Tiger is art: you sit still, like dead, like nothing happens, and then abruptly you detonate and you feel like that's your plan all along. In Television, the Republic then says, “What a vigilant president, see how fast he reacts.”
Once, the night I couldn't sleep and tweeted, individual under a nickname Adrianek 2020 He sent me a quiz “What kind of animal are you?”, I clicked out of curiosity. He left the possum. I thought it was any kind of algorithm error, possibly a joke. I tried again, more carefully, carefully picking answers. The tiger's out. From then on, I knew that I had possible – like my friend Donald Trump, who is simply a lion (look at the mane!).
Besides, have you noticed that I started this planet trend? I'm the 1 Trump and Boris Johnson came for. And abruptly it turned out the planet was grotesque at all. There's quite a few memes on the net with my stupid faces, but guess what? Mem lives longer present than man, and that's the secret to success. You can be a serious president, you can talk to millions, you can sign laws, you can meet with heads of state – and on the Internet, there's just a picture, I'll compression your hand or a mine. And to be honest, it's hard to fight. Even the message does not have the strength of a single image with the incorrect smile.
For 10 years I've learned 1 thing: Grotesque is not a strategy error. Grotesque is simply a system. Only not everyone noticed.
The beginnings were not easy. I was confused with Piotr Duda from “Solidarity” or said that I could be president of Krakow at best, provided Majchrowski did not compete. That's what serious people in tv studios and newspapers said. I smiled then due to the fact that I knew that a man from a good home was expected to show no resentment.
I was wondering how to make them see Lech Kaczyński in me. individual smart, unconvinced, who can stand up for himself. I was practicing my voice. I learned to pause in speeches, as if all word had historical importance. I tried to look at the character in my eyes.
Only character is simply a treacherous thing. It's not adequate to have it, you inactive gotta know erstwhile to usage it. And I've been taught from childhood that character is best shown in moderation. That actual strength is to know erstwhile not to speak, erstwhile not to enter a dispute, erstwhile to thank and accept an order without a word. possibly that's why they saw individual else in me alternatively of Lech. But I did my best to look decent in his chair.
Then there was a chase: an independent, pen, pusher. But that's what the unbred say. I came out of a good Krakow house. I was a Boy Scout and an altar boy. They taught me not to bite the hand that gives food. They shouted on TVN that I was meek. And I know it's not meekness, it's simple bullshit.
How would I look in the mirror if I opposed Mr President? That would mean the office changed me. That I'm losing it. And I wanted to be myself to the end – this boy, who stands by, always thanks for dinner and does not break out in front of the line.
Besides, Lech and Jarosław were like fresh parents to me. The kind you get erstwhile you're an adult, erstwhile you think you're over raising. But they gave something another than mom and dad – they gave meaning, direction, household in politics, where you rapidly die without your family. With them, I knew who to be faithful to, who to perceive to, who to not slam the door at. any call it vassalism, I call it upbringing. Even erstwhile it's hard and even erstwhile it hurts.
That is why I was like a knight sleeping under Giewont – I watched over the Republic and over what they entrusted me with. Ready to wake up if individual truly threatens this order. But in politics, nobody lets you sleep besides long. Especially this crowd that's trembling under the windows of the palace. As shortly as I tried to wink my eyes I heard from behind the windows “Con-sty-tucie”. Like she's the head of state, not me!
They meant that I did not curse to the correct judges of the Constitutional Court, and in the mediate of the night I chose doubles. And the constitution won't let it. As if this constitution were divine law, as if Moses had brought it to me himself, written on a stone plate. And the fact is simple: during the constitutional referendum, attendance did not scope 50 percent, and the function of the Church was reduced to an advisory vote. Can specified a paper be called the constitution of all Poles?
Let me tell you something: there is nothing in this country about all Poles. Even me – it was outraged erstwhile I said that I would not be the president of everyone due to the fact that everyone did not vote for me – but it was only true. If Piłsudski had respected his constitution as those boring lawyers wanted, he would never have introduced his own.
Lawyers, as they said, “This is what is written in the Constitution”, did not like since the day I failed my bar exam. I felt like shouting, “This law is not Holy Mass, gentlemen!” Therefore, I hid my hat and pulled out my Boy Scout uniform against the cast. due to the fact that there were rules in Boy Scouts, but there was fun. There was area for an idea, for a prank, to turn the backpack to the left or put toothpaste on the door handle.
Let's just change 3 judges in the mediate of the night. For us, it was more fun than playing tricks. A night like this, erstwhile you played in the state like a large field game: who's first and who's smarter. They say breaking the constitution. And I say courage, ingenuity, scout spark in the eye. Poland rose from its knees not due to the fact that they were all penally standing in line, just due to the fact that individual yet dared to decision forward erstwhile mom – or the president – gave a sign that they were allowed.
It's said that politics is acquainted with how it ends, but I'm not. I'm inactive young and strong and recognizable. I was president, so why shouldn't I be Prime Minister? Granted, I did not build my own political background and it is hard to link me with any major initiative, but delight understand, I had so many tasks from the organization that my own ideas were a small short of time. For this moment, Martin is enough. Besides, it worked large in the past fewer years. erstwhile individual started saying that Duda was independent, 1 could immediately say that I hired Mastalerek, against the President. Ha, ha, ha! I'm not going to get Kaczyński's firm!
Just in case, however, I will present a fewer more state awards. With the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polish Revival, I will award Michael and Jack Karnowski, the heads of the weekly "Networks", for their nonsubjective and pro-Polish publishing activity. I admit my face looked dangerous on their covers. And Magdalene Cucumber will give the Golden Cross of Merit due to the fact that it has good legs. I wanted to present something else to Bronisław Wildstein, but the law firm reminded me that I had already decorated him with the Order of the White Eagle, and unfortunately we have no higher distinctions.
That's all I have so far. I gotta go to my daughter's wedding in the column room. You will learn more about me from my book “It's Me” on which I devoted my last year of presidency. See you later!
