MAGAman

Dear MAGAman

So delighted to hear from you via this courteous, thought-provoking tweet:

"No one gives a fuck , you can’t vote here. No one insisting through your sanctimonious 7 min video. What do you want ?"

You watched all seven minutes? Who says that people today have a short attention span?

I am deeply honoured that, although you don't give an f, you took the time from your important MAGA activities to respond. I know that MAGA people are renowned for their old world courtesy and profundity of thought. Your second sentence did leave me confused, but that's probably because I don't have the fine grasp of language and concepts that you MAGA people do. 

I'm also puzzled that my praise of Mister Trump's many fine qualities should have you in a lather. I do try to give credit where credit is due.

Nothing sanctimonious about me, mate. I would also not have turned down the opportunity of an exciting dalliance with a beautiful actress. Particularly if her beauty was combined with the talent of a Meryl Streep or  a Dame Judy Dench. There is something irresistibly attractive about actresses who have played memorable roles. I haven't seen any of her movies but have no doubt that she must have given spellbinding performances to have caught the attention of the Great One. I can understand how he felt moved to reward her with the gift of a few benjamins. Of course, I would have some trouble claiming.to stand for family values and the other good, wholesome stuff while smiling inwardly at the memory of a torrid romp or two between silk sheets.

I think that it's terrific that Mr Trump did not allow scandals and legal troubles to stand in the way of his representing law and order and good solid,  family values. What a patriot! I am so glad that he is not like the Brits, who would resign over something as silly as having a Guinness or two during Covid. 

I feel a great affinity to you MAGA people and Mister Trump. Your thinking and behavior seem to me to be so African. We also love to appoint people with, er,  interesting pasts to high office. Our former president had scandals hanging over him like a flock of albatrosses. He has also been facing dozens of charges for several years. He too,  has made a remarkable comeback and that gives hope to us all. Hope that we can also keep the mills of justice at bay for a few years. Hope that we, too,  can assume  high office one day, despite our little mistakes. And who has not made the odd mistake of dallying with brilliant actresses, being convicted of various felonies? Why, some of my best friends are serving lengthy prison sentences.

Incidentally , the  South African politician I speak of has been nicknamed S'boshwa, which I think means 'He Who Fights For Justice And Freedom'. Sounds so like your man, doesn't it.

You often make the point that Mister Trump is a brilliant businessman. Of that I have no doubt. Of course it takes a very special combination of chutzpah and brilliance to have declared bankruptcy several times, owe millions, and still be seen as a highly successful businessman. That is some serious business acumen. The more I talk of Mister Trump's achievements, the clearer it becomes to me that's there could be no one better suited to the presidency in the great United States of America.

Although you don't give an f, we certainly do. Because every time the great USA  sneezes, we wind up with mucus on our faces. So, good friend and comrade in the struggle for peace and prosperity,our fates are intertwined. There is no easy way to break off this relationship, certainly not via an sms or tweet. 

By the way , if you know of any actresses who would like to start a dalliance on this side of the globe , please let me know via tweet. As you will have gathered, like the Great One, I find actresses quite fascinating. We should replace the 'as the archbishop said to the actress' jokes with 'as the president elect said to the actress' jokes. Just as a sort of tribute to the Great Man.

Oh, answering your question: "What do you want?" Is this a three wishes,  genii-in-the-bottle sort of question? Many things: world peace, a few thousand dollars (could you let Elon know of my support and contribution to the MAGA cause?). Also a bunch of things too numerous to mention here. But we can talk more. I look forward to your next tweet. Or you could email me at my address below.

Yours in the struggle to make wise, considered, thoughtful voting choices.

Richard
