WEEK 060 / 073 — The War With No Referee
AUGUST 2, 2016. THE WOUND OF JULY STILL BLEEDS. THE POLLS SAG. THE PARTY MURMURS. HE SWINGS HARDER.
“President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!”
“Our incompetent Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was the one who started talks to give 400 million dollars, in cash, to Iran. Scandal!”
THEN THE ENEMY STUMBLES — AND HANDS HIM A BLADE.
“Crooked Hillary said loudly, and for the world to see, that she ""SHORT CIRCUITED"" when answering a question on her e-mails. Very dangerous!”
“I am not just running against Crooked Hillary Clinton, I am running against the very dishonest and totally biased media - but I will win!”

He answers the only way he knows — striking upward at the departing king, entering $400 million in cash to Iran into the ledger of the old order's crimes, and seizing the general's own words when she confesses she "short circuited." Then he turns to face the faceless chorus and names them the second enemy.
