I was watching a documentary just now --about people with the name of Hitler--and one person quoted Voltaire:
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it."
(Letter to Étienne Noël Damilaville, May 16, 1767)
There is something here, I think, for us. Trump is a totally ridiculous figure from his appearance, to his ego, to his tweeting...and on and on.
Perhaps that is the key to neutralizing this narcissistic, pathological liar.
Make fun of him constantly. All the time. Everything he does should be mocked.
I'm in. What about you?

(31,386 posts)If you write letters to editors of newspapers, use that forum to make fun of him.
If you're on facebook, share as many laughable and ridiculous graphics/stories as possible.
The more we can make fun of him publicly, the better.
