The President’s Daily Calendar

You probably are familiar with those calendar pads where each page (date) has a different message. Some examples of the calendar pads are topics like: historical events, word-of-the- day, joke of the day, famous sayings, dogs doing funny things, cats doing strange things, people you might meet at Walmart, etc. You’ve got the idea.

Each day I wake up wondering what bizarre thing the guy in the White House will do.

Well, the current resident of the White House has his own calendar pad. This pad contains things he can do to offend the American public (aka the idiots who elected him and still support him). They might be

1.) Put a 50% tariff on Canadian imports.

2. Build a wall through Big Bend National Park.

3. Change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

4.) Start a war in the Middle East that results in higher gasoline prices.

5. Name an aircraft carrier that honored Doris Miller, a Black sailor who fought the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, to the president’s name.

6.) Threaten to annex Greenland.

7.) Rename something today.

8.) Insult Trevor Noah.

9.) Sue somebody, anybody.

10.) Announce a new measure that restricts freedom of speech.

11.) Insult a prominent American woman.

12.) Complement a foreign dictator.

13.) Stop vaccinations in America.

14.) Revoke visas to 200,000 asylum seekers.

15,) Add $1 trillion to national debt.

16.} Insult an American armed forces division.

17.) Dishonor fallen American service members as “suckers” and “losers.”

18.) Dismiss the sacrifice and emotional distress suffered by American sailors during their grueling 274-day deployment in the Arabian Sea.

I am sure that readers can add more to my short list.
