Remorseless Trump

August 1st, 2017 → 5:20 am

    “Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
    Remorse from power.” – Julius Caesar

Remorse, intellect, empathy, patience.  Remove all the basic traits of adulthood, and you’ll get a pathetic abuse of power, as we’ve seen.  Sad!

Enemy Trump

July 28th, 2017 → 6:10 am

    “I say again there is no English soul
    More stronger to direct you than yourself;
    If with the sap of reason you would quench,
    Or but allay the fire of passion.” – Henry VIII

He is his own worst enemy.

Trump Senior

July 24th, 2017 → 5:01 am

Sands:  “If I chance to talk a little wild, forgive me; I had it from my father.”

Anne:  “Was he mad, sir?”

Sands:  “O, very mad, exceeding mad.”

  – Henry VIII

Like father, like son.

Unwise Trump

“There’s not one wise man among twenty that will praise himself.” – Much Ado About Nothing

Further proof that Trump is anything but wise; if any more were needed…

Lying Trumps

July 16th, 2017 → 5:24 am

    “Sir, they have committed false report;
    moreover, they have spoken untruths;
    secondarily, they are slanders;
    sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady;
    thirdly, they have verified unjust things;
    and to conclude, they are lying knaves.” – Much Ado About Nothing

If only this were as funny as it is in the play.  Unfortunately, it is not.

Confounding Trump

July 7th, 2017 → 5:49 am

“How, how, how, how, chopped-logic?” – Romeo and Juliet

Trump’s statements are not just confounding and illogical, they are downright disorienting to anyone living in the real, factual world.

Ignorant Trump

July 3rd, 2017 → 6:43 am

“That unlettered small-knowing soul.” – Love’s Labor’s Lost

Trump’s profound ignorance is on display nearly every day.

Manic Trump

June 20th, 2017 → 5:29 am

    “My lord, we have
    Stood here observing him.  Some strange commotion
    Is in his brain.  He bites his lip, and starts,
    Stops on a sudden, looks upon the ground,
    Then lays his finger on his temple; straight
    Springs out into fast gait, then stops again,
    Strikes his breast hard, and anon he casts
    His eye against the moon.  In most strange postures
    We have seen him set himself.” – Henry VIII

Trump is unhinged, to say the least.

Trump Heartburn

June 17th, 2017 → 5:31 am

    “How tartly that gentleman looks!  I never can
    see him but I am heartburned an hour after.” – Much Ado About Nothing

Two upfront apologies:  1) I’ve begun reading Much Ado About Nothing this week, so I may have a plethora of quotes from just that one play in coming posts,  2) I’ve showed restraint up until now, but there really are a ton of Shakespeare quotes that could apply to Donald Trump.  I may just give in in future weeks and start publishing them one after the other.  Leave it to Beatrice in Much Ado to start us off – I love that woman!
