Blogpost # M. 314 ” WINNING THE GOLD”

The existential damage empirically inflicted upon our Democratic Republic by Donald Trump’s unprincipled and dystopian policies, having its etiology in his singular egoistic and neurotic perception as a “winner” or, heaven forbid, a “loser,” has tragically accomplished the dirty work of its foreign enemies. His all- pervasive divisive weakening of the American Nation, morally, economically, and sociologically (viz., demeaning education and intellectual advancement, promotion of falsity and ‘alternate facts,” tanking the Nation’s stable economy, demeaning national military service (“suckers and losers,”) attack on the Nation’s media, tactical appointment of inappropriately, incapable, albeit loyal, Cabinet Ministers, the creation of a privately loyal legal authority, as opposed to a nationally dedicated, federal legal apparatus, his irresponsibled dessimating of the Federal Civil Service and societal protective regulations, contrasted with his adamant support of polluting, big industry, his autocratic prosecution of free speech as well as citizen indivdual liberty and equality, his executive action, based upon his perverse ideation that he is above the strictures of the law, his lack of societal moral compass and plain human decency, his intimate friendship with Amedrica’s enemies and most recently his un-American, Gestapo-like war against Hispanic immigrants, inclusive of their arbitrary arrest, imprisonment and banishmednt to foreign torture prisons, without a glimmer of due process

Such egregious acts, weakening the Nation’s spirit and resolve, could never be as empirically successful if imposed by a foreign enemy, regardless of the efficiency of its insidious program of espionage.

The contextual travesty of the Trump Presidency is not the only instance of a flawed Presidency. Andrew Johnson’s shameful, forced removal of the Cherokee Nation and other indigenous tribes from their fertile ancestral home in the Southeast, to the dusty, infertile, and windy “proper Indian Territory” of Oklahoma (Indian Removal Act of 1830) was analogous to Trump’s authorization of a black-hooded assault, analogous to the nightmarish Nazi “Kristallnacht,” but arguably less sxuc dessfully genecidal. Andrew Johnson’s impeachment for illegal political appointment is, in general, factually similar to Trump’s shamefully egregious self-interested cabinet appointments of completely incapable and systemically immoral, but loyal, officials, judges, and Cabinet Officers. Nixon’s derogation of the Nation’s criminal law (“Watergate) was unprincipled and arrogant, as is Trump’s universal disrespect for the Constitution and the law of the land; however, the latter’s universality of miscreance exceeds the former in its ubiquitous universality and sustained impact.

We have witnessed the historical event in which Donald J. Trump has, at long last, indisputably, established himself as a “winner,” albeit of the perverse competition for the gold medal for human depravity.

“Mazel Tov!”
