There is a veritable multitude of Yiddish words (the lingua franca of our early chilhood) which, due to their singular depth of expression, have been usefully incorporated into the American lexicon. Words like “schtick” ( false, deceptive tactics), “mensch” (the quintessential quality of humanism, dignity, or empathy), “schmaltzy” (sentimental, emotive), and “chutzpah” (extreme ironic audacity). In this writing, we have chosen to contextually avail ourselves of the singularly expressive noun, “chutzpah,” indeed, the zenith, or “apogee,” of its critically absurd concept.
Donald Trump has inarguably demonstrated the highest degree of ignorant, hubristic “chutzpah” in his audacious claim against the (“his”) Justice Department for the numerous investigations and official proceedings against him in the recent past. This schizophrenically bizarre claim reveals the very epitome of Man’s potential for arrogance and classic chuzpah and is consistent with Trump’s self-absorbed, ego-centric myopia. A brief reference to the objective record should be sufficient to confirm his systemic schizophrenic perception of empirical reality and suffice to demonstrate the “Mad Hatter” quality of his outrageous and factually demonstrated “chutzpah.”
In August 2023, Trump was officially charged with numerous official criminal indictments, including criminal charges of conspiracy to defraud the government and disenfranchise the voters, corruptly obstructing an official proceeding, and for his principal involvement in the January 6 seditious attack upon the Nation’s Capital.
The record demonstrates that Trump was indicted and convicted, in August 2023, of 34 criminal (felony) charges, including falsifying business records relative to the “hush money” payments by him to a prostitute (“Stormy” Daniels), additionally indicted in Florida on 40 charges of the crime of purloining of government top-secret documents ( stored by him in a publicly accessible toilet at his social club at Mar-A-Lago), indicted in that same year for defrauding the government in the criminal attempt to alter the 2020 election.
It is indisputable that the number and extent of Donald Trump’s ubiquitous record of criminality (many of which were remarkably viewed on public television) entitle the orange-dyed-haired miscreant to a uniquely horrific place in American Presidential history. It appears that his surprising election to the Presidency was, luckily for Donald J. Trump and inimical to plain justice, legally effective in quashing further criminal proceedings, which would have empirically resulted in his deserved and appropriate incarceration
It would be inconceivable that any legitimate member of the advanced evolutionary species of homo sapiens would choose, in the face of such publicly known criminality, notably his tactical use of his Presidential “get out of jail” card, to assert his recent demand for $350,000,000 against the Justice Department for the inconvenience and expense of his ( legitimate) investigation and legal proceedings. This is the zenith or “apogee” of the human proclivity for unmitigated “chutzpah”
Indeed, this contextually outrageous claim has been irrationally asserted by the “poster boy” for “chutzpah,” who is undeniably responsible for an uncountable amount of financial damage caused to the American Nation, a great many of its citizens, and perhaps irreparable damage to our unique and systemic democracy.
If the subject of damages were, at all relevant, astronomical amounts of reparational money would be appropriately payable, by Trump to the American Treasury for his ubiquitous damage to the Nation, as well as a myriad of traditional and innocent American citizens, and most notably, for the apogee of chutzpah by his barbaric destruction of the East Wing of the (People’s) venerable White House.
