A Forest of Gullibles

 The Tale of Trump as a Tree Chopper

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe;

for the axe was clever and convinced the trees

that because his handle was made of wood

he was one of them.

Turkish Proverb

The story of eons ago, and, evidently, it still works. Trump has been using it on his followers for years and it never seems to fail him. Not only does it work on his "forest of block heads," but it also helps if the wood chopper is a block head, too!

We need to think back to how we got into this mess with him. It seemed like all of his "base" of supporters dropped out of the sky one day and began worshiping at his feet. Even those who held elected offices fell prostrate before him and they haven't stood up for America since! 

One day, the "trees" will realize that the axeman's handle isn't the only thing made of wood. They'll find out that his head was made of a "lower quality Number 2 Common" two-by-four.

And that's the tale from the "nutty" pine lumber mill!
