The Greatest Show On Earth ???

My use of the title phrase suggests the Trump presidency is a circus and/or clown show, and it seems that many would agree. Here is some evidence supporting that claim:

(a) Although he denies it, it definitely appears the recent failed coup against Venezuela was hatched somewhere in the Trump bizarro universe:

(b) Not to be outdone by VP Pence, Trump upped the no-mask ante when he visited the mask factory in Arizona:

I'm certain, and a bit worried, that more such shenanigans will occur before the electorate finally tells Trump "YOU'RE FIRED !!!" And I shudder to think what the next president will do while taking charge of the ship of state. It too will become in its own way "the greatest show on earth".
