Which Metaphor Best Describes the Trump Era?
It’s already the worst presidency in American history, judged according to actual results. But let’s make the most of it, and explore the ongoing disaster and sense of impending doom with a literary folly, in which we seek to describe what Donald Trump is doing to America in picturesque and amusing terms.
Answer the question with one of the choices below, or make up your own and play along!
The Trump presidency is:
1.
A train full of corn syrup tankers stopping amid fields of GMO grain to untangle a Volkswagen from the cattleguard.
2.
A vast field of snowflakes settling on decrepit factories and smothering the exploitative class trapped within the formerly productive buildings, feeding on their own waste and drinking bottled water laced with designer hallucinogens.
3.
An enraged viper striking the corrupted state in its vitals, clearing the way for a disciplined and orderly takeover by a nation of vipers.
4.
A school of mutated Atlantic salmon surging through the blockade of a quaint New England dam which once powered a woolen mill.
5.
A nation of angry drunks firing sidearms at random passersby.
6.
A clown circus.
7.
A battle between sheep and wolves.
8.
A battle between starved and beaten pit bulls and pampered lap dogs, fought on the lap dogs’ home turf.
9.
An episode of Hell’s Kitchen with nothing but Chinese food in the mystery box.
10.
The Titanic crashing into Trump Tower.
