King Tut Wealth

I got nothing against Donald Trump, personally.

I do find the entire fabric of his existence repellant. His phony smile. His lamp-bronzed face. The necktie he wears extra long to make him look thinner. Especially his wealth-centered life…

I got nothing against Wealth. I like money. I like making it. If I spent my time SELLING something instead of BLOGGING I’d have more of it. I’m a pretty good salesman. I believe in free enterprise.

What I’m talking about here with Trump is King Tut Wealth. This is a kind of Wealth way beyond Conspicuous Consumption. The latter means you like buying stuff and showing off all your cool stuff to your friends. This makes you at worst a Boob. At best you’re a shopaholic. You just can’t help buying stuff at every opportunity and if you’re a woman it’s not even a problem.

King Tut’s Tomb

1922 was the year they discovered King Tut’s tomb. It wasn’t a particularly lavish tomb for it’s day. But it was discovered untouched after more than three thousand years. That means it was chock full of priceless shit.

6000 items.

Items a shopaholic would drool over.

King Tut was a minor king. Imagine how much more shit a Big Shot Pharoah like Khufu might’ve left behind if the grave robbers hadn’t cleaned him out. But that’s the thing. All this priceless shit. Why seal it up in a tomb? It makes no sense.

Unless…It wasn’t meant to be left behind. That’s right. It was packed in there like some celestial moving van. Meant to accompany the Pharaoh into the hereafter….it was his shit and he was keeping it!

Trump’s kind of on the same path.

Trump’s Tomb

Trump plans to take a lot of his shit with him to the hereafter.

This is why he kept the classified documents. They’re a form of wealth. He means to take them with him.. ….pack them into his tomb. And why not? I figure he can.

So, okay. He had a lot of documents he planned to take with him. But it didn’t work out. The Evil Deep State F.B.I. agents seized those documents.

So what will he take with him?

A tomb has limited space.

Wait a minute.

The First Emperor Of China

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife. The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE,^[1] were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi’an, Shaanxi, China. The figures vary in height according to their roles, the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum.^[2] Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians.

Leave it to the Chinese to upstage King Tut.

This big shot emperor (he built the Great Wall) constructed a tomb larger than a football field.

You can bet your ass Trump will have a Tomb even larger than the one the Chinese Emperor built. That’s because he’s a builder. He’ll tell you so.

He’s even kind of like Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

So sad!

Trump’s Great Wall didn’t get built all the way.

Wait a minute. Fuck no. He claims he built hundreds and hundreds of miles of this wall.

Maybe he did.

I’m not going to argue with the guy.

Arguing with Trump is like…it’s just another brick in the wall.

It’s pointless.

A Selection Of Priceless Items Found In Trump’s Tomb

I’m trying to come to my senses here.

Why did I include this blog post in my Cliff Notes For Hard Times file?

Now I remember. I watched part of Trumps first official 2024 presidential campaign speech. He talked about how grim American life has become. Blood and carnage everywhere. And it’s getting worse. You can blame this carnage on Old Joe, our current president.

Hard times are real good for Trump’s political future. He was talking Hard Times last time around, remember?

I figure things will get a hell of a lot worse if this gargantuan Boob manages to get elected President in 2024.

Here’s to Hard Times, Folks!
