Nothing could be truer than when Gov. Gary Herbert described the current impeachment as a circus.
Everything Donald Trump touches becomes a circus. He creates most of the cacophony himself and then basks in the attention, negative as well as positive. He doesn't care, as long as he is at the center.
He thinks he can do the acts better than the skilled performers, so he fires some; others quit.
You'd think he'd shine in the roll of clown, but he has no clue what a joke is. When he takes over as magician, spectators start to laugh, thinking that he is now the clown. Then, when they realize he is dead serious, they only wish he would make himself disappear.
At this point, he will proclaim this circus to be the most magnificent circus in the history of the world. Corporate headquarters questions this bravado and his continued employment. He falls back on his one real talent: Snake-oil salesman. He convinces some gullible investors to help him fight off dismissal — for now.
I don't know what Herbert had in mind when he used the circus as an analogy. But I, for one, am not amused by the greatest clown in history doing such damage to our country.
