I FOUND the debates between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump unedifying during the US election campaign.
Donald’s rants were countered by the arch statuesque rictus grin of Hillary Clinton promising to put the world to rights.
Was this the same Clinton who advocated nuking Iran and watching a video of Osama being whacked by SEALS?
I began to suspect that the fixed grin was not the real Hillary but if we disown the fact that she was not an android from Westworld, I can only conclude from my pharmacy says that she was the victim of strychnine poisoning.
There the victim suffers an agonising death after respiratory failure while the mouth arches up in a victor’s grin known as the ‘sardonic smile’.
Perhaps Donald’s aids spiked her her coffee with mix vomica!
