At various times, we have chosen to employ the adjectival phrase “mauvaise enfant” in the portrayal of the outre persona and bizarre behavior of Donald Trump. Our reference has been accompanied by the analogical example of the needy-neurotic young child who opts to kick his mother painfully in the shin to secure her singular notice, fully aware of the retributive consequences.
Whatever may empirically be said about our orange-hair-dyed protagonist regarding his systemically hapless incompetence and miscreant behavior, he has, inarguably, been a theatrical success in drawing attention to himself, by a plethora of public, startlingly irrational and incompetent acts and statements. It may well be that inappropriate “shin-kicking” is notably effective, as empirically demonstrated by his adult ruddy visage and bizarre declarations, being a quotidian and regular occurrence on public television
In the attraction of public attention, repugnant or otherwise, Trump has sucessfully enjoyed the attractive and irresistible power of the aesthetically repugnant, albeit empirically irresistible, sight of highway “roadkill.”
The dumpster-full loads of domestic and international, immoral, incapable, and unconstitutional acts and statements of the singularly irrational,” orange hazmat” presently occupying the Oval Office have been referenced in many of our previous writings. The decline in standing of our previously venerable Nation, domestically and internationally, can be irrefutably attributed to Trump and his MAGA populists. The historical and moral tragedy is among the dangers of the universal voting franchise which bears the systemic impediment of a large population of inadequately educated and poorly informed citizens.
In intolerable and shocking addition to Trump’s autocratic denigration of the Constitution, Rule of law, and notably, the societal moral compass, he has now disgraced the Nation by his public use of the obscene vocabulary often seen scrawled on the walls of public bathrooms. This is a new and bizarrely offensive practice that can be said to be highly objectionable when employed by the ordinary populist citizen, but shocking, and adjectivally indescribable, when employed by the President.
More than socially and officially abhorrent, in our view, it is a cogent, clinical symptom of progressive mental decline and constitutes appropriate and responsible grounds for immediate removal under the Constitutional provisions applicable to Presidential impairment. The questionable reluctance to apply such provisions ought to be responsibly overridden by the potential for danger to the Nation.
