Trump
Channels Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal
WikiLeekZ
is Our Name…Satire is Our Game
When Steven Miller finished reading
Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal to trump, the president decided not to take
the advice of the CDC and, instead, to advance his own Grand Proposal. Trump is now demanding that the nations’ school
children go back to school without regard to local Covid 19 conditions on the ‘normal’
dates.
In
his wisdom and because of his great knowledge of virology (probably the best
knowledge in the US*) and taking into account Swift’s reasonable proposal, he
has found the CDC back-to-school guidelines "to be too restrictive and costly".
The CDC will review the proposed guidelines and most certainly will kow tow to
the expert, trump.
One
could now make an argument that he’s modeling his trump’s Grand
Proposal after Jonathan Swift’s essay, A Modest Proposal. In
trump’s case, he’s sacrificing our children on the altar of commerce (and his
re-election).
Like
Swift suggesting a solution to famine by eating the children of poor people, trump’s
Grand Proposal aims to solve another societal problem. In
order to get parents back to work before the election, trump proposes sending
children to school to be cared for so that parents can return to work.
Virus?
What virus? Danger? What Danger? “We’re
doing very well”- says trump
Both
proposals have the same outcome. Children will get sick and some will die and
in the case of trump’s Grand Proposal, many parents and
grandparents of the kids will meet the same fate. The major difference in the 2
proposals is that trump’s kids will be buried, not eaten.
In
both Swift's and trump's proposals, "the
overall economic well being of the nation" -J Swift, is the
driving force.
Swift
wrote a satirical essay, trump is deadly serious and has no idea what satire
is.
trump's
conclusion is that the implementation of his Grand Proposal will do more to solve the nations' complex social,
political and economic problems than anyone else could ever have thought of.
And, yes that's lifted from Swift too.
