The Unimaginable President: The Horror, the Horror (opens the original)
Read excerpt
( Tom Engelhardt Substack ) – I was out taking my afternoon walk in mid-September, wearing only khakis, a shirt, and an undershirt, and instead of feeling chilly, I was working up a distinct sweat and being passed regularly by younger people in shorts and t-shirts. Yes, it was a mid-July-style day in the early fall and while that might have been possible anytime in my life, it certainly was anything but typical. I’m already 82 years old, which means my time on this planet of ours is limited. Sti
All Trump's Apprentices in Planetary Apocalypse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
( Tom Engelhardt Substack ) – Give him full credit. It’s so strange. I just can’t imagine what to write about these days that doesn’t have the disaster of him — and you know just whom I mean — in it. And that truly depresses me, though I’m a little cheered that, were his team to win in November, I would be one of millions of Americans owed $5,000. (Of course, don’t for a second expect that check to ever arrive). Once upon a time, I wrote about so many different things. If you don’t believe me, j
The Strait (Jacket) of Trump (opens the original)
Read excerpt
( Tom Engelhardt Substack ) – Yes, our world is often predictable enough, or at least it was once upon a time. But give Donald Trump credit. He’s only predictable in one way — in his remarkable unpredictability. In almost every imaginable sense, in fact, he was distinctly unimaginable (until, of course, he happened). And since entering the White House in January 2017, he’s been the most distinctly unpredictable, unpreventable, unprecedented, and, of course, unpresidential president in the histor
What I would have to say to Donald Trump (Not that he Asked) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
( Tom Engelhardt Substack ) – Let me imagine that, at some future moment, I might be ushered into the presence of President Donald J. Trump and the question would then be: What in the world would I have to say to him? Keep in mind that this would be after he had renamed the former Lake America (once, of course, Lake Ontario) Lake Trump, the former Gulf of America (once, of course, the Gulf of Mexico) the Gulf of Trump, and the former Ocean America (once the Atlantic Ocean) Ocean Trump. (Okay, Oc
Hot, Hotter, Hottest: The President from (Literally) Hell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
( Tom Engelhardt Substack ) – Honestly, I don’t think we really get it yet. Let’s face it. It’s going to be hot, hot, hot. Or do I mean hotter, hotter, hotter, or even hottest, hottest, hottest, or someday, for all we know, beyond any words we might now have to describe it. Though it seldom seems that way in the daily news, we’re talking about a genuinely apocalyptic possibility. Give us human beings full credit. Somehow, we’ve managed to come up with not one but two distinctly apocalyptic ways
