“Hamlet” and “The Trump Shit Show” are basically the same melodrama, just with different costumes and slightly different hairdos. And speaking of hair , let’s dive into betrayal after betrayal !
In “Hamlet,” betrayal is like a family reunion , everyone’s got a knife behind their back ! Hamlet’s uncle Claudius kills his father and then marries his mother. Classic Shakespearean family dysfunction! But in the “Trump Shit Show,” it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet of backstabbing !
Let’s talk about the cabinet appointments. Just like Hamlet appoints people to help him with his revenge plot, Trump appointed a cast of characters that could make even the Bard raise an eyebrow. You’ve got JFK Jnr , who, let's face it, might have been better suited for a game of “Operation” than running Health Development. Then there’s Roger Stone ! This guy has more plot twists than a season finale of a soap opera. He’s like the ghost of political scandals past , just when you think he’s gone, he pops up again !
And let’s not forget about Charlie Kirk, who’s trying to turn college campuses into mega-supporters. It’s like Hamlet trying to convince the kingdom to join Team “Revenge” while everyone’s just trying to get through finals week !
Then there’s Elon Musk, who must have taken notes from Hamlet on how to make dramatic entrances and exits. One minute he’s launching rockets, the next he’s stirring up chaos on Twitter. Betrayal ? Please ! He could write a whole new act titled “To Tweet or Not to Tweet - That is the Question !”
So, to sum it all up: whether you’re dealing with Hamlet’s tragic family drama or the ever-evolving cast of “The Trump Shit Show,” one thing is crystal clear , betrayal is the name of the game. And remember, all Americans, in this political theater, the only thing more unpredictable than the plot twists is who’s going to stab whom in the back next !
Thanks and it is a complete mess. This is what the majority of American swing state voters wanted or because the Democrats didn't do a good job reaching out to voters.
Hello, everyone! Gather ‘round as we dive into the curious case of an attorney from South Africa, who, after 35 years of legal battles, decided to swap the courtroom for the writer's desk. Yes, it’s me, Thomas Potgieter! Now, you might be wondering what on earth possessed a 65-year-old attorney to start writing about the “Trump Shit Show.” Well, let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride since 2015—like watching a circus perform while the tent is on fire!
Now, when I first started watching American politics, I thought, “This can’t be real!” I mean, it’s like someone took Shakespeare, added a dash of reality TV, and sprinkled in a few Twitter rants. Who knew that the political landscape could resemble a soap opera where everyone is yelling, “You’re fired!” while dramatically pointing fingers?
And here I am, 18 months into this writing adventure, feeling about as confident as a cat at a dog show. But let’s be real—who needs confidence when you have a keyboard and an opinion? I’m just a retired attorney trying to express my thoughts without being cross-examined!
Now, you might ask, “Thomas, what platform should you use?” Well, if I knew that, I’d be writing bestsellers instead of rambling on to anyone who’ll listen! Maybe I’ll start a blog called “Legally Speaking: The South African Perspective on American Absurdity” or something equally pretentious. You know, a space where I can rant about the latest political antics while sipping on a cup of rooibos tea—because nothing says “serious writer” like a good cuppa!
So here’s where I need your help, dear audience. I don’t want payment; I just want to express my opinion! Help me spread my wings and share my thoughts on this mad world. Whether it’s through a blog, social media, or even a good old-fashioned letter to the editor—let’s find a way for this old attorney to share his views without being judged by a jury of his peers!
In conclusion, if a retired lawyer can dive into the comedic chaos of American politics and come out with a quill in hand, then surely anyone can! So, let’s embrace this journey together—because in the end, we’re all just trying to find our voice in this wonderfully ridiculous world.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the issue. Trump is going to take office in a few weeks and I suppose some Americans may be looking into Canada as a place to relocate. As a friendly reminder, a right-wing government is likely to be elected into office in this year's upcoming Canadian general election.

Thanks and it is a complete mess. This is what the majority of American swing state voters wanted or because the Democrats didn't do a good job reaching out to voters.
