DJT Day 4 - Who is John Miller and why won't he go away ...

In the 1980's and early 1990's, Donald Trump had a public relations person deal with reporters. Apparently, that person's sole job was to brag about his boss and everything about him -- his business acumen, his extramarital affair with Marla Maples, and his sexual prowess with women in general. If a reporter or gossip columnist called to interview Donald Trump, they would more than likely get a prompt return call from that outgoing, loquacious PR man who was more than willing to talk about his employer and in the most glowing terms. His name was John Miller except sometimes he said his name was John Barron. Of course, we all found out during the 2016 Presidential campaign what New York City reporters had known all along. There never was a John Miller or a John Barron. In fact, there never was a Donald Trump public relations person at all. There was just Donald Trump himself pretending to be Miller and Barron and bragging about himself.

That should tell us a whole lot about our new President and why he is so obsessed with the size of his crowds at rallies and inauguration ceremonies, his polling numbers and television ratings, the size of his hands and other body parts, and being perceived as a loser of the 2016 popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

On DJT Day, Trump met with Congressional leaders from both parties -- presumably to talk about the President's legislative agenda and to begin attempts to form a relationship with Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Ryan, and Minority Leader Pelosi. However, the topic that has received the most attention is DJT's insistence that he actually won the popular vote against Hillary Clinton because there were more than three million illegal votes cast by undocumented alien immigrants. In other words, DJT believes or at least claims he is the victim of the largest criminal conspiracy of voter fraud in the history of the United States. And that is despite the fact that no one has produced a shred of evidence to support that claim and election officials (including many Republican secretaries of state) deny any such voter fraud occurred.




So, now it appears that DJT is going to order a massive federal investigation into why Hillary was more popular than he was with the American voters. I think from now on I will refer to DJT as President Paranoid Insecure Egomaniac ("President PIE" or just "PIE"). I guess one question is whether all of this paranoia is really the next wave of assaults on voting rights with even more stringent voter ID laws. My God, the next thing you know, they will actually require people to be alive to vote. To a Texan, that changes everything. Come on, man.
