Frank's Musings

The howling laughter of media personalities about Trump’s latest scam--his sale of photo-shopped pictures of him on “NFT trading cards”--is embarrassing to watch.  The commentators seem to be engaging in schadenfreude like children making fun of someone with autism,

The truth in their gloating is that the cards display both Trump’s cluelessness and his total disdain of the intelligence of any of his supporters who would buy those patently ridiculous electronic mementos.  Moreover, continued gloating may only anger the voters in Trump’s corner as well as permit him to keep his name in the news. 

The latter result is the only real objective he has for his continued antiestablishmentarian antics.  Trump has given critical thinkers, the left-leaning press and repentant Republicans a golden opportunity to undertake an educational campaign that could rescue the reasonable members of the Republican party from having sacrificed their good statesmanship in the pursuit of successful electoral careers.
