Barbarians I

The latest joke from the Trump tweet stable, in response to yesterday’s terror attacks, which he described as “Islamic terrorists regularly slaughter Christians in their communities” is that “The civilized world must change thinking!”

Whereas I fully agree with Trump that we must change our thinking, I find the idea that Trump evidently thinks of himself and his lot as the civilised world rather curious. Barbarians, I would suggest, would be a more accurate description. And if anyone needs a reminder, all you need to do is look up one of the many Trump election campaign rallies.
