“Build the wall” had been one of the totemic battle-cries of Donald J Trump’s 2016 election campaign. Four years later, on the verge of the 2020 election, ‘The Wall’ remains largely incomplete but miraculously the US-Mexican border has been closed – at the insistence of Mexico which didn’t want Covid-19 infected Americans contaminating their countryfolk. Worse still, Mexico hasn’t paid a single red cent of the project’s astronomically spiralling construction cost.The self-proclaimed ‘master builder’ Trump has been busy erecting other barricades to prevent his prosecution following the Mewler report and impeachment after ‘the perfect phone call’ with Ukraine’s President Zelenski. He claims to have been subject to more ‘witch hunts’ than the Salem coven and to have been persecuted more than any other president, the four victims of assassination notwithstanding.He’d fallen in love with North Korea’s favourite tyrant Kim Dong-un and appointed Moe Lester III, a Texan car dealer, to be America’s first representative in P’ongpong, resulting in a diplomatic car crash. His tariffs have reduced the detested ‘Chyna’ to its knees along with many Black Americans and the Minneapolis police department. ‘Chyna’ vindictively retaliates with the deadly ‘Kung flu virus.’ Russia’s President Pootin demands his pound of flesh, fortunately, the morbidly obese Trump has plenty to spare. The West Coast is ablaze due to a failure to rake the forest floor, not climate change. Many of America’s cities follow suit in protest. The economy tanks and Trump catches the ‘Chyna flu’ but recovers after getting the Secret Service to take him for a drive. Deep in a Delaware basement the Democrat’s Rip Van Winkle – ‘Sleepy Joe’ stirs. In Trump’s America, the ‘new normal’ is very abnormal indeed. As the election day nears is Trump finally ‘Hitting the Wall?’
