Trump is FINE

Louise Penny is a favorite author of mine, who has been writing a series of crime stories taking place in Canada. (I do hope that the Quebec government is not that corrupt).

An anchor in all the stories is the small village of Three Pines, inhabited by interesting, unique characters. One of then is an old foul mouth, hard drinking woman who is celebrated as an important poet, named Ruth Zardo.

In the second book of the series Zardo published a new book of poems called I'm F.I.N.E:

Fucked up

Insecure

Neurotic (or, as suggested here, narcissist)

Egotistical.


I stared to read a more recent book and as the reference to I'm FINE was made I thought: what a perfect description of the lunatic currently occupying the White House.
