In a display of executive flair that would make a reality TV star blush, Trump’s address to Congress reads like a script from ‘The Apprentice’ with a side of ‘Apocalypse Now.’ He slashes through government like a chainsaw-wielding decorator in a haunted house, starting a trade war with the finesse of a teenager trying to break up with their first girlfriend. He’s cutting Ukraine’s arm off and embracing Putin, the latter’s smile wider than a Cheshire cat’s in a sunbeam. If Trump were a superhero, he’d be ‘Captain Chaos,’ causing a cosmic ruckus while the citizens of Earth scratch their heads and say, ‘What in the world are you doing, Mr. President?’ He seems to be channeling his inner Scrooge, preaching the virtues of austerity while ignoring the cries of the investors and allies he’s sending to economic Siberia. The Democrats, poor dears, are reduced to looking like those hapless fans at a Trump rally who never got to cheer, while the Republicans are probably thinking, ‘Boy, that was a doozy, but at least we got the chainsaw guy out of the way.’
