Lonelyhearts Finds a Friend
Five have I slain today instead of him.
A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!
Richard III, Act 5, Scene 4
After brutalizing our allies with cheery bonhomie,
he stands before a phalanx of American and North Korean flags,
Is greeted with “Good to meet you, Mr. President!”
and sweet-talked, “May I check out your Cadillac, the Beast?”
In return, Lonelyhearts makes gushing assertions of love,
at their lavish royal wedding,
presents Kim with a video of their happy life together
and gives away the kingdom.
Love the comparison with Richard III. The last line cuts deep into the problem with this fake who is only concerned with the theatrics he can pull out of his corrupt
satchel of bad deeds.
You and Bruce just said it all!!!
Theatrics sums it up. √√
