What Would ‘Nelson Mandela’ Have Made Of ‘Donald Trump’?

Click to ENLARGE. Base news stories from ‘Google News‘.

Donald Trump’s claim, this morning, that he was a ‘Modern Day Nelson Mandela‘ infuriated me. That is no surprise. Dear Nelson is in the TOP TIER of my Pantheon of Heroes. And NO, Trump will never make it to that hallowed pantheon to join two other U.S. presidents.

I tried Googling to see IF Trump ever met with Nelson. I couldn’t find anything. It is possible. Trump did get around.

Nelson, of course, is used to dealing with white nationalists — most of white South Africa was that during apartheid. I tried to work out if he would have thought Trump similar to ‘F.W. de Klerk‘. De Klerk was fairly smart — much, much smarter than Trump (but that is not hard to be). I think Nelson had some respect for de Klerk. Yes, there was mutual respect.

Not sure whether Nelson would have found anything to respect in Trump.

Fascinating.

I am sure of one thing though. Trump is NO Mandela. That has to be clear to most.

My Pantheon Of Heroes.

It was “Donald Trump’s” claim this morning that he was a modern day ‘Nelson Mandela‘ that got me thinking about MY PANTHEON — where dear Mandela has always been in the top tier. [I will do a post on the Trump claim later.]

If you follow this blog you must have heard me mention that ‘Winston‘ was always my TOP DOG. Smile.

So this pantheon should explain why it is not easy being I. SMILE.

Do you KNOW the one female in this pantheon — & she was not a TOKEN entry. She actually is the ONLY ONE I have met. Great lady. Deserved to be in this pantheon. Yes, I called her ‘Aunty’ though, alas, we were not related by blood. But, a close, a very close, family friend.

Three (of my many) Goldens have been: ‘Winston’, ‘Monty’ & ‘Ulysses’. That is the ultimate honor I can bestow. Alas we have had a series of female dogs and I haven’t been given a chance to name a dog in decades. SMILE.

Yes, I know that Winston was a racist & maybe even a poofter. But, most men of that era were that. SMILE.

Anywho …

The next tier down includes another lady. British, BUT not THE QUEEN! Not sure whether the Queen makes my list.

Canada: A Very Dubois Claim To Fame — Especially When It Comes In Ahead Of Jamaica, U.S.A. & U.K.

First and foremost I will READILY CONFESS that I have no experience, whatsoever, firsthand or otherwise, of Canadian penises — & I have NO INTENTION, whatsoever (again), of rectifying it. [This also got me thinking, ALAS, that I also don’t think I have ever had any carnal knowledge of any Canadian women. Hhhmmm. That, I found a bit puzzling because, over the years, I have had a lot of dealings (ALAS (again)) with Canada.]

I find this claim very HARD to believe. Doesn’t make sense. COULD be their HUGE immigration population. IF there is to be any logical explanation, that has to be it. Their HUGE non-white immigrant population. IF not for that how can they be that much higher up from the U.S. & U.K. The French connection alone couldn’t cut that (so to speak).

Very confounding.

IF this had to do with FEMALE ANATOMY I would have volunteered to undertake some urgent hands-on research. But, not this.

I just wanted to make sure YOU KNEW about this.

Canada?

NO WAY.
