I responded by sending him a joke about an American president in the Holy Land, which I hope he appreciated. I’ve often wondered if our world can get much worse than it already is, knowing all the while that the answer can only be yes, yes, emphatically yes. Still, it comes as a rude shock every time fresh confirmation arrives of a new Marianas Trench in human greed, crassness and stupidity. But Trump isn’t even the issue here any longer; the man is irredeemably vain, vile and vicious. Now let’s wait for the MAGA backlash; I have lots of Trump jokes lined up to brighten their day, restore their sense of humor and maybe help bring about world peace.
