And now, once again, we have our national embarrassment embarrassing us; how does he do this? This event had to do with St. Patrick’s Day. President Trump was schmoozing at a luncheon for Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenney when he remarked that he particularly liked one Irish proverb, in fact it had been a favorite of his for years. It was:

'Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you.'

Sounds like the sort of thing President Trump would adore; it lauds unfettered loyalty and bashes those who have strayed from the fold.

Unfortunately, for Trump that bit of doggerel/rime is not Irish. Its composer was Albasheer Adam Alhassan, a Nigerian Muslim.--- Whoops! His staff really blew that one. The odds are that Trump had never seen this couplet before his meeting with the Irish prime minister. It was probably found by someone on his staff especially for the St. Patrick’s Day occasion. His comment that it had been “his favorite for years” is simply another Trump lie…sorry I believe according to Kellyanne Conway that is an alt-fact.

Stephen Bannon, Trump’s chief counsellor, has claimed that his goal is, “The deconstruction of the administrative state.”  His official title is “chief strategist.” He is always at Trump’s side and he goes where President Trump goes. Bannon would seem to be Trump’s custodian. If you wanted to “deconstruct the administrative state” wouldn’t it be lovely to make the American head of state look like an idiot and to do that as often as possible.

There is no doubt that looking like an idiot comes naturally to this man although sometimes his lies take some time to catch up with him. A case in point is his claim that President Obama arranged wiretapping of Trump’s communications at Trump Tower.  Neither the FBI, the NSA, nor the CIA have any evidence for this and they would know if it happened.

A Fox News commentator, Andrew Napolitano, claimed that Trump tower might be under surveillance by a British security service. You see that explains why our FBI, CIA, NSA, all know nothing about any of this. Or, perhaps Napolitano will suggest that Obama arranged the surveillance be done by extra-terrestrials and that’s why we have no trace of it. (E.T.s do not reflect light between 400 and 800 Angstroms so they can’t be seen by the human eye. That information will surface soon so I thought you should have a heads up about it. Stay tuned to Fox News.)
