who has thankfully recovered from the Nordstrom fiasco) and the remaining circus members who sold their souls to bullshit for the pleasure of a handshake and golf tours — was a ploy at trying to get the public to orgasm after the moment already passed.

White men with agendas that can’t be drafted into folders of genuine relations without a paper cut don’t have time to address issues that can’t be dismissed with an endorsed check.

The Anne Frank Center sent President Donald J. Trump a statement that gave me wet cheeks and red eyes after reading it.

If you need to summarize the legacy of a man that was born to terrorize and blast away the dream we thought we had but lost — take a look below and behold what nightmares are really made of:

“His statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting anti-Semitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record,” the statement said. “Make no mistake: The Antisemitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration.”

We shall overcome.
