Everyone Loves Donald

 

No, not the lying, felonious, orange man-baby.

Although it seems a lot of people do love him.

Millions of people in fact.

But I'm talking about Donald Osborne...
...the knowledgeable and dapper vehicle appraiser and regular contributor to Jay Leno's Garage.

I was watching their latest output on YouTube yesterday.  They are clearly great mates and the way he takes Jay's gentle mockery is a pleasure to watch - especially about the concept of their regular segment, "Assess and Caress" in which the idea is for Jay to decide which of three vehicles chosen by Donald has gained most value in the previous 5 years.

Now, I may be wrong, but I suspect that Messrs. Leno & Osborne will not be fans of Donald Trump - unlike the stars of the other American YouTube show I watched yesterday - an episode of Coffee Walk where we were treated to a look around Sean Pettiford's vehicle collection.  Although Trump would call if Covfefe Walk.

What do those millions of fans see in Trump?  He is creepy, he cannot string together a coherent answer to any normal question, he makes up lies and statistics on the spot, he managed to bankrupt casinos.

I see no redeeming credentials whatsoever.

You could argue that it's none of my business being a Brit but happens with America affects the whole World.  There is already talk of him doing a Putin and Xi to change the rules to stay in power longer.  And as Putin has him by the short-and-curlies, it doesn't bode well for Ukraine - and therefore the rest of Europe and NATO.

Meat Loaf was a fan - and I believe that cost him his life as he fell for the Anti-Vaxxer nonsense that Trump liked to promote.

So how can intelligent, articulate, hard-working people such as Dennis & Sean be voting for Trump?

This picture Sean posted on Facebook of the keys his wife had in her pocket imply that he is of the Trump persuasion:

They can't be falling for the Fox News tripe - they're too busy to watch it.

Maybe they are simply life-long Republicans - or maybe they see something in him that very few people outside of the States can see.

I hope they are right - evidence from 2016 to 2020 does not look promising but democracy has declared a winner so we need to accept it and work with it.

Maybe they didn't see a better candidate, over to Jonathan Pie...
