We have been responsibly obliged, by current events to comment on the ubiquitous amplitude of the villainy and abominable behavior of Donald Trump, in and out of office. Notwithstanding the empirical veracity of such observations, our sense of editorial balance urges us to render him credit for his many vasried innovative and creative accomplishments; independently “breaking new ground” as a singular American Chief Executive. Trump’s cutting edge, creative activities have given birth to a cornucopia of superceding perceptions of the American Presidency, such as have not seen in the Nation’s almost two centuries since its foundation. Such admirable governmental innovations are ubiquitously diverse and conceivably too numerous to cite in a mini=essay, however, we will endeavor to furnish an instructive and faithfully representative selection:

(1) No other president in almost two centuries of the Nation’s history has publically advertised to the American public the sale of sneakers and wristwatches.

(2) No other president has ever been romantically infatuated with the leader of the Nation’s extant adversaries, like Putin and Xi Jinping. Was King George ever an amorata of George Washington, or FDR a romantic suitor of Hirohito or Adolph Hitler?

(3) No other president in American History has been determined to guilty of sexual crimes by a Judge and Jury.

(4) Until the advent of the Trump Presidency, no prior president has been innovative enough to eschew the Constitution and conveniently ignore the Rule of Law and the established societal Moral Compass.

(5) No other American president has ever declared to the American public his intention to be a “dictator.”

(6) No other President has had the imagination to challenge the results of an American election nor, relevantly sponsor an insurrection against the Nation’s Capitol;

(7) No previous President to date has ever decreed a course of governmental “retribution” for his political opponents.

(8) No previous American president has engaged a non-elected civilian as a partner or co-president to share in the determination of governmental policy.

(9) No prior president has elected to cruelly and inhumanely slander and mistreat immigrants (even though it is notable that all three of his marriages have been to foreign immigrants).

(10) Donald Trump is the only president who singularly and unashamedly declared to the citizens of our Democratic Republic his desire to acquire the ownership of other sovereignties, viz., Greenland, Panama, and Canada.

In empirical reality, there is a veritably overfull dumpster of like Trump innovations and representative demonstrations of his singular talent for creative and uniquely ground-breaking capability; however, it is felt that the foregoing ten (10) listed items should suffice to sufficiently instruct potential critics of the verisimilitude of his understated merit.

This writing extends the theme of #230, “SHAMELESS,” relating to Donald J. Trump’s demonstrable cruelty. His elimination of government agencies that protect human health, well-being, and the environment and provide food and medicine to the needy throughout the World, notably exemplifies the very pinnacle of cruelty.

For a brief time, in an effort at principled restraint, we were successful in the containment of reactive anguish and derivative shame by the diverting election to write on alternate themes, such as “MANDATORY SURGERY. # 233, and “SOLO SOCIETY,”#234. However, we find thast we are no longer to postpone the expression of our feelings of unmitigated rage at the recent heinous ac ts of Donald J. Trump under the false banner of “eliminating waste and fraud,” and, notably, by the cynical and outrageous dynamics of their implementation. We have also experienced profound disappointment and anguish at the impotence of the Democratic Party’s response.

The established mode of effecting policy changes mandates a prerequisite study and inquiry (usually, an open hearing) by the relevant Congressional Committee, followed by a resultant report to the legislature for statutory consideration. Notwithstanding our constitutionally appropriate precedent, Donald J. Trump’s autocratic, arbitrary, and, factually unsupported action (with the assistance of his non-elected, autistic -savant, “hit man,”) has, in orthodox Mousellini style, summarily dismissed many essential federal agencies, (together with their employees) upon his delusional and unsupported meme of “eliminating governmental fraud and abuse.” Such improperly arrogated autonomy makes appropriate the present expression of our feelings of unsuppressible outrage.

Imperially and presumptively bypassed by Trump are considerations of objective and pragmatic need and consequential negative outcome regarding the welfare of human life and society, and the Nation’s ultimate aspiration for improvement by his harmful dismissal of beneficially impactful agencies such as The United States Education Department,” the suicidal elimination of the CDC and the hazardous restraints imposed upon the National Health Agency, the NIH, the Nation’s Inspector Generals, encompassing societal damage relative to citizen health and welfare, such as disability, social security, school lunch programs, medicare and the like. As previously declared, such a draconian program is pathologically cruel and inarguably resultant in ubiquitous tragedy;

Equally dystopic to the nightmarish exercise is the arrogant, atavistic, and non-American exercise of Monarchical-style, unlimited authority, with no consideration given to the Constitution, its Separation of Powers, nor any other established procedural institution or historic safeguard against tyranny, Trump had publically declared his intention to be autocratic and has now demonstrated to the American public, that when it is in his neurotic interest, his systemic practice of serial mendacity can be temporarily ameliorated.

At this moment in our history, it is existentially determinative for mainstream America notably including its political representatives and officials, in sync with its domocracy- loving citizenry, to loudly voice their primal outrage and unshakeable opposition to the extant rape of our invaluable Republican Democracy by the fascistic acts of Trump and his complisant horde of loyal MAGA storm troopers.
