I’ve been seriously thinking a lot of countries need an official jester. An appointed official who gets to hang with the president/premier/prime minister and has full absolute security clearance. Not to disclose anything, but to know all of it, and is allowed speak publicly on any public forum or topic. Always require them to be appointed by the opposition.
Agreed. Why should only US have one?
What happens when the jester and the president are the same person?
President Pagliacci
If they’re appointed by the opposition then it’d have to be a president with MPD.
US, 2016: hold my beer (but he’s DEFINITELY gonna disclose shit)
US, 2024, with total memory loss of years between 2016-2020: why are you holding my beer
“Heavy is the head that wears the cockscomb” just doesnt have the same ring to it
I am the Jester, my job’s to entertain And it seems that, soon enough, it too will be my job to reign
