"I said, this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cause we need a little controversy
'Cause it feels so empty without me"
—Eminem, "Without Me"
Some five years ago, on August 1, 2015, on the campaign trail in Iowa, a nine-year-old boy asked Donald Trump if he was Batman. The question, and Trump's answer that he was Batman, prompted at the time, an amusingly whimsical article in The Guardian, by Michael McGrath, conjecturing whether Donald Trump might not, truly, be the real-life Batman.
Despite its obvious lampooning intent, the article makes a compelling case:
As it turns out, Donald Trump has not been any worse (nor any better) than any of his last three predecessors in the oval office—and, unlike them, he didn't start any wars.
At least, he makes me laugh. In a good way! Which is more than I can say about any of his predecessors.
