The death of the last statesman

-

Having grown up on a farm I have vivid images of what happens to the swine when they are young and the farmer plans to send them to market or to kill them on the farm after they mature. The male swine are castrated so that they will be easy to handle and when hog-killing time comes the meat is palatable.

Now one may be wondering how does this relate to our situation in Washington, D.C.

Recently I have seen men go to Washington as full-fledged, and vital with great ideas, and before arriving they had reputation­s to bring about positive changes in our great nation.

Time after time I have heard Donald Trump make it clear that he has big hands, and therefore he is well endowed. I was not aware that that was a warning to the men to get ready for their future castration.

My question is where does the castration of these men take place? When does Trump pull the life out of them that they have no fight? One can tell by their behavior after it happens. They run around like little lap dogs. When he calls them names, they look at him as if to ask, “Is there more?” Does Trump WILLIE MAE SAMUEL GUEST COLUMNIST

castrate those men in the Oval Office by shaming them and reminding them of favors that they asked of him in the past? Does he let them ride on the presidenti­al plane and they get giddy and excited and forget that their manhood is at stake?

Do they just walk in and turn themselves over to Trump, saying, “Here I am. Just go ahead and have at it?” One cannot look at their faces and see a physical change which would reveal that they have been castrated. It is only when they begin lying that we can tell. Once he castrates them, he is then able to talk to them in any manner that he chooses. Trump can degrade them and call them names like lying Ted, ole ineffectiv­e Mitch, Rex, sleepy Carson, weak minded Sessions, sweaty hand Rubio, and they come running back for more.

That process of castration makes them easy to handle just as it does the pigs. They just wallow in mud and never consider appearing as decent men again. From that day forward the truth is

a part of their repertoire. They become men with no restraint and no dignity. They begin to support the ugliest aspects of human nature. The hope of many was dashed to pieces as we watched John Kelly stand flatfooted and lie about the congresswo­man from Florida.

I listened to him and believed his every word until the actual speech of the congresswo­man was played from beginning to end. Kelly’s entire descriptio­n of what she said and how she said it was fabricated.

Why did he not tell Trump not to give himself a grade of 10 for what he has done for Puerto Rico? It has been a month and thousands of people have not seen anyone representi­ng FEMA. One group in another isolated section said that some soldiers came and brought papers for them to fill out in order to get aid, but they have not had any help. One group was sent a memo to go online and fill out the informatio­n requesting aid. Be mindful now, these people have no power, no water no food, but our expects them to get to a computer to fill out papers in order for FEMA to give them aid. (Immoral and insane.) No adult can quietly whisper to the man in charge of the White House and say, “Sir, they are in the dark over there. You know … like no power.” Sad.

I was one of many hoping that Gen. Kelly was the last adult in the room. Now all HOPE in him has gone. After seeing that he, too, has been in the White House long enough to have been castrated, we realize that he has allowed himself to be stuffed with straw, and Trump has thrown him under the bus where his manhood got crushed. No one is sure if the bus did it, or if he had been castrated just before he got pushed.
