We shall forever be grateful for the inclusion in the American lexicon of the word “despicable.” In our view, said singular adjective itself would constitute a fitting and accurate portrait of the persona of Donald J. Trump.
We have copiously written relative vto the low character and reprehensible behavior of Donald J. Trump, as President, inclusive of : his serial mendacity, his hubristic persona signified by his signing with publically demonstrated flourish “Presidential Orders” with a thick black, assertive velvet “Sharpie,” mandates which are constitutionally inappropriate alone to Congress, eliminating humanistic relief to middle-class American citizens as well as desperately needed food and medicine to needy foreign countries, surgically incising the Federal Civil Service, inclusive of its vitally important health research agencies, fomenting an insurrection, motivated by his neurotic election denial, televised voter interference, treasonous purloining of top secret documents and storing them in a publically accessible bathroom, his liason with the Nation’s autocratic enemies, multiple criminal adjudicastions and multiple felonious indictments, his adjudication as a sexual offender, and a tax cheat, as a defamer, his support of White Christian Nationalist militias, wide-spread Gestapo- style arrest and deportation of ethnic Americans without due process, acts of autocratic retribution against political opponents, violation of the “Emoluiment Clause,” in illegally and substantially enriching himself and family, attack on the public media, denigration of science and education, including withholding funds from Universities, perpetration of “alternative facts ” and wild conspiracy ideations, and declarations of intent to be a “Dictator.”
We have previously written about the reprehensible behavior of Trump as President; his hubristic persona signing of Executive Orders”” with thr demonstrated flourish of his thick black, assertive velvet “Sharpie” of mandates which are constitutionally appropriate to Congress, eliminating humanistic relief to the middle-class American citizen as well as desperately needed food and medicine to needy countries, his descimation of the Federal Civil Service, including vitally important health research agencies, his seditious fomenting of an insurreection, motivated by his neurotic election denial, voter interference, treasonous withholding of top secret documents and stashing them in an accessible bathroom, huis liason with the Nation’s autocratic enemies, criminal adjudicastions and multiple felonious indictments, adjudication as a sexual offender, and as a defamer, support of National White Christian Nationalist militias, Gestapo- style arrest and deportation of ethnic Americans, sans due process, autocratic acts of retribution against political opponents, violation of the “Emoluiment Clause,” in illegally enriching himself and family, attack on the public media, denigration of science and education, withholding funds from Universities, tactically perpetrating the concept of “alternative facts ” and wild conspiracy ideations, public declarations of intent to be a “Dictator,” encouragement of fossil fuel expansion (“drill, baby, drill”) in the face of existential global warming, opposition to NATO, and much more too numerous to fully recount.
What, in our view, has not been adequately treated, other than his ignorant incapacity and neurotically egoistic hubris, is his reprehensible behavior from the perspective of an individual member of society, which is, as stated, encapsulated in the implicit portraiture of the word “Despicable.”
The operative word is the dynamic opposite of the beneficial noun, “decent.” It is indisputable that the character of the declared, would-be orange dictator, viewed as f an individual member of society, is inarguably despicable
He is married to his third wife, who, in common with his two divorced wives, is foreign-born, an observation patently and bizarrely inconsistent with his constant xenophobic declarations and treatment of foreign-born Americans. The Gestapo brutality, signified by his policies of arrest, brutality, and deportation without due process, compliantly carried out by his authorized masked hoodlums (“ICE”), is cognitively dissonant with his thrice-demonstrated taste in spouses. His fifteen-year intimate friendship and brisk commerce with the Nation’s major league celebrity whoremonger, Jeffrey Epstein, plus other publicised acts of sexual abuse, are irrefutably demonstrative of his disrespect for women and his callous disregard of societal mores; added to his obvious disloyalty to his marriages. The extant, roiling issue of Q-Anon-style conspiracy (“Epsteingate”) is the consequence of this sociopath, who has publicly stated, ” I can shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.” The dissonant darling of the Christian Evangelicals puts the lie to any possible assertions of moral community.
Trump’s despicable performance as the Nation’s errant Chief Executive is empirically consistent with his innate, singular persona; an existential menace to the Nation, to society, and to its metaphysically existential Social Compact. The contextual term is “despicable.”
