We have configured the title of this writing in the style of an ersatz-algebraic formula to highlight our principal theme, “Cruelty.” Much is known and millions of words have been expended on the subject of the reprehensible traits of Donald Trump, viz., his serial mendacity, lack of moral compass, ignorance and incapability, egocentrism, numerous prejudices, criminality, denigration of the American constitution, of the media, and institutions of enlightenment. He has proudly declared, and is currently making good on, his brash public declarations to be an autocrat, and thereby, a despoiler of the unique and desirable American way of life.
What strangely appears to be unstated, is Trump’s innate, rank cruelty. The same may be observed in his many socially repugnant acts of physical and articulate abuse of women, his selfish and defamatory xenophobia, and his repeated and malignant calumny of his political opponents. His opprobrious, publicly stated reference to the military dead at Arlington Cemetary as “suckers” and “losers was characteristic of his deplorable cruel insensitivity. [“What was in it for them?”]. Can anyone, possibly, in fathom the depth of despair experienced by the families of the young sons and daughters who prematurely lost their lives in service to the Nation? The draft-dodging (“bone spur”) orange-haired speaker apparently lacks any such human capacity. Further, his ubiquitous opposition to government programs of assistance to the disabled and needy, and his autocratic denial and disparagement of the democratic definitional vote, taken together would inarguably be determinative that it is he, who is appropriately entitled to the gold medal of ” loser.”
We were initially introduced to Trump’s excessive, innate, and despicable cruelty by an event, viewed on public television, that occurred during his first (twice-impeached) term. Donald Trump, on that shockingly revealing occasion, was being routinely interviewed on public television. It seems that one of the members of the media, despite being challenged by the horrendous shaking symptoms of cerebral palsy was posing a routine question to the President, when an event occurred that permanently cemented our opinion that Donald Trump empirically deserves the attribution of a degenerate persona. Our orange-haired, egotistic, and consummately sadistic protagonist, rather than routinely, respond to the question, in his dismayed presence, on public television, performed a clownish and despicable parody, voice and action, of the courageous reporter’s display of the stereotypical symptoms of palsy. This event irreversibly sealed our feelings of loathing and detestation of Trump and his cruelly displayed degenerate persona.
In the very first month of Trump’s bizarrely attained, second term, we are enabled, if necessary, to confirm our factual discernment of Donald Trump’s, innate and eternal practice of despicable cruelty. In his opprobrious reprise, as Chief Executive, Trump acquired “a partner in cruelty, a “sorcerer’s apprentice,” in the person of an impish, autistic-savant known as Elon Musk, reputed to be the richest man on the planet.
We would interrupt the further progress of our writing to express an alternate, but unquestionably related matter. As regular viewers of public television news programs and selected movies, we have been painfully subject to empirically disturbing messages demonstrating heartrending views of emaciated children and adults, the unfortunate residents of third-world countries like Ethiopia and Sudan, mercilessly suffering pain, sickness, and premature death from starvation, lack of water and sublime misery.
We had experienced some feeling of relief by the knowledge that organizations like USAID had been engaged in the compassionate activities of supplying desperately needed food and medicine to such unfortunate people in the World; the latter, an unfailingly appropriate expression of empathy and plain morality by the richest Nation in the World,
Trump, with the assistance of his similarly pathological, and billionaire, “Sorcerer’s Apprentice, has announced the heartlessly cruel elimination of the existential and empathic services of USAID. This is an action that somehow may conceivably, be acceptable to that criminally insensitive duo but unquestionably unthinkable by any mainstream human being with normal societal upbringing. This revolting level of cruelty would be seen as cruelly unimaginable for the traditional American citizen, but systemically consistent with the perverse personas of Trump and his unelected sidekick, the eternally smiling, impish Elon.
The foregoing shameful scenario is augmented by the sadistic duo’s reductively ignorant wrecking ball destruction of needed federal agencies, including the U.S. Education Department, the limitation or elimination of federally funded institutions of medical research, and many other ubiquitous programs of needed federal assistance. according to their reductive, cruel, and delusional ideation of “cutting waste and unnecessary expense.” The utter disregard for the needs of our Nation and the cruel, summary discharge of a copious number of federal civil servants is foolhardy and demonstrably cruel.
It is but little relief to recognize that the foolishly inspired MAGA voters will likewise be the unfortunate beneficiaries of such reprehensible cruelty.
