Too many things have happened in the past few weeks, between Sean Spicer being fired, Chief of Staff Reince Pribus being fired, Anthony Scaramucci the Tactless being hired and fired before his term as Director of Communications even officially began, all the new developments incriminating the Entropy even further in this fucking insane scandal on top of the new report that he helped manufacture the Seth Rich (an employee at the DNC who was killed in a botched robbery) conspiracy the far right have been pushing relentlessly and his new near three week vacation in a long line of many, MANY super expensive vacations. I couldn't even get around to drafting one journal about any single one of these subjects without the news exploding again. I'm not getting paid to write about this shit, and I have to work on Babysitting Cream some more, so I'll choose one subject to write about almost at random.
So let's talk about the Entropy's latest comments that have pissed off the internet. He has allegedly said the White House is a dump to a bunch of his golfing buddies.
That's it. The Entropy talked shit about one of the most storied living artifacts in our country's almost 300 year old history. Compared to the other things that the Entropy has done in the past year, this is barely a 2 out of 10, but it perfectly characterizes everything wrong with the Entropy and why he is unsuited to run the country.
It's easy to forget that the White House is indeed a house. Presidents move into the White House and actually live there for the next four to eight years. It is no hovel; it makes most mansions look pauperis by comparison, with its over one hundred rooms, couple dozen bathrooms, and elevators, not to mention all of the decor of paintings and sculptures of past Presidents and other artwork. When I call it a living artifact, I mean its history continues to be written. Obama once said it felt very old and called it "a very nice prison" recently, but he also venerated the kind of history it bore witness to over the decades. A hundred years after we're all dead, it will continue to be written. It is something that encompasses our history and country as a whole.
And the Entropy shat all over it.
Every President, every generation, contributes to the history. The President is more or less the combination of a leader and a custodian. They are little more than part of the bigger picture, relevant in their own ways but reverent according to their deeds, not by the title itself. When their time comes, they pass off the torch to a successor after they have made their contributions to the country's developments. As a secular country, as a country where free speech is the first and foremost Constitutional right, we hold nothing sacred or divine. The White House is ultimately just a large, very expensive office-mansion, but one we hold dear and sacred because of its iconography and importance in our country's history and identity. Its inner decor, while more opulent than anything we'll ever see in our lifetimes, is conservative and humble, showcasing prominent figures of our history. It is an ancient and venerable place that is greater than any of us, and a place that the succession of Presidents contribute to.
And this is what the Entropy, in a hundred trillion cycles of this universe worth of time will never understand.
To the Entropy, the only thing in this universe that is sacred or reverent is himself. Everything serves only to appease him and showcase the wealth he claims to have in the most ostentatious way. The only value he sees is purely intrinsic and monetary. The White House was not created or decorated to flaunt the wealth of its residents or the country. It's expensively and opulently decorated, but not in such a way that it screams at you. There are no solid gold floors or toilets like the castles of Saudi oil kings or the Entropy's own airline that never turned a profit.
Now we as a country are no strangers to wealthy Presidents. The Founding Fathers were mostly rich white men who owned huge swaths of land, but they were also educated and intelligent, and while the Presidents have always lived in some sort of Presidential mansion, they didn't seek to decorate it with disgusting displays of wealth. The Entropy was born as privileged as privileged will ever be, who inherited several hundred million dollars after his dad bailed him out of multiple bankruptcies and astounding amounts of credit card debt, who attacked his own family members and threatened the life of an infant for ten million more, and he has spent more than every dime trying to flaunt the wealth and his ego as loudly as possible, to the point that he has destroyed over 20 different businesses and bankrupted himself over six times. Compared to that, the White House is indeed a dump, because it doesn't make him feel like a king, it's not designed to do that, and it's not supposed to do that.
He wants to replace all that history that encompasses the White House with his own visage, to turn it into a monument to his own vanity. He does not believe in the line of succession or the custodian duties of the executive office; how many times now has he demanded everyone's loyalty, who obsesses over crowd sizes and makes false, bombastic claims that other world leaders and the sycophants around him call him the greatest politician in human history?
A hundred years after he's dead, the White House will continue to persist, and if we are lucky, he will be little more than a blighted footnote, nothing more than a reminder of how close we came to losing everything to one man's megalomania.
