The words. “Bizarre,” “Delusional,” “Distorted” and “Surreal” attained the epitome of their meaning this morning, coincident with the media-reported statement of President-Elect Trump that “The Biden transition was difficult.” Upon hearing the same, we were immediately transported to the foggy land of discombobulation. We will try especially hard to explain, civilly and calmly.
Viewers of the mundane and uneventful constitutional proceeding in which Vice-President Kamila Harris, dutifully and appropriately, acknowledged the electoral victory of Donald J. Trump and enunciated the hand-over of the Presidency to him, were undoubtedly impressed with the dignified sanctity of the official constitutional proceeding. There is little doubt that they were at least, for the moment, reassured about its demonstration of historically constitutional. observance and propriety.
Trump’s delusionally false statement that the “Biden transition was difficult,” was rational to the same degree as the pronouncements of Lewis Carrol’s “Mad Hatter.” In light of Trump’s previous election denial and promotion of an unprecedented bloody insurrection, based on his false declaration that the 2020 election was “stolen” by Biden, we are credibly encouraged to upgrade our diagnosis of the orange autocrat from simply a practitioner of serial mendacity to the more likely diagnosis of schizophrenia. Does this self-possessed monomaniac expect that the infamy of his earlier election denial and overt promotion of a violent and bloody insurrection against the Capitol Building has been, in some Manchurian Candidate fashion, erased from America’s memory? The latest example of Donald J. Trump’s mental stte confirms our belief that more is exemplified than merely an additional example of his ubiquitous prevarication. We will leave further diagnosis to the professionally trained experts.
This practitioner of serial mendacity and infamous promoter of “alternate facts,” productive conspiracy machine, with a publically known record of aberrant behavior, inclusive of sexual abuse, defamation, disloyalty to family and country, dedicated bigot, prescriber of bathroom cleanser and veterinary horse wormer for the cure and prevention of covid-19, launched a hyperactive critique of the advice and persona, one of the Nation’s premier medical experts on infectious diseases, as well as recommended the prosecution of that dedicated scientist and medical expert?
How do the human standards of morality and mature responsibility stand up to a mentality that purloins top-secret governmental documents and hides them in the bathroom of his Florida resort, thereafter refusing to return them to the FBI? What can be imagined about the persona of a grandson of an immigrant to the United States, who, in his three marriages, weds three immigrant wives yet, defames, in absentia,, all immigrants as “caravans of, rapists and criminals” in this Nation, composed principally of immigrants and their progeny and avidly strives to eliminate the statutory legality and the demonstrated (Statue of Liberty Emily-Lazarus) invitation to the needy foreigner? Can we ignore that this serially bigoted xenophobic defamer has to date, himself been convicted of no less than 34 felonies and has been judicially declared a sex abuser? These empirical facts reveal fundamentally a far greater hazard to the Nation than simple personal peccadillos.
No illegal insurrection is required to appropriately remove Donald J. Trump from the office of the Presidency. The long overdue application of Article 25 of the United States Constitution, providing that a President may be appropriately and legally removed from office for disability would seem, not merely appropriate, but existentially necessary. In the salutary interest of the welfare and safety of the Nation (and the World), action should be prudently undertaken under Art. 25 based upon the plethora of publicly revealed symptoms of disabling mental illness which he has copiously evidenced to the Nation and the World.
