As predictable as a butterfly’s emergence from its larva, our emotional reaction to the Trump-MAGA Presidency has morphed into a clear and present danger to the endurance of our way of life as well as the American Democratic Republic
The dystopic, un-American Trump Administration has been the subject of too many of our past writings. Trump’s publicly announcd intention to be a dictator, his repudiation of the American Constitution and the Rule of Law, his castigation of the media and institutions of higher education, his interference with the definitial, democratic vote, fomentation of a criminal insurrection and unjust use of the Presidential Pardon, his destructive, imposition of tariffs on on our Nation’s trading partners, the use of his office to unconscionably enhance his family’s wealth, his illegal use of the military to invade the sovereignty of the States, his designation of a private horde of masked “flying monkeys” (ref: Alice in Wonderland) as a Gestapo-style force to intimidate, mistreat and destroy the lives of innocent Hispanic Americans, his cancellation of empathic progams of relief to the needy, both nationally and internationally, his destruction of the Nation’s vitally important health research agencies, his intimate relationships with the tyrannical leaders of the Nation’s recognized enemies and repugnant behavior towrards its allies, including NATO, his ubiquitous lack of moral compass, serial mendacity., his 34 felony convictions and plethora of criminal indictments, held in abeyance by reason of his office, his treasonous purloining of top secret governmental documents, his official adjudications of tax fraud as well as sexual abuse, his innate reality-blinding egocentrism, not to omit his metaphysical incapability, as Chief Executive and his abhorrant personal behavior, have been thematic subjects of past writings.
Donald Trump’s demonstrated dystopic, egocentric persona as relates to his role as President of the United States may be described as empirically distasteful, but more significantly clinically worrisome. The recent, observable, erratic behavior of the Nation’s Chief Executive has empirically transmogrified our earlier feelings of odium to an emotional state of primal fear for the very existence of our Nation and its population, and, conceivably, others. Before the brief recitation of such contextual symptoms of such “clear and present danger,” we would take the liberty of emphasizing that the current erratic President singularly carries with him a card which affords him the irrevocable franchise to make the unimpeachable decision to initiate nuclear war. Imagine the analogy of a rapid-firing weapon in the hands of a drunken and crazed gorilla.
In our earlier attempts at moderating our fears, we chose to perceive the odious actions of Donald J. Trump as egoistically driven ignorance. Recent events have now obliged us to conclude that the Presidency of Donald J. Trump poses an existentially imminent danger. We would once more reprise our terrifying and impactful observation that this orange hazmat has, in his pocket, the nuclear trigger
The first of the two startling events that triggered our contextual fear was Trump’s seemingly endless, sophomoric address, accurately described as a “rant” before the United Nations, which was embarrassingly disjointed and incoherent. It included the delusional statement that he has “made America great again,” along with a myriad of other disconnected, cringeworthy declarations, such as to invest any thoughtful American blush with national shame.
The “final match in the gunpowder barrel ” involved the unprecedented Presidential summons of 800 of the Nation’s senior military leaders to the Capitol for an official meeting; irrespective of the danger of terrorist attack on the venue, the hazardous removal of supervisory officers from their strategic locations, the complex logistics, and the enormous expense incurred.
The awaited “Gettysburg Address” moment, for this historically unprecedented event, saw an incongruous reprise of the endless, disjointed rant delivered before the U.N., containing such deranged observations that he signs Executive Orders with a prominent pen on high-grade, “golden” paper, compared with his “sleepy” predecessor, who uses a cheap pen and ordinary paper.” This starlingly assinine and hubristically articulated boast, and other clinically articulated and diagnosable assertions, were delivered before his summoned, 800 top military leaders of the three branches of the United States Military. We presume that if not for their disciplined military fealty they would have had an appropriate negative response. This proudly declared assertion was typical of the myriad of outlandish rants by the MAGA shaman especially notable in consideration of the singularly unprecedented occasion, inarguably exceeding the boundaries of the adjective, “bizarre”, and revelatorily clinical and potentially disastrous.
Considering such recent indications of the extent of Donald Trump’s dangerous mental infirmity, Congress will aptly deserve the historical blame for the potential effects of Donald Trump’s evident mental derangement, unless it responsibly removes him under Article 25 of the Constitution.
