I am so dumb. But there is always someone who is better at that than one thinks one is.
All this time I thought El Presidente just hated anyone non-white/black. He doesn't like Mr. Obama because he is black. He might not have liked him for other reasons but first and foremost, Mr. Obama looked like someone who El Presidente used to shine his golf shoes or dress up to open doors at his clubs...you know, soft spoken, courteous, smilin' and subservient. Yesssssir! It simply couldn't be a good idea if it came from a black man.
It was no surprise that he picked Dr. Carson for Housing and Urban Development; that being associated in El Presidente's mind as low rent blacks living on the government dole. Dr. Carson, whose mind seems to have been reduced to the consistency of grits, is the perfect foil. Most of the country, including El Presidente, found him to be a fool on a fool's errand when he ran for president, although even Dr. Carson doesn't seem to remember it. Scalpel please. So if this walking joke fell flat on his face or even got uppity, El Presidente could slap him up some and he would trot off with no one even aware that he was ever in the building.
Since day one El Presidente has been after Mexicans as the evil doers par excellance.....but did he just hate Mexicans or does he hate anyone who speaks Spanish? That seems to be the real issue as it is clear as rainwater that Puerto Rico suffers and will continue to suffer as El Presidente's mind is stuck in some Shark v. Jet battle on the West Side. The Tony's of the world just carry switchblades and zip guns and their Maria's are just Miss Maidservice to him. They come from an island and are just cheap labor and/or trouble. I doubt that the designation of human even flips up on his radar; just pains in the neck you can stiff or overwork at will. "What are you gonna do to me? Sue"?
Mostly he is the most vile type of sociopath, as there indeed are degrees of bad. Someone told him once that he was a prince and then there was everyone else and it stuck in that noodle of his. His ilk doesn't picket his buildings; they don't say ma'am and yesssir and beg for scraps. That's all of us. The rest is us. His motto is let them eat cake.
This is Occam's razor in full bloom. And I bet I'm right. It is the most simpelist explanation with the fewest explanations.
