Blogpost # M. 398 PRIORITIES

The publicised relationship between Donald Trump and the “box store” entrepreneur of underage childhood sex (and presumed blackmailer), Jeffrey Epstein, is the most likely matter in the multi-dumpster quantity of detritus from Trump’s misrule, to undermine him. We affirmatively hope so, before the orange autocrat can wreak further damage upon our Democratic Republic.

However, a disturbing question arises as to the Nation’s ethical or moral priorities: “What does the above empirical observation notably disclose relative to our societal priorities, in the face of the plethora of inhumane, unconstitutional, and immoral acts observably, ‘trumped’ by the more populist- appealing scandalThe public has been fully aware of Trump’s multitude of unconstitutional and autocratic offenses against the nation’s legal governance, inclusive of his autocratic policy of retribution against perceived political enemies, the neurotiuc election denial and consequent support of an unprecedented, bloody insurrection against the Capitol Building (therafter pardoning the criminal insurrectionists), his inhumane elimination of existing humane programs of food and medical relief to the needy, both domestic and foreign, his dessimation of the Federal Civil Service, his his unauthorized waging of war agains Vnezusalan vessels on the high seas, his use of a private, masked army to intimidate, arrest and incarcerate, peacefdul and productive Hispanic Americans, his illegal and autocratic use of the military for domestic purposes, his supporft of White Christian militias and ubiquitous bigoted statements, his adjudicated and boastful abuse of women, his unconstitutional imposition of international tariffs (resulting in the exorbitant rise in the American ctizens/’ cost of living,), his treason. including the purloining of ultra-secret documents and intimate relationships with America’s enemy heads of State, his total usurpation of the constitutional function of the Legidslative Branch of government by bizarrely decreeing legislation by way of felt-tipped “RExecutive Orders, and his general undermining of the “Separation of Powers,” his voter interference, his inconsistent policies regarding the Nation’s defensive assistance to the attacked nation of Ukraine, his attacks on Social Security and Medicare, his elimination of USAID, withdrawal from the Paris Accords concerning global warming and the protection of the Planetary environment, his barbaric and unauthorized act of destruction of the East Wing of thed White House and a further cornicopoia of egregious acts, inconsistent with the constitution, rule of law and the societal moral compass. Donald Trump has shown himself to be guilty of serial mendacity and tactically manipulative to effect his public declaration of intention to be a dictator, by his programmatic attack on the free press and the media. The most societally metaphysical offense against humanity was his autocratic attack on “factual truth,” in favor of subjectively useful, “Alternative Facts.”

Incredible as it may seem, there are yet further observable instances of presidential mismanagement and illegality which are noted in earlier writings; however, the many listed offensive matters, presumably, are sufficient to enunciate our present thematic concern. We will, in contrast to the model of the stereotypical essay which, concludes with a declaration, by contrast, end this writingey with our thematic question: “What is the nature and quality of a population which solely directs its critical ire at the errant act of the President in befriending a sexual predator like Je Epstein, to the exclusion of his known acts of inhumanity and metaphysical evil.

Even more disturbing is the question as to whether such a worrisome inclination portends the nightmarish possibility of the election of another Trump-like malefactor?

Blogpost # M. 397 A REPRISE OF INSTITUTIONAL HATRED

The mere mention of the name “Adolph Hitler,” or of the repulsive nouns, “Nazi” or “Fascist,” reflexively evokes an emotional sense of abhorrence. Unavoidable references to the eerie “death camps, or the monstrous “Holocaust” are painful reminders of Man’s nascent potential for morally abominable action.

By empirical contrast, the human inclination towards moral and humanistic behavior is vital for the pragmatic and rational endurance of society. Said existentially important concept is fundamentally anthropological and sociological, and inarguably, non-partisan. Authoritarian restrictions on liberty and human rights are an empirical anathema to the healthy exercise of individual reason, societal morality, and its successful endurance.

Lamentably, the bizarre, catatonic-like failure of moral responsibility of the Republican Congress, presumably founded upon fearful submission to the autocratic devices of Donald Trump, has empirically exposed a subtle, sub-rosa fissure in the American body politic; the latter, affording the toxic entry of an unprecedented assault upon the systemic nature of our venerated Republican Democracy.

By illustration, it is reported that the official youth organization of the Republican Party, reportedly, has ubiquitously adopted such fascist terminology as “faggot,” “retarded,” has casually employed the “N” word, referred to black Americans as “monkeys’ or “Watermelon People, joked about death camps, “gas chambers,” and “ovens.” Principled opposition to the latter epithets and disagreeable references has been, most notably, dismissed by the Nation’s loathsome and observably bigoted Vice President, J.D. Vance to as “pearl clutching, over a few kids telling edgy jokes.” The referenced “kids,” reportedly, are in their 20s and 30s. The outre V.P. has forever distinguished himself by publicly declaring, “Hate is not a deal breaker.” It appears that the modern Republican Party prizes cruelty and bigotry as badges of party loyalty.

It is our ubiquitous experience that what starts out as crude, casual comments often eventuate into perverse conviction. We are sadly and alarmingly obliged to observe that the extant Republican Party appears to prize cruelty and bigotry as badges of party loyalty.

The media has revealed that Donald Trump has appointed an individual to head a federal watchdog agency who has overtly admitted that he has a “Nazi Streak,” and remains in office despite his reprehensible practice of racially bigoted remarks.

In this context, we cannot ignore the publicly demonstrated Nazi salute given by the autistic savant and trillionaire, Elon Musk, the Eichmann-like Steven Miller’s embrace of White Supremacy, nor the Holocaust denial expressed by the petulant enfant-terrible, Tucker Carlson.

Our Republican Democracy ignores such 1930s Munich-like toxicity at its existential peril.

Blogpost # M. 396 “PIFFLE! “

In 18th-century Medieval Europe, no royal palace was finer than that of His Highness, King Donald, Monarch of Monomania, commonly referred to by academic historians as the “Orange Pretender”. The ornate Royal Palace, constructed with gold and Carrara marble, had been rebuilt by the Monarch from the historic stone castle, which, years past, was occupied by the Nation’s former Royal Family, centuries ago, in the ancient days of the”Arch King,” Sir Ronald MacDonald.

At the time of this writing, three thousand of the surviving citizens of Monomania (some of whom were still wearing prophylactic masks against the recent pandemic) were dutifully assembled at the Royal Arena, located in close proximity to the golden drawbridge, in compliance with the King’s hand-written Executive Order. The official proceedings were convened to honor the orange Monarch’s success in the total banishment of all known scholars and intellectuals from the realm. The latter had also been decreed, on pain of summary imprisonment and torture, the surrender of all books and papers, thus eliminating from the realm a seditious disagreement with the defibitially wise decrees and policies of the Orange Monarch.

The King’s Official Chamber of Advisers were seated next to the motionless, lovely Mannequin Queen, dressed in a 14-carat gold-spun gown, and dutifully looking straight ahead but, sporadically and loyally, flashing a fixed, comatose-like smile. Other notables on the dais, were the Royal Ministers including, the Royal Military Chief, easily identifiable by his upraised wine jug, held open to his open mouth, the Chief Law Counselor, identifiable by her show-girl blonde hair and heavy makeup, the private security advisor, conspicuously dangling from her left hand a dead puppy, and the Royal Alchemist and healer, identifiable by his gravelly voice and proclivity for magic brews, and in opposition to the realm’s traditional medecine.

Notably, in the second row of the military-guarded Monomania audience, stood our brave protagonist, Selwin T. Snarl, a lanky, tow-headed young scrivener and part-time schoolteacher. While the multitude of citizens looked on and listened intently (or pretended to listen intently) to the precious words of the orange Monarch, Selwin frequently sighed and, intermittingly, looked away, uncontrollably hiccoughing.

The King proudly boasted of his singularly successful achievements in improving the lives of the citizens of Monomania, economically and in all other respects, smiled proudly and beneficently at such proud declarations of accomplishment. The dignitaries seated at the podium thought they heard a responsive exclamation, “piffle,” apparently emanating from the second row.

The Monarch then proudly went on to boast of his salutory policies, resulting in a more affordable way of life for the commoners of the realm. The repeated, loudly broadcast response, “piffle,” was again heard; this time, identifiably coming from the second row, specifically, the seat occupied by our protagonist, Selwin T. Snarl. Three further declarations of Monarchial success by the Orange Monarch were followed by similar exclamations of “piffle,” loudly shouted, emanating from the same source; which resulted in the arrest of our indignant proteter, Selwin Snark, by masked palace guards and his punitive removal, to which actions the arrested party spat out s the loud exclamation, “piffle.’

As luck would have it, a dark cloud appeared and a virtual torrent of rain, accompanied by loud thunder and bright streaks of lightning, allowing our hero to slip away and escape to his modest home. As soon as he opened his front door, Selwin frustratingly noticed a pile of feces deposited by his pet terrier, Tucker

Not another “pifle,” exclaimed the frustrated householder.

Blogpost # M. 395 VOX POPULI

Analogous to the common experience of the initial denial of empirical reality when suddenly confronted with an unforeseen, tragic occurrence, it is our view that, in general, the mainstream American thus initially deferred suitable response to the Trump–MAGA autocratic assault on democracy.

America’s horde of antisemitic and racially bigoted proponents of Christian White Supremacy, such as the arrogant and obnoxious Tucker Carlson and the infanous Hitler worshipper, Nick Fuentes, (to name but two of a plethora of pernicious supporters of White Christian Nationalism, sanctioned by the power-hungry proclaimed would-be dictator, Donald Trump) have been assiduous in their anti-democratic, “Fifth Columnist” desire to effectuate the fascist,-Ku Klux Klan inspired, “Proclaimation 2025.”

The societal existence of “Truth” was attacked, in favor of the more fascist- utilitarian, “Alternate Facts,” the Nation’s affairs were baldly determined by autocratic “Executive Order rather than by the people’s Congress, the media was undermined, immigration confounded, institutions of learning intimidated, federal civil service dessimated, including agencies delivering humanitarian aid, health research and disease prevention agencies, book censorship approved, the private, narural right of women of electing abortion criminalized, arbitrarily and unauthorized tariffs imposed on the Nation’s trading parners resulting in increased domestic prices on consumer necessities as well aa proximately injuring the Nation’s economy, the outlandish and unconstitutional Trump practice to hubristically replace the process of Congressional legislation by (hand-writtren) Executive Orders, the ubiquitous Presidential policies, perniciouslys designed to skew the vote, the tactical appointment of right-wing, incapable, Trump-MAGA loyalists to the Cabinet, the Presidentialo support of right-wing militas, the frightening creation of a Presidential private masked Army to xenophobically oppress, intimidte and incarcerate Hispanic Americans, the fascist and legally forbidden use of the Nation’s military for domestic purposes and, contextually, to effect a “sea change” from the American historically established democratic polity to blatent authoritan rule. As predicted in our essay, # M. 308, “SIR ISAAC AND THE PENDULUM, the MAGA wrecking ball, in accordance with Sir Isaac Newton’s classic theory, action and reaction,” has finally reached its zenith and has recently begun to forcefully swing in the opposite direction.. Please note that we have utilized the physical law revealed by Isaac Newton as a dynamic example of the tendency, by analogy, for the empirical tendency of actions to result in a mitigating or contrary effect.

To be thematically specific, once the Nation was able to morph, or recover from the above-mentioned “denial” mode, it was then enabled to appropriately respond. to the shocking, dire prospect of the extant, developing autocracy.

Notably, after breathing in the cool, pleasant air of liberty and citizen rights, one is systemically disinclined to inhale the polluted, fetid atmosphere of autocratic repression. The dynamic directional swing of the infamous wrecking ball was thereupon reversed, Newton-like, in the direction of popular outrage at the growing prospect of a fascistic autocracy,

The media reported that no less than 7,000,000 concerned American citizens responsibly turned out for the recent, peaceful, Nationwide “NO KINGS” protests. The current elections in the various States demonstrated substantial victories for the Democrats (i,e, democracy) on all political levels. Reportedly, 8,000,000 California voters opposed Trump-MAGA’s plans to skew the vote of the Electoral College.

The irradicably universal American penchant for liberty and the continuance of its salubrious American way of life, once more, has been emphatically articulated by the “Vox Populi,” i.e., the Voice of the (American) People.

Blogpost # M. 394  THE APOGEE OF “CHUTZPAH”

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.

Blogpost # M. 393 SHIFTING TIDES

We have often referenced the prescient admonition of Thomas Jefferson that an informed and educated population is necessary for a democracy to succeed, and have been eternally aware of the significant number of populist citizens who, unfortunately, do not meet such a standard. Our Republican Democracy has historically suffered from this vulnerability, but not until the election of Donald J. Trump (twice) to the American Presidency has this vulnerability been so egregiously demonstrated.

We have in copious writings, presumably made sufficient reference to the erratic, ego-centric, unconstitutional acts and the notably amoral behavior of Donald J. Trump. Accordingly, we are of the view that a reprise of the dumpster-full record of his egregiously bizarre performance is neither necessary nor within the thematic intent of the present theme. What is relevant to this writing is our disturbing question as to the nature of the millions of American citizens who put him in office.

The media seemed to indicate that Donald Trump was elected in a demagogically induced tidal wave of optimism that, if elected, incomes would skyrocket, inflation would vanish, jobs would come roaring back, and the middle class would prosper like never before. Our own perception is that he was elected based on the familiarity of his TV celebrity established by the game show, and the general discontent with life on the part of the populist underbelly, together with the financial support of industrial moguls whose enormous profits are generated by the irresponsible industrial pollution of the atmosphere and who are, accordingly, pathologically opposed to government health regulations.

It is our understanding that Trump was virtually unknown to the general public until he became the host of an asinine TV game show called “The Apprentice.” In his father’s real estate business, Trump was infamously known for not paying contractors and, like his father, a systemically reputational and racially bigoted “gonif.” The subsequent public revelation of his amoral, incapable, and bizarre inclinations did precious little to diminish his demonstrated popular acceptability. The election and re-election of such a pernicious, egocentric, and persona to the National Presidency gave us pause and raised disturbing questions as to the essential quality of the Nation’s electorate who supported his ascendance to the Oval Office

Neither his demonstrated incapability, his serial mendacity, his neurotically singular, exclusive self-interest, his disregard of the Constitution and the rule of law, his unorthodox behavior and paranoid conspiracy ideations, his unabashed criminal acts, nor his vaunted sexually abusive behavior and general amoral behavior seemed to diminish his virtual tidal wave of support. We were, to put it simply, discombobulated, but also deeply concerned about the impact on our democracy of the (non-Jeffersonian) quality of the citizenry.

The oceans, however, are not empirically static as demonstrated by their tidal waves and alterations engendered by other significant actions of the ocean. such as their daily tides and other natural phenomena.

The ultimate revelation of the falsity of Trump’s “snake oil” demagogic promises of immediate improvement of the Nation’s economic scene, notably, consumer prices, his dystopic and illegal employment of a distopian masked and uniformed private army to arrest, incarcerate, and deport innocent, productive, taxpaying Hispanic Americans, without a scintilla of due process, solely founded upon their tan skin and use of Spanish language, his unauthorized, barbarous and hubristic demolition of the East Wing of the Nation’s venerated White House, to construct a personally deemed, appropriate, 300 million dollar ballroom, concommitant with his inhumane elimination of food and medical assistance to the needy, plus his autocratic and illegal domestic, use of the military, has dramatically reversed the direction of his former tide of support and initiated a consequential tsunami of “NO KINGS” opposition. To utilize the theme and title of this writing, “The tide has (beneficially) turned.”

We are looking forward to the expeditious arrival of a calm sea for the progress of our Ship of State.

BLOGPOST #  M.392 “OMENS”

We have come to consider that certain experiences of Mankind are not only notable for their temporal impact but can be perceived as evincing nuanced, symbolic meaning. Such analogous perception can symbolically amount to the positive affirmation of human behavioral experience or contrasting instructive warnings. There are as many such symbolic messages as there exist personal inclinations for such contemplative symbolism. The sensitivity and interpretation of such analogical symbols may be universal or singularly nuanced.

In thematic illustration of such universal symbolic messages, we would proffer the following ubiquitously shared experiences and our personal perception of the symbolic message, reasonably derived:

[Chernobyl and Fuhishima]: These colossal disasters empirically warn of the horrific, dystopic consequences of erroneous or accidental operation of nuclear power plants.

They are also capable of a perceived symbolic message as to the mortal danger undertaken by Man’s tampering with Nature. Such a dire warning was similarly expressed in our interpretation of Mary Shelly’s Victorian novel, “Frankenstein.

[ The Holocaust]: This incomparably evil event, in which upwards of 6,000,000 Jewish souls were programmatically murdered, is unparalleled in the annals of the human history of prejudice and hatred of “other” human beings.

The horrific record of this hellish event is capable of being seen as a dire warning of the existence and eternal sub-rosa endurance of the primitive capacity of Homo Sapiens for atrocious evil, as well as contrasting demonstrable beneficial humanism.

[Penicillin] The discovery and use of Penicillin (Alexander Fleming, 1928) was a singularly beneficial medical event in the treatment of himan infection and disease.

The conceivable symbolic message of the celebrated event broadcasts the aspirational belief in the ultimate capability of medical science to cure not only bacterially caused disease, but to effectively challenge and to eliminate all of humanity’s medical problems. We hope this symbolic message of hope is realized.

[Twin Towers] This singular event, 9/11/01, was a shock and surprise to all of America, and doubtless, the international free world.

Symbolically, and instructively, 9/11 eternally represents the extent of reach of vulnerability and danger of humanity to atavistic acts of war.

[ Donald J.Trump’s Barbaric Destruction of the East Wing of The White House]:

This idiopathic Trumpian-hubristic act of barbaric vandalism was not only ostensibly evil, but also instructive as to the singularly self-interested, non-socialized quality of the singularly decrepit and bizarre persona of Donald J. Trump. It is revealing of his neurotic and amoral aspiration for unlimited power and positive self-regard. This event, together with a dumpster-full, foetid accumulation of Trump detritus, would be pragmatically avoidable by the empirically responsible process of protecting the Republic by the exigently necessary, ()non-partisan) vetting of all aspirants to the American Presidency.

Blogpost # M. 391 “VERSIMILITUDE”

The title of this writing may be seen as a bit cryptic or passe; however, it is among our favorite words in the English-American lexicon. It appears to evoke a stronger sense of moral rectitude than its synonym, “believability.” Even more dynamically virtuous is the word “veracity,” which furthers the beneficial concept to its ultimate utility in its ultimately meaningful synonym, “accuracy.”

The universal assumption and eternal reliance on truth and accuracy are inarguably among the most fundamentally seminal phenomena for the existence and duration of society; without such reliance, interactive communication, both mundane or existentially vital, would be meaningless. From the standpoint of moral responsibility, intentional mendacity is reprehensible; from an empirical consideration, it is ultimately futile.

Yet, the phenomenon of verbal perfidy seems to abide, anecdotally or systemically, in the human experience and constitutes a characterological blemish on the guilty persona. In the interest of charity, we can forgive the one-time prevaricator who fearfully dissembles in the course of an especially exigent occasion,

Our contextual concern thematically relates to the errant individuals manifesting the reprehensible trait of serial mendacity. Such individuals. would presumably seem to arrogate to themselves an intimate, private sense of superiority or situational dominance over those on whom they successfully practice their antisocial and unscrupulous deception.

It would seem to be the case that once one is publicly branded with the unscrupulous designation of “liar,” it endures, in analogous fashion to the non-eradicable blemish of ‘child molester,” or ‘alcoholic.”

The classical French essayist, Michel De Montaigne, in his essay #9, “On Liars,” wisely observes that “liars require a good memory.” []N.B., the latter pragmatically mandatory trait, notably lacking in the Nation’s present Chief Executive.]

Blogpost # M. 390 SOME AUTUMNAL MUSINGS

Earlier in life, we perennially mourned the end of the warm, verdant Summer and the sad advent of the season of vegetative decay, mass recusal of forest critters, and departure of many attractive species of birds, concurrent with the progressive curtailment of daylight, and the eternal promise of colder weather.

However, as successive decades passed, such a dire perception, by degrees, abated and empirically morphed into a positive anticipation of the universal advent of a perennial restoration, which mollified our temporal discontent and, by gradual degrees, ultimately metamorphosed into a blissful anticipation of the coming season’s eternal restoration of natural verdance and the joyous return of its residential denizens.

In the interim, we programatically awaited, in tandem with the soft rustling and occasional nose wrinkling of underground hibernating furry forest critters, their muted sleeping sounds subtly broadcast to the assorted inert seeds and floral bulbs, patiently awaiting the Planet’s dramatic cue to commence their dynamic chemical vitality; all, in tandem with the seasonally warming temperature and slowly melting frozen ponds, the latter dynamic soon to provide an available playground for the returning waterfowl, the accumulated wind-dispersed dry grass and fallen bird feathers, to be employed as construction materials for new avian nests, the sundry embedded nuts and acorns awaiting germination, the hard buds anticipating their timely blossoming, the loud-snoring black bears hard asleep alongside their furry newborn cubs, enjoing their familial long winter sleep pending the annual arrival of the primavera and sleepy awakening.

It is our present view that Autumn is as much a season of promise as it is an ambiance of withered leaves, migration of birds, and hibernation of forest inhabitants.  It is, conceivably, a symbolically instructive primer on our thematic analogy between the salubrious response to the universal season of rest and repose and the dynamics of subsequent restoration and renewal.

Our venerated democracy is presently confronted with an unprecedented, “hard winter” of autocratic mismanagement and anti-democratic rule. Pending the predictable “withering” of such calamitous political season, we can do well by ourselves and the Nation, to analogize the dynamics of our perennial hope and anticipation of the universal advent of the warmer season replacing the undesirable season of sterility and cold with the fertile and desirable warm season, to the rationally expected season of its historically inherent fertile and admirable democracy.

Blogpost # M. 389 A DARWINIAN GLITCH

Like many other mainstream American citizens, we have tried in vain to fathom the unique and unparalleled persona of Donald J. Trump. In the pursuit of such “Quixotic” aspiration, we have haplessly attempted to employ such end, various and sundry descriptive adjectives as: “unconventional,” “egocentric,” “self-absorbed,” “domineering,” “extroverted,” “insular,” “detached,” “amoral,” “hubristic,” and, even, “sociopathic” All of the latter terms are empirically applicable, but, nevertheless, hopelessly inadequate. To borrow a term, ubiquitously employed in technical matters, Trump is characterized and motivated by his own singular “algorithm.” The latter phenomenon might, conceivably, be attributed to a lack of normalized socialization or, contextually, to an empirically rare, innate, atavistic inclination.

Our proposed attribution for the dynamics of Trump’s demonstrated primitive mindset and unregulated anti-societal behavior is, we believe, founded on the empirical conception of empirically nuanced, individualized variations in the evolutionary progress of Man’s stages of human development. It is instructive, regarding our orangutan-hair-colored protagonist, that, in sharp contrast with a remarkably advanced member of the species Homo Sapiens, like Isaac Newton, Trump would appear to reveal an observable “glitch ” in such presumed non-uniform evolutionary process.

Trump has demonstrated a systematic inability to grasp factual reality, and in his evidently anachronistic state of vestigial development, has consistently manifested a primitively motivated protective self-concern, and a manifestly primative ignorance of societally enlightened concepts such as the “Social Contract,” or any rudimentry abidance to the Constitution or extant rule of law; indeed, of any modertn conception of the most rudimentary degree of socially accepted moral compass. He has demonstrated the stereotypical traits of a vestigial leftover from the Paleolithic era, beyond the pale of recognition as a member of modern society.

Donald J. Trump’s surprising second term as President has further demonstrated recognizeably atavistic traits viz., lust for unlimited power, autocratic obedience, aggressive sexual misconduct, unparalleled greed, illiterate incapability, absence of empathic consideration such as denying governmental programs of sustenence and medical treatment to 30 million American citizens, and firing thousands of dedicated and vitally important federal employees and discharginfg vitally important agencies, purportedly to avoid “waste of money” while dissonantly and hubristicly promoting grandiose hubristic projects, including the primitive and unauthorized act of smashing down the historically venerated East Wing of the White House, to build a multi-million dollar Grand Ballroom in his regal honor.

The defective, incompletely humanized Donald Trump has in primitive tribal chief fashion, raised a masked and uniformed private Army to rid the Nation of his conception of undesirables (easily identified by their tan skin), primatively and ignorantly taken to wage war on foreign sea-going vessels, and (similarly, without the legal approval oif Congress) imposed great and economically disasterous tariffs on the Nation’s trading partners thereby mindlessly exacerbated the frising cost of living. Like a Stone Age chieftan, he has decreed the criminal prosecution of persons perceived by him to be political enemies, and has demonstrated a universally erratic and singular course of action, more in keeping with the style and presumption of a Stone Age Tribal Chieftan.

Trump may have the distinct and singular honor of being the first (and, hopefully, the last) human “glitch” in the long, variegated assembly line of Darwinian Evolution.
