“I’m insane”

“why is no one stopping me?”

When I look at the USA it’s like “The Emperor’s New Clothes” jumped out of the tale right into reality.

The tale concerns an emperor who has an obsession with fancy new clothes, and spends lavishly on them at the expense of state matters. One day, two conmen visit the emperor’s capital. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are either incompetent or stupid. The gullible emperor hires them, and they set up looms and pretend to go to work. A succession of officials, starting with the emperor’s wise and competent minister, and then ending with the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.

Finally, the “weavers” report that the emperor’s suit is finished. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The entire town then realizes the truth of the observation and repeats the child’s cry. The emperor awkwardly continues with the procession, unwilling to admit that he has been had.

Every time I see some US TV-snippets on YouTube where they discuss some stupid thing the orange criminal has said, they pretend that it makes sense in a conventional way. That there is a great plan in his sick mind. They are the modern townsfolk that uncomfortably goes along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid. Crazy stuff.
