We would highlight one of the categories, among the conglomerate of disasters attributable to the incompetent and neurotically egoistic Trump Administration, which appears to be so presumptuously absurd as to be( virtually farcical.
Our contextual reference is to the populist, inappropriate attempt by Donald Trump to shape or redirect the educational policies and curricula of America’s established Universities. Donald Trump, aided by the (mandated ) loyalty of his “freak show” Cabinet and the cultish support of his MAGA minions, all of whose collective brainpower is incapable of distinguishing “tariff policy” from “five-card poker,” vital civil servants from “freeloaders,” “recession” from “inflation,” or, basically, “truth” from “alternate facts” and possessing a pitiful understanding of the Nation’s Constitution and its system of laws.
Our historically venerated Nation is contemporaneously presented with a bizarre governmental polity, principally dedicated to the exclusive service of Donald J. Trump’s sophomoric and delusional zero-sum game, consisting of his neurotic and reductive perception of “winning” or “losing.”
History has irrefutably demonstrated that the most cogent and invaluable natural resource of a nation is its human resources; not the fortuitous presence of natural resources such as oil, coal, iron ore, water, nor even geographic location. A relatively recent confirmation of this historical observation was reprised approximately three-quarters of a century ago, relative to the Second World War. Germany, a relatively small nation, came frighteningly close to success in its military desire to conquer the entire world; an ambition, frighteningly feasible because of its population’s level of educational literacy and its resultant organizational facility..
Trump’s ignorant disdain for education and cultural cohesion is ominously consistent with his dual gift of overweening self-interest and profound intellectual ignorance. His systemic self-concern has the ineffable result of little attention paid to matters outside the perceived purview of his selfish and reductive, horse blinders. It is impulse, rather than deliberation, egoistic self-concern, and populist atavistic bigotry, rather than ethical responsibility, that provide the dystopic dynamics of his egregious, unprecedented policies and his regressive actions.
An insatiable, autocratic appetite for unrestrained power describes the underlying theme of Donald Trump’s actions, as he determinatively and dramatically signs his name, prominently and assertively, to his reckless and irresponsible, un-American Executive Orders with the dramatic, stage, Gilbert and Sullivan-style, flourish of his thick, potent, black “sharpie” to demonstrate his presumed and publically declared sense of power. Trump seems to systemically lack the bodily genes for for shame, as clearly demonstrated, among other examples, in his tactical use of his purported desire to oppose “antisemitism” strategically asserted against America’s prestigious Universities, such as Columbia and Harvard Universities (institutions in which he, as a student, would not have had a scintilla of a chance of acceptance) to camouflage his primal lust for power,
The irritating, sardonic falsity of such purported motivation is demonstrated by his previous bizarre statements concerning past Christian White Supremicist, anti-semetic demonstrations, to the telling effect that “both sides had decent people,” his general behavior toward minorities, notably illustrated by his choice of a Secretary of Defense that notably, sports large body tatoos demonstrating his ardent support for White Christian Militias.
We find it to be frustratingly impossible to discover in the entire American-English lexicon, words, adequately conveying the extraordinary level of brash and ignorant presumption evinced in the aspiration of Donald J. Trump to deign to prescribe the educational policy of our revered educational institutions.
So, call it “Chutzpah,”
