For Trump, "Things fall apart..."

[MineralMan]

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

William Butler Yeats' poem should be framed and hanging in the oval office. It almost perfectly describes the Trump Administration. This first stanza certainly reflects the current state of PINO Trump's disintegrating presidency.

Written in 1919, it seems to be prophetic of what we are facing right now.

2. Thanks. I keep hearing that poem in my head

as things have developed since November. It's a frightening prospect, and one we should all be talking about.

Donald J. Trump is just a symptom of the underlying core of political disease that is slowly growing.
