Editor’s Note: Have a question about how to get your not-so-bright nephew a no-show job in the Trump administration? Don’t ask Matt, who has alienated most of his MAGA contacts. But if your nephew has any Inspector General aspirations, Matt hears there are 18 immediate openings after last week’s Friday Night Massacre. No experience necessary. The only thing you generally have to be willing to inspect is your level of fealty to The Don. For all other questions, Ask Matt at askmattlabash@gmail.com.
Dear Matt,
I enjoy your scribblings and all. But do we really have to listen to you disparage the Trump administration for another four years?
Just curious,
Bruce C.
Gosh, I doubt it, Bruce. I take the Trump long view, so don’t expect he’ll relinquish the presidency until 2036 or so, assuming Barron’s ready to be installed in his place. (To no astute observer’s surprise, his House lemmings have already started the charge over the let’s-extend-Mr.-Trump’s-tenure cliff. And though Barron will only be 30 in 2036, rules are for losers, and the Constitution will likely be a dead letter by then.)
So my best guess is that you should expect to listen to me disparage Trump for another eight-to-twelve years. But then, I didn’t ask for the guy who tried to overthrow our country to be reelected the emperor of it. You presumably did. So quit whining, and be careful what you wish for.
