Were there any conceivable possibility that Donald J. Trump, honored for serial mendacity and “snake oil” demagogery, possessed a modicum of suitability to be the Nation’s Chief Executive, it was thoroughly dispelled today.
After the gut-wrenching testimony of a host of former victims of the horrific, juvenile sex ring, the enterprise of Jeffrey Epstein and his malevolent procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump arrogantly declared the ubiquitous heartrending and accusatory testimony “a hoax.’ This startling response warrants an obvious charge of defensiveness, given that Epstein was Trump’s known confederate. In our view, the reflexive defensive response may tend to beneficially demonstrate to, at least, some of the MAGA viewers the gross, tactical, and delusional malignity of Donald Trump. Notable MAGA cultists, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, who held hands with democratic Congressman Ro Kahana, indicated ardent support for the victims.
One cannot know if such enthusiastic support of the victims evinced by Margerie Taylor Green and Lauren Bo9ebert was revealatory of a previously unmanifested feeling of moral empathy, or, alternatively, a further display of their mutual neurotic penchant for conspiratorial ideation; nevertheles, it is is our hope that more MAGA adherents will now be enabled to confess that Donald Trump is a devious snake -oil demagogue, a systemic villain and, himself, a despicable hoax. Like Trump’s infamous reference to the hundreds of dead young soldiers, buried at Arlington Military Cemetery, as”losers and suckers,” his knee-jerk defensive response, “Hoax,” may redound to the revelation of his systemically self-interested, immoral, and inhumane persona.
Significantly, the sexual abuse of several hundred sexually abused victims were enticed and ensnared in Epstein’s obscene web by Ghislaine Maxwell when they were of an innocent young age. Epstein’s procurement was international as well as National, and sophisticated methods of banking finance were established on a sub-rosa basis, internationally and domestically. A thorough investigation of his nefarious and despicably wide web of corruption and highly profitable enterprise would, doubtless. ensnare countless enablers as well as reveal the covert list of names of prominent consumers of Epstein’s nefarious service. The latter consideration makes relevant the possibility that Epstein, confined to a prison cell, did not die by suicide; an enticing proposition for conspiracy mavins, many of whom are MAGA cultists.
The public revelation of the myriad of contextual sex offenses against young girls, by a confidant of Donald Trump (apparently, also a loyal customer, as revealed by publicly shown video footage) would impair Trump’s political reputation, as it would other well-known personalities. It is the latter consideration that cogently suggests the empirical suggestion of such a homocidal event, as an empirical alternative to the media-reported “suicide,” and doubtlessly titillates the imagination of the “all-knowing” ideations of MAGA conspiracy wonks.
In the interestof our Democratic Republic, we would celebrate the justified removal of the inappropriate, autocraticly unprincipled Donald J. Trump from the American Presidency, However, we cannot help but look askance at the nature of a public that is ultimately moved to outrage by charges of sexual and homicidal nature regardless of responsible contempt at Trump’s multifarious constitutional abuse, heartless denial of institutional relief to the needy, domestic and international, autocratic attack upon our Republican Democracy, ubiquitous immorality, inclusive of multiple criminal felonies, his Gestapo-style prosecution of peaceful and productive Hispanics, his purloining of top-secret documents, criminal interference with the National vote, authorian motivatred attacks on American Universities and the National Media, violation of the “Emolument Clause by magnifi self-inrichment, elimination of the Nation’s Health Research Services, serial mendacity and complete lack of moral compass, all, in aggravation of a woeful state of empiricaslly demonstrated incapacity.
To quote a popular aphorism: “Any port in a storm.”
