Blogpost # M. 421 THE SOUND AND FURY*

As disconcerted and angry as we may be, relative to the myriad criminal, unconstitutional, inhumane, and immoral acts of our sitting President, our fear for the future of the American Nation is paramount. To describe our trepidation in analogical terms, we would liken its nature to a parent’s concern for his young child, daily driven over bumpy country roads by a reputed, inebriated School Bus driver.

The populist election of Donald Trump boded well, solely, for those captains of industry who sociopathically exalt profits over human and planetary salubrity. Donald J. Trump, declaring the demagogic “snake oil” meme, “Make America Great Again,” From the first day following his inauguration, Trump incompetently assisted America’s enemies by virtue of his overriding neurotic aspiration for perceived public admiration and personal grandification. Future historians will have the pragmatic benefit of countless dumpster-fulls of fetid detritus engendered by his egocentric delusion and empirically hapless incapability.

Nonetheless, as egregious as his opprobrious acts and policies have proved to be, our responsive outrage has been fundamentally overshadowed by an abject fear for the endurance of our democratic Nation, founded upon his discernable insanity. Trump’s obvious lack of reality orientation, motivated by his self-serving delusion, has proven to be palpable proof of his evident lack of mental health. We would briefly recount several instances, illustrative of the basis for our thematic declarations.

(a) During the course of his campaign for the Presidency, Trump publicly announced that he would rule (“the first day”) as a dictator. The same was an untoward and highly inappropriate declaration in a democratic election.

(b) As President, Trump outrageously claimed his intention to acquire Denmark’s Greenland, make our sovereign neighbor, Canada, a State of the Union, take back the Panama Canal, and rename the historic “Gulf of Mexico” to the “Bay of America.” The dystopic assertions are a diagnosable denial of history and the right of sovereignty.

(c) In a Nation historically featuring two major competing political parties, he has been engaged in implementing his paranoid declaration to seek “retribution” against members of the historically competing Democratic Party.

(d) Contrary to the anti-monarchial theme of the Founders, Donald Trump egotistically installed gold leaf throughout the White House in the manner of the past European Monarchist Palaces, he was a European Monarch, a style eschewed by the Founders. We are advised that the White House restrooms have also been thus enriched. He has arrogated to himself the monomaniacal authority to destroy the historic East Wing of the Nation’s (“The People’s) White House to construct a large and Ballroom, named after himself; in addition to its irrational hubris and philisophical travesty to American history, the progect will cost many millions of dollars, at a time when many Americans are living “paycheck to paycheck”.

(e) Donald J. Trump has unprecedentedly chosen to raise a private, masked army to harass and incarcerate Hispanic Americans, incarcerating and banishing them, as claimed criminals without a modicum of due process. He has also, in illegal and kinglike fashion, used the Nation’s military for his perceived domestic necessity. These latter acts, justified by “Executive Order: are irrational and contrary to the basic tenets of our Republican Democracy, as well as notably erratic.

(f) Without mandatory Congressional authority, Trump has declared War against Venezuela, bombing small boats on the high seas and murdering its sailors, on the spurious grounds that such warlike action is interdicting the importation of drugs.

(g) Donald J. Trumo has demonstrated not only his delusional hubris and dystopic sdense of reality, as shown by “(e) and “(f)”, above, and futher demonstrated by his delusional ideation and public declaration that the Nation’s economy is in excellent condition and the cost of consumer goods is lower than ever; the latter two irrational declarations, empirically far from the contrary sane observation that both are decidedly false; and notably, the result of his irrational and ignorant policies, most especially his inappropriate imposition of tariffs on our trading partners

(h) His unauthorized declaration of War against Venezuela, including the bombing of small boats and the illegal murder of Venezuelan sailors.

(i) Publicly and bizarrely announcing his felt entitlement to the Nobel Prize, despite his warlike and pathological acts set forth above, particularly, “(g)” and “(h).” Arranging to be publicly awarded (non-existent) “FIFA Peace Prize” his public declaration that the thousands of young soldiers interred at Arlington National Cemetery were “suckers” and “losers” and, emblematic of his warped persona, asked, “What was in it for them?”

(j) Hubristically and delusionally changing the name of the Kennedy Cultural and Arts Center to include “The Trump Center,” whereas empirically, the hubristic, egocentric neurotic deserves the equal cultural and artistic recognition as “Godzilla.

Article 25 of the U.S. Constitution clearly states the procedure for the removal of a disabled President. We would urge Congress to utilize this provision before Trump and his side-show menagerie of Cabinet Advisors demonstrate more grave damage to our beloved Democratic Republic.
