Little Lindsey


I got a big bang out of Donald Trump's recent comments about the relationship – some sort of pseudo love affair, to hear the idiot Trump's accusation – between Mueller and Comey. Hell, at different points in time, Trump has been equally smitten with each of them. But what really makes the accusation interesting is that it's been voiced by a guy with his own dubious sexual history, both distant and recent.

Currently – and this is no big secret – there is clearly something special between our current President and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, whose infatuation with Trump goes beyond professional admiration or mere party loyalty; it's obviously a deep-seated, very personal love.

Think about it: Here's Graham, the life-long bachelor without a proclaimed love in the world. He's always longed for someone to look up to in politics, but in his nearly three decades in public office, has really never had anyone. George W. Bush, the only Republican president during his time before Trump? Give me a break. John McCain? Well, they served as senators together, but were clearly cut from different cloth. McCain was the outspoken, self-proclaimed maverick, whereas Graham, heretofore, was the soft-spoken, quiet one. However, it seems that Trump has brought out the bitch in Little Lindsey, and not a moment too soon; Trump needs someone to back him up. And who better than his doe-eyed golf partner?

Even if poor, innocent Lindsey didn't know about Trump's past life of roaming the underbelly of New York city in the late '70s and early '80s with one of the most notorious closet queens ever, it doesn't matter now. Trump has given Graham something he never had – someone to love.

You get the idea.

Before Lindsey, Trump had Roy Cohn, the vicious attorney who railed against homosexuals then proceeded to die of AIDS in the early days of the epidemic. And it WASN'T because Cohn was an intravenous drug user. Cohn claimed at the time that liver cancer was taking him, but that was a lie.

By now, two-plus years into the Trump presidency, it's been discussed to death how Cohn was Trump's business/political mentor. But given the personal nature of the two men – hell, each is the only friend the other ever had – theirs was surely more than a business relationship, right?

In the immediate wake of Trump's association with Cohn all those years ago, with all of those voices a'waggin', Trump needed to do SOMETHING to protect what image he had and decided to go straight for the Trophy Wife. And, of course, has continued this habit for longer than any of the three women would like to remember, despite the rumor that has been floating around New York City for decades. Thankfully for Trump (and Cohn, who never really did come out of the closet, as it were), they were in a place – New York City – where people just really don't care about such things.

But throughout Red-state America, they do. And considering the conservative notions that pervade this nation of ours, one has to wonder how Trump's core constituents would feel if they knew what he REALLY likes to do when the lights go out.

Stormy Daniels is the least of it.
