| "I, Neo-Con" - the Foreign Policy of Emperor Trump. Like Emperor Claudius, Trump is afraid of being poisoned, so he eats McDonald's food, which is a slow-acting poison. From the new book "Fire and Fury" -- "Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary. He retreated to his own bedroom — the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms. In the first days, he ordered two television screens in addition to the one already there, and a lock on the door, precipitating a brief standoff with the Secret Service, who insisted they have access to the room. He reprimanded the housekeeping staff for picking up his shirt from the floor: “If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor.” Then he imposed a set of new rules: Nobody touch anything, especially not his toothbrush. (He had a longtime fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s — nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade.) Also, he would let housekeeping know when he wanted his sheets done, and he would strip his own bed." Trump likely pisses and shits his bed, the reason why he strips his own sheets. He is afraid of someone poisoning his food or his toothbrush. Trump actually makes Claudius appear rather sane. |
