Trump rams greatness down our throats
Melania Trump
Trump  has copyrighted the phrase âMake America Great Againâ; imagine the royalties if he can get it added to U.S. currency in place of the boring motto âIn God We Trust.â (He might also resolve the debate about whether to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 note instead of Andrew Jackson by putting himself on it.)
 Trump  quoted from the Book of Isaiah. "For to us a child is born  for to us a son is given. And the government shall be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor  Mighty God  Everlasting Father  Prince of Peace." (Reuters)
The flag would be aesthetically more appealing and less cluttered if it only had stars for the 30 states that voted for  Trump . And  Trump  aide Stephen Miller could remove that Emma Lazarus poem he so dislikes that now adorns the Statue of Liberty. Instead  he can add a plaque bearing the words: âGive me only your great.â
Even on Christmas Eve   Trump  was attacking the FBIâs deputy director  boasting that he protected the phrase âMerry Christmasâ from a supposed âassault â retweeting a photo of himself with the word âWINNINGâ superimposed  and tweeting this Christmas message: âThe Fake News refuses to talk about how Big and how Strong our BASE is . . . nobody is going to beat us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!â
At a Christmas service in Florida that  Trump  attended  rector James Harlan preached about Nelson Mandelaâs advice to âunderstand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.â
Did  Trump  think Harlan was talking about him when he said  âYour words can have as much destructive potential as they do healingâ? More likely  he thought people were talking about him when they sang âO come let us adore him.â

In a Christmas video   Trump  briefly captured the meaning of the day when  he  spoke of renewing âthe bonds of love and goodwill between our citizens.â But even in this message   he  managed to find division.  He  highlighted the belief that the Old Testament prophet Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be the Messiah. Jews dispute that interpretation.
The holiday wasnât yet over when  Trump  tweeted that âtomorrow itâs back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!â The next morning   he  resumed attacks on Obamacare and a âCrooked Hillary pile of garbage.â
