Impossible

There’s something to be said for having an expansive vocabulary, along with the style and know-how to put it all together, weave a tapestry of well-placed words and phrases that get down to business.

This would come in handy when trying to plum the shallow depths of Donald Trump. It’s too easy to just go off on him and utilize the usual reactive verbiage that makes one sound as ignorant as he is. I feel like this is what I do most of the time.

I wish I could speak in more measured tones when it comes to Trump, but when I read an article in which someone is trying to do that, attempting to be more reasonable and balanced with their language, I find myself wishing they were somehow less disciplined and more colorful. The sweet spot might be a combination of restraint and intensity, yielding cutting commentary that leaves the reader wanting more.

Trump somehow continues to evoke such raw emotion that I sometimes find it difficult to get the words down fast enough, and I end up saying things that could be said in a more concise manner. Oh well… this is our lot when someone like Trump finds ways to hang around and force himself into every conversation. He’s an omnipresent bore and someone who infuriates, because he can’t get enough of himself.

And maybe this is what’s so frustrating– he seems to be able to take any kind of attention and convert it to energy.

Maybe we should just start ignoring him.
