Watching The Donald Trump Circus

You know, watching the Donald Trump circus in America is pretty amazing. What did a commentator say recently, ‘hire a bunch of clowns and you get a circus,’ It is like someone has gone around and purposely brought together the dumbest bunch of people to run the country. It is the complete reversal of centuries of collective intention to attract the best experts in their fields for this national purpose. Now, you have law breakers serving as Attorney General and DOJ officials. Trade and treasury departments devoid of economists. Health department heads who know nothing about public health.  It is the biggest shit show ever assembled in Washington DC and Trump is never off camera for longer than it takes to take a crap.

Observing The Donald Trump Clown Show

Those of us observing this clown show do not have any respect for the Trump circus. I can, pretty much, guarantee that America has lost more respect internationally in the last 82 days than anyone or thing in recorded history. Putting the dumbest people in charge of the country is, without doubt, the stupidest thing the world has ever seen. It does not matter how much wealth that entity has if it acts like a bumbling ignoramus on steroids. Behaving with no respect for the rule of law takes the Trump regime out of the equation of respectable nations at large. The admix of evil and foolishness represented in the actions of this administration is truly without parallel. I mean, take the tariffs. On again, off again, on again, off again – WTF is going on? Then, the lies from all the idiots working in the White House defending their leader. What president has ever behaved with such wild inconsistency, flip flopping like a deranged old man drugged up to the nines.

Dumb American Economic Own Goal Via Trump The performance of Trump and his minions will go down in history, if we ever get out of this mess. People will study this collective aberration, as they do the witch trials in Salem and the Red Scare McCarthyism of the 1950s. This will be bigger, however, this national own goal from nowhere, especially economically. How to ruin the global economy in less than 90 days could be a thesis for economists and historians of the future. Watching the Donald Trump circus is akin to driving an oil tanker down Wall St to bring down the financial infrastructure of the world’s richest nation. “The true story behind the Trump tariffs will blow your mind. You may or may not know that the key economic advisor behind the tariffs is one Peter Navarro. Donald Trump originally came across Navarro thanks to son in law Jared Kushner. Apparently, he did an Amazon search for books on economics and found one with the catchy title – The Coming China Wars by Peter Navarro. In that book Navarro references repeatedly an economist named Ron Varo to bolster his economic theories about the effectiveness of tariffs. It turns out that Ron Varo does not actually exist and is an anagram of Navarro’s own name. The dishonesty of these right wing extremists around Donald Trump is gobsmacking.” - (https://www.midasword.com.au/the-true-story-behind-the-trump-tariffs/) Crashing America The Ultimate Trump Plan When you destabilise essential institutions, as Trump is doing, the pillars holding everything up come crashing down. Rule of law? Gone and corrupted beyond the pale. The market? Going fast, as investors and nations lose certainty. American financial hegemony? Gone, betrayed by the foolishness of a madman. Trillions of dollars of wealth wiped off in days. Oligarchs and billionaires scratching their heads. Giant successful American corporations like Apple facing financial Armageddon from China tariffs over 140%. Is Trump really just about avenging himself on America for rejecting him in 2020? Is the grand plan one of absolute destructiveness?

Steven King had a thing about the evil nature of dark clowns. Is the Trump circus a wrecking display for the greater world to see? The wrath of one man unleashed in full view of the global media? America is a sick society and the MAGA forces want to lance the boil. Nobody is safe. Dictators are notoriously unpredictable when empowered. America has launched the Donald Trump clown show on an unsuspecting world. ‘It’ may pale into insignificance, Pennywise might be out of a job, along with half a million civil servants. Evil is dumber than dumber. Trump is parading the worst of us live on national TV. Creepy presidential dudes from El Salvador – no saviour there folks. Sleaze and macro corruption are dancing on the graves of war heroes, whilst Donald Trump plays golf. It is a very bad day for decency in the USA. “A judge in the United States has slammed the Trump administration for doing "nothing" to facilitate the return of a man it wrongly deported to El Salvador last month. Kilmar Abrego Garcia has now spent exactly one month in a notorious El Salvador prison, as a legal stand-off over his release and return heats up.” - (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-16/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deportation-el-salvador-court/105181198) “BOSTON (AP) — The federal government says it’s freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University, after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus. The hold on Harvard’s funding marks the seventh time President Donald Trump’s administration has taken the step at one of the nation’s most elite colleges, in an attempt to force compliance with Trump’s political agenda. Six of the seven schools are in the Ivy League.” - (https://apnews.com/article/harvard-trump-administration-federal-cuts-antisemitism-0a1fb70a2c1055bda7c4c5a5c476e18d) Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of America Matters: Pre-apocalyptic Posts & Essays in the Shadow of Trump. ©MidasWord

“Never underestimate an autistic kid with no relationship experience” huh I accidentally summed up the plot of book 7

And also the fate of those people Yarisol lit up like candles in 9 since I doubt she was particularly popular back on elf-world

the first time I read Atrocity Archive I flat out didn’t realise that Bob and Mo were getting together at the end

in my defense I was very young

never underestimate an autistic kid with no relationship experience

I screamed... with laughter 😲🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I love me some good #StevenKing stories. This movie wasn't it, but it's still fun.

I'm glad there were only two people in the theater (and we didn't have to pay since I received some tickets yesterday) myself and, the one who shall not be named, who suggested it... all I can say is, we are even now 🤣🤣🤣

I LOVE this book.

Kudos to Steven King for making an entertaining and sassy book on the art of writing. I love this book so much and I recommend it to anyone wanting to indulge in a delicious inside take.

King, you're the king, and I adore you. I'll cherish this book forever and I might buy it in hardcover soon. Fantastic work, an oldie but a goodie, and forever iconic. Don't plug any magnets in sockets or make a foray unto a jungle of poison ivy, lest you want to become a master of horror. @StevenKing

Ps. More developments on firehouse 13 soon!

Reddie; Rewind.

The fight with Pennywise ended a brutal one. With Eddie barely surviving, Richie felt broken inside as he and Bev sat in the waiting room of Derry Town Hospital. Bev had pieced together Richie's feelings - and had since claimed that she knew from the beginning. Richie dismissed that however, his voice low and husky - and his eyes on the verge of tears. A nurse in a white smock, and holding a clipboard emerged from the hallway, and Richie stood up suddenly - almost like clockwork.

"Mr Tozier, Ms Marsh?" The nurse began, "He's ready for you,"

In the blink of an eye, Richie had rushed to Eddie's hospital room. Bev traipsed slowly, remaining in the doorway of the room and watching the two men quietly. Richie stood over Eddie's bed in silence, as Eddie's vision cleared and he saw Richie standing over him.

"Rich-" Eddie began, before being shortly cut off -  in a whirlwind of words, emotions and sobs.

"Ed's, I'm sorry," Richie said, removing his glasses from his face, "I'm sorry I couldn't help you before this happened to you, and I'm sorry I ever forgot you. You were and are the best thing in my life, Edward Kaspbrak. I love you,"

Eddie sat up suddenly, elbows pressing against the pristine white pillows. Eddie took Richie's head in his hands and pulled him closer, closer - until their lips were touching. They moved with each other, passionately, and longingly. The two were only interrupted by a slight squeal from the doorway.

Bev remained in the doorway, standing stock still - with a hand slapped across her mouth, giggling ferociously, as if she were a teenager again.

"Really, Ringwald?" Richie laughed, peeling away from Eddie's grip and holding Eddie's hands in his. Bev's eyes widened as she ran back down the corridor and out of sight. Richie turned back to Eddie, who had a wide grin plastered across his mouth.

"You know," Eddie said, "For a Trashmouth you aren't that bad of a kisser,"

Eddie laughed softly, and the sound was music to Richie's ears. Oh, how he had longed to hear Eddie's euphoric laughter - to the point where it pained him. Eddie stopped laughing as it turned into a wince and he held is wound tightly. Richie cupped Eddie's head in his hands, and placed another kiss against his lips.

"I love you too, Rich," Eddie said softly. Richie held Eddie's hands tightly, and didn't ever want to let go. Ever again.

Years later, and Richie was still holding on tightly to Eddie. The two had quickly fled the dreaded town of Derry - and Eddie's divorce with Myra was hurriedly finalised. Every waking minute Richie spent with Eddie, he felt himself falling deeper and deeper into love - he barely believed such a state of pure nirvana was possible, yet here he was. Richie had plans for his future, plans which had progressed since the first fight with the entity known as It. He longed for a family, and to start a family with Eddie - and that all came down to one thing, that Richie had sworn to himself he would achieve.

Eddie arrived home from work late one evening, and came home to a slight surprise. The apartment was sparkling clean, every nook and cranny glinted with polish. He felt his insides warm as the sweet smell of candles wafted in from the kitchen. Honeysuckle and cherries. Coffee and chocolate. His mouth watered as he walked further into the house, carefully hanging his coat on the wall - to not effect the pristine state it was in.

The kitchen was, empty? A single post-it-note lay on the table, with a small note written on it - in Richie's familiar, messy writing.

Come find me, Ed's :)

Eddie spun around quickly, to find another note, hanging from the doorknob of the broom cupboard. 

Look inside :)

It said simply. Eddie opened the door gently, which was also empty. He let out a deep sigh, and turned around - hoping to find another post-it-note. Instead, he found Richie on one knee, a small velvet box held open in his hand, with a glistening diamond ring placed inside of it.

"Ed's, Eddie Spaghetti, Edward Kaspbrak," Richie began as Eddie's eyes glistened with tears, "You're my light, my love, my everything. I don't know what I'd do without you, I couldn't live without you,"

Eddie let out a loud, unattractive sniff - which made Richie laugh aloud.

"I want you, for now and forever, Ed's. Will you marry me?" He finished, almost toppling over as his knee began to quiver and numb, letting out a small, "Fuck,"

"Richard Trashmouth Tozier, I will marry you," Eddie finally squealed. Richie let out a loud sigh, standing to his feet and almost falling backwards as Eddie launched himself into his arms. Richie held Eddie close to him, and buried his head in his shoulder, placing butterfly kisses up his shoulder and to his jaw, before placing one upon his lips. Richie slipped the ring around Eddie's thin fingers, and placed a kiss upon his hand.

"I can't wait," Eddie giggled, linking his pinky finger with Richie's, whom of which he held tight. Eddie had been planning his wedding since he was a small child. He wanted blindingly white butterflies, fairy lights and glittering stars. He wanted his soulmate standing at the other end of the aisle, and his friends sitting patiently in the crowd. He wanted his FairyTale kiss, and FairyTale happy ending. And Richie was his FairyTale prince.

Eddie got his FairyTale wedding. He walked down the aisle slowly, as a twinkling wedding march played. He looked to his right, and then to his left. Beverly Marsh and Ben Hanscom sat hand in hand, as Bev used her free hand to wipe away tears. Bill Denbrough and Audra Denbrough set, smiling widely. Stanley Uris and Mike Hanlon sat, eyes glistening slightly as they watched their forever best friends be united, forever. 

Richie and Eddie kissed under the moonlight, as the twinkling stars shone above them. The only butterflies were within Eddie's stomach, and they were flying like crazy. They pressed their heads together, breathing deeply. They had made it.

Soon after, they moved out of the apartment. After many complaints from their friends, they finally concluded the fact that they were moving to New York, and they bid The Losers Club farewell. The house they had invested in together was a home. The tinted glass windows sparkled with colour as the golden sun shone through them. The marble stone counters glinted as the sun reflected off of them. The balcony overlooked the city, which ran for as far as the eye could see. Richie and Eddie Tozier were truly happy, and nothing could stand in between them.

"Daddy!" Delilah giggled endlessly, as Richie blew a raspberry onto her stomach, "It tickles!"

"Exactly the point, my love," Richie replied, placing a kiss upon Delilah's freckles nose. Her golden brown locks flowed over her shoulders as he pyjama onesie sat, buttoned up to her neck loosely.

"Daddy's a bit silly," Eddie said gently, entering the room and taking a seat on the bed where Delilah lay, "It's past your bedtime, baby,"

"Oh no, daddy," Delilah pleaded, softly tugging at Richie's sleeve, "One lullaby please,"

Richie feigned a sigh deeply, before giving Eddie a wide grin - to which Eddie rolled his eyes, despite the wide smile plastered across his face too.

"There's a song, made specifically for pretty little ladies like you," Richie said, poking Delilah's nose gently. She giggled.

"Sing it,"

"Hey there, Delilah

What's it like in New York city?

I'm a thousand miles away

But, girl, tonight you look so pretty

Yes, you do

Times Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear, it's true.

Hey there, Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice, it's my disguise

I'm by your side,

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

Oh, it's what you do to me

What you do to me,"

Richie sang softly, as Delilah was swept off into a deep slumber. He pressed a final kiss to her forehead, and to Eddie's before leaving the room in silence. Eddie kissed Delilah's forehead, too - before turning on her galaxy nightlight and closing the door with a soft chuk.

Eddie's FairyTale dream had come true, and Richie's childhood dream had come true. The two were truly happy, in a constant state of euphoria.

This was to last as they grew old together. As Richie teased Eddie about his sixty-ninth birthday. As they lay in bed together, steadily growing weaker - yet still together. The love lasted until they passed in each other's arms, Delilah sitting by their side still, softly singing Hey There Delilah as they drifted off into an eternal slumber.
