SURREALISM

  

sur·re·al·ism: a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images.

 

“What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real.” ― André Breton

 

"Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers," Trump told aides after he scrapped a visit to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 to honor the dead service members, according to The Atlantic which cited four people with first-hand knowledge of the discussion. Trump, on the same trip, later referred to the more than 1,800 Marines who lost their lives in the Battle of Belleau Wood in France as "suckers" for getting killed, the magazine reported.

Successfully rolling out a coronavirus vaccine by Nov. 1 will rely on clinical trials conducted at unprecedented speed, coupled with the public release of research that shows it is both safe and effective, experts say. Doctors will insist on seeing the full data and will demand that the information come from those in the scientific community.

For Donald Trump, there is no conscious mind, no sense of conscience behavior, and no correlation between good or bad, right or wrong. For some, so sad and dangerously so, Trump’s complete lack of wherewithal to commit to reality is a bright shiny object, bejeweled and behest with promises that nothing matters so, do at your leisure anything your wish, because it will be to your satisfaction, any results, and to the distress of those who NEVER KNOW AS WELL AS YOU AND YOUR LEADER TRUMP WHAT IS REALLY GOOD.  It is SURREAL, if you honestly contemplate the entire concept, and not in a good way at all!
