Four years ago, Moh sent me an email from Myanmar on election night. She asked me about what was happening in America. She couldn’t believe that Trump would become the president.

There were others that wondered also like the 10,000,000 Americans who contracted the COVID-19. Why didn’t Trump act before COVID-19 got out of hand? However, acting assumes he had a plan, which he doesn’t have. Tragically, a quarter million Americans aren’t alive to due Trump not addressing the coronavirus.

Fortunately, America had two elections last week. One was in the real world and the other in Trump’s alternate reality. It the real world, Trump lost by five million votes. In his other fantasy world, he won an overwhelming victory.

The Saturday Night Live comedic video isn’t a joke. When Pennsylvania’s election results confirmed that Trump lost the election numerically and in the number for the electoral votes, tens of thousands throughout America went out into the streets to celebrate. They were jubilant that our Warlock-in-Chief was dead…presidentially.

My son lives in Chicago and emailed this note.

This photo was attached to the email.

I did a year of post-graduate studies at the U. Edinburgh at New College and wanted to learn the bagpipes. However, I can’t read music. Nonetheless, I wonder what this bagpipe aficionado was playing as he celebrated a new day for America. I pondered for a few moments and came up with several possible musical masterpieces.

The first guess was that he was playing Amazing Grace. It was written by John Newton who started out as a British naval captain who captained ships that transported slaves to America. However, one day, he saw the light and became an abolitionist. This video is Glen Campbell singing and playing the bagpipes to Amazing Grace.

Newton realized that he made a mistake. Slavery and racism are ethically wrong. Essentially, he reformed his mindset. He admitted that he was wrong, and, for the rest of his life, he fought against slavery.

Trump can’t admit any his mistakes. When asked by a reporter what he would do differently now with the coronavirus. He said tersely, “Nothing.” Nonetheless, the death rate among the populations of blacks and Hispanics suffer more than whites due to COVID-19 because of preexistent medical problems

The Chicago piper might have been playing the tune, The Loch Ness Monster.

Trump is always coming up various conspiracy theories. Therefore, that mindset is another of Trump’s notions that some monster that is coming to get you. Hence, that tune fits Trump’s fishy mindset.

Another possible song could have been Beating the Retreat at Edinburgh.

For those that aren’t Scottish, beating a retreat occurs when a piper and drummers beat a retreat at the ending of an important occurrence like a banquet or some ceremonial event at a castle or some stately residence in Scotland. Further back historically, it originated centuries ago. Essentially, a retreat was played notifying soldiers during a battle that they could return to their barracks and rest for the battle next day. In Trump’s case, he will retreat to his bunker and quiver in place.

Trump, in business, in life, and in politics, is a failure. He will act for a couple of weeks as if he was a macho man. Nonetheless, someone needs to help him pack up and more out of the White House.
