On Trump and a Scene from “Blazing Saddles”

Congressional Republicans, with substantial assistance from the Democrats, managed to get a housing bill through the system. They were planning to hold a ceremony to publicize their accomplishment. But Trump announced he wouldn’t sign the bill until the GOP somehow muscles his precious SAVE legislation through the system, which simply isn’t going to happen. The ceremony had to be cancelled.

This is another instance in which Trump’s actions remind me of the scene in “Blazing Saddles” where the black sheriff fends off the white lynch mob by threatening to shoot himself. Does the man have any sense of reality? You have to wonder.
