Being There ?

In the movie, "Being There", starring Peter Sellers. he was about to be mugged on the street and he pulled out his remote control for his television to see if he could change the channel.

Donald Trump, in the courtroom, reminds me of Chauncey Gardner in that scene. He would like to change the channel but his remote does not seem to work? It must be a bad dream. It cannot be part of his reality?

It's a bad trip for the guy that creates his own reality. It's always worked for him before, but for some reason, he seems to have lost his mojo...

Peter Sellers was, in reality, the antithesis of Chauncey Gardner. If he had ever realized that he might have lived longer.

Donald Trump can never be satisfied, and that is certainly leading to his downfall.

Oh well.
