There’s a scene in Woody Allen’s early movie Bananas that reminds me of Trump’s first two weeks in office.

Here, take a look.

Remind you of anybody?

Obviously, the power has gone to Trump’s thick-as-the-walls-of-Troy skull.

Here’s his first social media message of the day via the Economic Times.

“Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State,” he wrote on his Truth social media platform, claiming the move would bring “much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada – AND NO TARIFFS!”

“Um,” as the cynical sitcom kids sarcastically say, “that’s sure to work.”

And they’re right. Canada has cooked up some retaliatory tariffs of their own, tariffs aimed at red states targeting Kentucky Bourbon and Florida oranges.

So if you voted for Trump because you thought groceries were too high, you’re in for some pocketbook disappointment.

Good thing I don’t like avocados on my pizza.

Good thing there are midterm elections.

Good thing there’s the 22nd Amendment.

But until then, strap yourself in, because we’ve all boarded the roller-coaster from Hell.

Speaking of Hell, I’ll give Milton’s Satan the last word:

But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
Th’associates and co-partners of our loss
Live thus astonish on th’oblivious Pool,
And call then not to share with us their part
In this unhappy Mansion, or once more
With rallied arms to try what may be yet
Regain’d in Heav’n, or what more lost in Hell?”

Paradise Lost, Book I, lines 264-70.
