The Man in the Blue Suit

There are many people whose future would be far less bright if Donald Trump is elected president again. They use every option open to them to prevent his reelection.

My father liked old movies, preferably slapstick comedies. He said that from his experiences as a child in Nazi Germany, he did not have the stomach to watch heavy dramas. One of his favorite films was The Man in the White Suit, starring Alec Guinness, partly since the star of the movie is a chemist as he himself was. Guinness invents a fiber that does not get dirty and cannot get torn. Initially, those in the textile trade were happy for his great discovery. Then they realized that there will be less clothes to wash and less to sell as the new clothes made from his invention will last forever. Those who see their future prospects dimmed because of the invention work to either take the invention away or take care of the character, Sidney Stratton. In the end, the white suit Stratton wears from the new material comes undone, at which time labor union members, managers and dry cleaners are relieved that life will just continue along as before.

Donald Trump is disliked by many people. There are those who do not like the mean tweets (“I hate Taylor Swift!”) or his coarse language or possibly his MAGA policies. But there are many people who do not like the former president........
