I’m hypomanic — so, living in Trump World where things are always rocketing around at a million miles an hour, going in every which direction, doesn’t feel that different from my normal reality. The News Media wants to believe that Donald Trump lurches from catastrophe to catastrophe as a way to keep the rest of us off balance.
While Trump does live in a constant state of “making it up as he goes along”, he does it less as a deliberate “strategy” than as the only way he knows how to be. Trump’s neither bright nor curious. If not for having a rich daddy, Trump would be living in the dankest part of Queens, running the local operation for some local crime boss. He’s a criminal by nature — and not a very organized one.
The picture that’s emerging of how exactly the coronavirus and Covid-19 erupted across the globe — but with extra explosiveness in parts of America — paints a distinct and clear picture of how corruption plus coronavirus equals catastrophe. Trump’s refusal to actually use the Defense Protection Act to force big companies to support the efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus is not a mystery. It’s Trump using the pandemic to declare war ON America.
While watching the numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths skyrocket — numbers skyrocketing BECAUSE of Trump’s actions (and inactions) — it’s vital to remember that Trump does not stop being the corrupt TRAITOR we knew him to be BEFORE coronavirus and Covid-19 took our attention away. Trump’s election fraud in 2016, his continuing obstruction of justice — and the inarguable fact of his ongoing treasonous behavior (in multiple ways) continue apace, unabated.
Even now, Trump’s still firing the watch dogs still in place.
Trump’s got a bottom line — of course he does. He can’t ever stop being president. The moment Trump stops being POTUS, he stops being protected by the silly-assed (and bullshit) DoJ policy (a kind of “rule” but in no way a LAW) that says you can’t indict a sitting POTUS. In the Michael Cohen trial, Trump will automatically go from being “Unindicted Co-Conspirator #1″ to INDICTED Co-conspirator #1” — and that will open the floodgates. In a heartbeat, Trump will become the most sued & prosecuted man in America.
Sociopath that Trump is, he still knows that what he did was illegal. That’s why he keeps it secret and swears everyone else to keep that omerta. Trump knows for a fact that if he ever gets prosecuted — under oath — in a real court of law — he’s screwed. For good.
Trump knows he has nothing to stand on defense-wise. He’s got bullshit and bluster while the prosecution has whole mountain ranges of receipts. What scares Trump most? He knows down deep he could lose everything. Literally every property he owns could be seized. I bet that happens too. I, for one, am going to scream and shout my head off until that DOES become a reality.
While, in my heart of hearts, I would love to see pictures of Donald Trump, homeless, hungry and desperate, living on the street in a cardboard box with a yellow (not gold) “T” scrawled on its side, I’m open-minded enough to be happy with pictures of Trump sitting in his federal prison cell — horrified by what happened to him & horrified because this is the rest of his life.
It’s sooooooooo easy to get distracted in the age of Trump. We need to think of it like staying indoors because of coronavirus. Donald Trump is now and always will be a traitor.
There — I’ve done my “Patriotism Push Ups” for the day.
