There is a stark difference between the mystery novels, “whodunits,” of writers like Agatha Christie, ex., “Murder on the Orient Express,” and those regarding the dynamics of murder by the Trump Administration. In Agatha Christie’s stylized fiction, the killer is unknown but ultimately identified by characters such as the doughty Miss Marple or the elegant and suave Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
In contrast, relative to the plethora of criminal acts of Donald Trump, the criminal perpetrator is never in doubt, and the ubiquitous acts of horrific crime, bizarrely televised to the viewing public. The felonious telephone call to the Georgia Secretary of State, illegally requesting an alteration of the State’s Pfresidential vote count, the unprecedented incitement and support of a violent and bloody insurrection against the Washington Capitol Building, the illegal and seditious purloining of top secret government documents for irresponsible storage in his country club’s accessible bathroom, the improper association with foreign despots, like Putin and Orban, as well as with unsavory personalities like Jeremy Epstein and with seditious leaders of White, Christian Militas, Trump’s revealed payments of “hush money” to evade public notice of his brisk business with prostitutes. The publicly televised revelation of these and other morally reprehensible acts makes the sensitive citizen hesitant to imagine the full dumpster of Trump miscreance, “off camera.”
Of all of Trump’s malevolent, heinous, and calamitous acts, displayed on public television, his direction of the bombing of small sea-going vessels, killing their crews, is the most dramatic, and conceivably, the most demonstrative of the extent of his pathologically monarchical hubris. The deadly bombings have been condemned by legal experts as a war crime and plain murder. Notably, Trump’s alcoholic and incompetent Secretary of Defense ordered the “killing of everyone on board.”
There would appear to be scant need for the investigative services of a Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot, since the psychopathic miscreant is once more publicly identified and empirically recognizable.
It is our contemplative assumption that the leading manufacturers of cookware products remain anxious to ascertain the chemical composition of the Teflon-like substance that ubiquitously prevents overdue, appropriate repercussions for Trump’s criminal and homicidal malignity.
