The Trump debacle is one ever-flowing firehose of contaminated effluence, a never-ending and infuriating case of excuse making, diversions, and CYA. The hope of this administration is to throw up enough mindlessness to de-sensitize and wear us down.
The Donald’s performance at Davos was nothing short of troubling, though his backers will say it was pure Donald genius. Supposedly, his strategy worked to perfection: threaten invasion—OF GREENLAND— along with tariffs and damage to the NATO alliance, and then back off when it looks like he gets what he wants, or the DJIA does a tumble.
Does he really know what he wants? When it comes to leadership and vision and governance, is there any indication that he knows what he’s doing? He wants a peace prize but then orders an invasion of Venezuela. He is actually given the peace prize as a sort of pacifier, but still threatens to invade a sovereign territory.
He says he will tighten the borders—which has happened—but then he creates a goon squad commissioned with spreading cold-hearted fear among people who, for the most part, are already fearful and just looking for a safe space to live and work and make their way through life. Tren de Aragua and Antifa become cliched buzzwords, vengeance and deceit continue to rule the day.
He loses his train of thought with some regularity; he wanders around during meetings—physically and verbally. He probably thinks that the polar vortex we’ve been seeing is a sign that there’s nothing wrong with the environment—even though this intensity is indicative of melting sea ice and warmer water contributing to all this cold spreading more extensively than ever.
Nothing this administration does should be left unexamined, because there are others involved behind the scenes, maybe even running the show. Trump, to some extent, is a hapless moron, drunk on power, always angry at somebody, doing whatever he can to outrun those damned Epstein files.
Donald… did you have something to do with the death of your bestie?
