Have New Yorkers no manners whatsoever? President Trump returned to his stamping ground for the first time since his inauguration, but was kept several blocks away from the penthouse of his glorious golden tumescence – sorry, I meant to type “Trump Tower” – because of hordes of marching, chanting protesters, waving placards declaring “Arrest Trump”, “SAD!” and “Trump, get out!”
Do they kiss their mommas with those mouths? When interviewed, marchers said that Trump was an “embarrassment” and “unwelcome”. In the end, Trump completed his official engagement and veered back to his New Jersey golf course without even popping in to Trump Tower to see if he could find which cupboard Melania had frantically hidden in this time.
What’s the betting that Trump was sitting in the back of his car pulling his maddest, crossest presidential face – you know, the one that makes him resemble Mount Rushmore before the stonemasons started work?
His reception in New York comprised an exact reversal of what anyone wants from a homecoming – a kind of “home-going”.
The president had arrived in such a good mood, too – he’d just managed to push through legislation dismantling Obama’s Affordable Care Act or, as Trump may privately term it, “my fantastic ‘stop giving medical aid to desperate poor people’ bill”.
Only recently, Trump was hinting that being the leader of the free world wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and now this happens.
The people of New York need to take a long hard look at themselves. Anyone would think that the only way that they’d want Trump to take another bite of the Big Apple would be if he instantly choked on it and they got to watch.
