The White House has declared a “lid” on press availability for the rest of the day. This will mark the second full day in which Trump will neither be seen nor heard – at least not with pictures or audio. Bunker boy has retreated back into this lair. Or, more likely, his aides have taken the country’s temperature, read some of the articles out this morning on sites and papers, watched the Sunday news shows, and figured out that Trump is in real political trouble, more so than at any point of his presidency, and the best move right now is sealing the fcker up and not letting him out to do more damage.

But no one took his phone.

With Trump, all he needs is his phone. Twitter is the perfect means of communication for a man who thinks in 2 sentence fragments, incapable of complex thought, and fear of real discourse.

So Trump picked up his primary instrument of policy – the phone with a Twitter App – to let us know he is so much stronger than that pussss, Joe Biden. Trump retweeted a photo showing his strength.

No, cowards do not “kneel.” Colin Kaepernick might well go into the NFL Hall of Fame someday for being brave enough to take a knee. It takes strength to kneel to demand a new power structure. If one can elevate others by taking a knee, that is an act of strength.

A coward, on the other hand, will use hundreds of people, armed with weapons of war and “overwhelming force” unleashed on unarmed and peaceful people, all to project himself as “strong.” Cowards are afraid of any situation bigger than them.

One good thing about Trump and Twitter, it is the perfect window into his soul. Through that one tweet, we can see that Trump is still bothered by being labeled as the little bunker bitc … the guy that took to the bunker, versus the man strong enough to take a stand by taking a knee, while speaking to people hurting. Trump feels inadequate and thus has to cling to stereotypes that don’t work anymore.

I will give Trump one thing. It is damned brave to walk outside in a suit that ill-fitting, that wrinkled, with high-water pants riding up his ankles, and a tie that long … compare to how Biden fits in his suit. Fashion is the least of this country’s concerns (except to Melania), but if we’re talking Trump bravery? That is brave.

Peace, y’all
