internetwriter:Donald Trump and the Underpants GnomesWhat have they got in common ? Well, apart from all being absurd and comical TV characters, more than you might think.The Underpants Gnomes, you may recall, were characters in the South Park TV cartoon series. They came stealthily at night when everyone was asleep to steal underpants. Their larceny might have continued undetected for years were it not for Tweek Tweak, an insomniac coffee addict. Whenever he told his class-mates about the gnomes they thought he was hallucinating on too much caffeine. Eventually, though, an alarming absence of underpants at South Park convinced the others of the gnomes existence. What on earth am I burbling on about ? Well it’s the Underpants Gnomes cunning plan, you see. The reason they stole the underpants. Apparently it was a sure-fire way to make lots of money and get very rich which went as follows :- Phase 1: Steal Underpants. Phase 2: ?????? Phase 3: Huge ProfitsThe problem, as you may have spotted, was that the gnomes had never worked out Phase 2 of their cunning plan (ie how to actually make the plan work) and so they never made any money.Which brings me (if you were wondering where I was going with this) to Donald Trumps cunning plan to ‘Make America Great Again’. This seems to involve :-Phase 1: Get elected PresidentPhase 2: ??????Phase 3: America is great again.You see the similarity ? Sadly Mr Trump seems to be as clueless about the practicalities of how to achieve his goal as the Underpants Gnomes were, and consequently to have as little prospect of success. It appears that being improbable TV characters has not fitted either Mr Trump or the Underpants Gnomes for success in anything requiring much careful thought. I suppose the upside of this is that, should Mr Trump spontaneously combust or withdraw from the election over artistic differences with his wig then his followers have a ready made substitute. Republicans could easily switch to the Underpants Gnomes to lead them to a glorious victory if they wanted. They would be equally as credible as Mr Trump. Just a suggestion, of course, but it’s best to be prepared. . Internet Writer -- source link
