The Emperor Has No Clothes
Digital Cultures ^ | 1837 | Hans Christian Anderson

Posted on 06/28/2024 8:08:24 AM PDT by DallasBiff

The origin of this phrase dates back to the tale of Hans Christian Andersen, titled “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” which was published in 1837, along with The Little Mermaid.

The story tells of an exhibitionistic emperor who is obsessed with clothing and fashion. Two swindlers pull a fraud on him by telling him and his court that they will tailor an outfit that can only be seen by the wise. This results in nobody admitting that the emperor is, in fact, naked, up to the very end of the story, when a boy exclaims that “The Emperor Has No Clothes.”

Due to the large influence of Andersen’s tales, the story became a widely known fable, and this impact has embedded it into of European culture.

The current president of the beleaguered USA has no brains. Further, he has an obnoxious personality and is a chronic liar and a known pedophile.

During my lifetime I’ve tried hard not to hate anyone, and I really don’t hate Junkyard Joe, I despise him!

This covers a lot of lousy and evil presidents, but this one is the worst as he has worked overtime to destroy our nation and our lives.

A pox on ALL Democraps and ALL RINOs!

It was very obvious Biden had no clothes when he was elected and only the media and the cabal behind Biden refused to admit it.

Joe was a typical politican. It was all about the timing for him. So he got lucky.

But yeah, they're not able to cover up for him any longer. Drugs are no longer working.

CNN moderators realized that Joe is too far gone so they were nothing they could do.
