Traitor.

Donald J. Trump I @reaDonald Trump
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is SAVAGE

This is a work of photographic genius that deserves to go down in the annals of history. I'm an art historian with a PhD (yes, really) so it's one thing I do know something about.
Let's start with the framing. Dan Winters has positioned his subject lower than the lens. At a basic level it's diminishing the man... no small thing for someone so obsessed with his height.
But it's bigger than that. think about all the portraits you know of Great Men (they are almost always Great
Men)
Statues are set on plinths. Above eye level. So you look up at them.
Or famous images like Washington Crossing the Delaware. Or Napoleon Crossing the Alps. We look up at the figures at the centre of the composition. They're the embodiment of leadership. We are inspired to believe. To follow.
Now, look at the photo. We are looking down at the subject. His mouth gapes. He's as lost and directionless as a toddler in a crowd who can't find his mum.
Or, more aptly, a patient in a dementia ward

Now, look again.
It's the eyes that strike you the most.
That's because the photographer has chosen a very shallow depth of field, which means the pinprick focus on the eyes casts the rest of the subject in a hazy wash. Even the American flag pin on his lapel. His one
"mission"... leading the nation... is, symbolically, completely unfocused.
None of this is an accident. Winters made conscious choices when he framed this portrait and chose the settings on his camera.
And the colour saturation...
None of the garish, highly saturated red, white, and blue. Or the glitter of gold. We're looking at a president who has just wandered out of a crypt.
He is a spectre wrapped in parchment-thin, ashen skin with a waft of gossamer-thread hair atop a papery scalp. He's a phantasm with sawdust in his veins and a handful of dust where a heart should be.
But, back on those eyes. If the eyes are, indeed, the windows to the soul, then this man has none...
Trump is wandering through a misty haze. Where is he, even? Who the fuck can tell? He certainly can't.
There's no colour. No sunlight. No life. Just pinpricks of light reflected back from the soulless, senseless, rheumy, red-rimmed eyes beneath hooded and desiccated lids.
They say "I am lost. I am confused. I am not long for this world."

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States
