Donald Trump Living A Life of Delusion and Destruction, And Yes, We Shall Overcome

  

Citizens of the United States and other of countries of the world, are being negatively impacted by an emotionally ill and cognitively limited Donald Trump. He lives in a delusional world where he sees himself as the ‘retribution’. For Trump anyone who disagrees with him, or does not behave in support of his ideas, will or ways will be punished. In the vernacular, it’s ‘his way or the highway.’ He invites all who feels similarly disregarded as he, to be their source of retribution, as well. In this regard, he identifies with Jesus and Nelson Mandela. 

 

To start with, my experience of Trump is that he is a racist, a misogynist, and a ‘want to be elitist.’ He is someone who views himself in grandiose terms when others see him as a sociopath, a pathological liar, and someone who generally does not care about anyone else but himself. Women are eye candy and the means for sexual pleasure. The only skin color that is acceptable to him is white. He views anyone who is black or dark skinned as a nonbeing. And immigrants ‘are poisoning the blood of American citizens.’  

 

His idea is to do what is in his best interest and to hell with anyone else. He craves being the center of attention and ingratiates himself in relation to a Putin to bask in the sense of being important to someone he views as being important.

 

As a sociopath, he cares not about others needs or feelings. In his role as punishing those who do not support or agree with him, he can cut programs that are essential for their life and wellbeing. People can lose their source of income, go without medical care, and not have the money for shelter or food. Children can go without food and medical care.

 

He is a dictator and not a President. He could care less about the Constitution, what is Constitutional, that we have three separate but equal branches of government with powers of checks and balances, that all are equal before the law, that we all can vote and have our vote counted, and that we can engage in freedom of speech without the fear of retribution.

 

With Trump his ‘retribution’ is nothing but punishment against those who don’t support him. His actions are unconstitutional. His approach is to play ‘catch me if you can’ with the Courts when he behaves in ways that go against the Constitution. His scatter gun approach to misbehaving makes it difficult for there to be any form of immediate consequence for single acts of misbehavior. His rounding up ‘immigrants’ and flying them to other countries violated the Due Process Clause of the Constitution and is still being adjudicated in the courts. 

 

He is against anything that speaks truth to power.  He wants to do away with the truth regarding historical  based political movements.  He wants to do away with schools because schools teach people about history and critical thinking. He wants to do away with programs that support diversity, equality, and inclusion in all aspects of life. Such programs support the equality of all people, and he wants to do away with such a collective sense of equality.

 

Trump wants to overcome his sense of ignorance and insecurity by being a dictator overseeing what is truth. He wants to do away with anything that gets in the way of such a path. His delusion knows no boundaries as does his disregard for the needs and feelings of others. 

 

A part of his ignorance and delusional thinking is that he is unaware of the fact that without a sense of caring and compassion, there cannot be a sense of community. If we don’t treat others as we would want to be treated, there will be no ability to understand, forgive or heal as a community. Our task is to treat others as we would want to be treated, to understand, forgive and heal. That is who we are as Americans. In so doing, yes, we shall overcome this season of delusional thinking and destruction.

 

 

 

 

The President Who Isn’t, and Never Should Have Been

 Donald Trump should have never been allowed to run for or enter the Oval Office. To begin with, he is guilty of 34 felonies. He is guilty of actively attempting to overturn the 2020 election by having the votes in certain key states that were cast against him, instead counted on his behalf. He inspired and participated in the January 20^th attempt to overrun the Capitol and prevent the peaceful transition of power. He was impeached twice by the Congress. 

He is guilty of sexually forcing himself upon E. Jean Carroll and then defamed her when he denied her claim and stated that ‘she wasn’t his type.’ A jury awarded Carrol a judgment in the tens-of-millions of dollars. In addition, dozens of other women have accused him of sexual misconduct. His basic way of avoiding legal consequences is to use a ‘catch me if you can’ approach to avoid being taken to court. 

 

He has broken the law by issuing threats of retaliation and personal injury to those who have spoken out against him and their family members. This, alone, could lead him to a jail sentence.

 

He ran for the office of President and, instead was, intent on becoming a dictator.  He behaves as though he does not believe in the Constitution, he says he did not swear to protect and defend the Constitution, he does not support a government of the people, by the people and for the people. He does not believe in the checks and balances of the three equal branches of government. He does not believe in the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which ‘prevents a President, or any officeholder from receiving any gift, payment or other object or service of value from a foreign state or its rulers, officers, or representatives.’ He has cashed in on sizeable income and holdings from outside governments and sources that have added to his personal wealth. 

 

Members of the mental health community have long considered him to be a Sociopath, someone who does not care about other people’s needs or feelings and wants to always be the center of attention. He is considered someone who is a pathological liar, where he will say one thing and then later will reverse what he has said previously. What are people to believe?

 

His sociopathy continually shows itself in his disregard for addressing and meeting the needs of our citizens and those who we have supported overseas with the providing of food and medical care.  He has cut programs that will cause death and suffering on the part of those who have been in medical testing trials for years.

 

His cutting of staff and wiping out departments in human services are another example of his utter disregard of how his decisions will adversely impact others. His talking about doing away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of Education are just a few of those specific departments that would ruin people’s lives and, he could care less. His support of a woman not having the right to an abortion or supportive medical services around the termination of a fetus is another example of his disregard for women needs and feelings. His disregard for the needs and feelings of others was evident when he was in construction. He would often not pay for materials and labor after the work had been done.

 

Over the years he has become more and more incoherent in his thinking and in his verbalizing of his thoughts. One example of his diminished thinking process that stands out in my memory was during the COVID Pandemic, COVID testing was taking place as a matter of course. Many, during that time, were infected by the virus and tested positive. In a speech, Trump said that one way to cut back on so many people testing positively for the virus would be to do less testing, and he meant it. This was during the time that he suggested the injecting of bleach might also help those who have come down with the virus. His thinking process has become viewed as limited. 

 

He has developed the nickname ‘Dumb-Dumb Donald’ in various circles. Most recently, his inability to comprehend that tariffs will not fix our economy, and instead Tariffs will cost those who purchase a product from outside the United States, more is on full display for all to see.

 

His selection of Cabinet Members also reflects his ignorance. He selects people with no experience in the area that they are to administer. Robert Kennedy is an example of someone with no experience in medicine who is to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He is an antivaccine advocate who promotes his biases. He has been known to have been responsible for people not getting Measles vaccines and for those populations of people to become infected, as a result. This became painfully evident in Samoa where, because of people not getting vaccinated the death rate increased appreciably. 

 

God forbid, if we might get into a major altercation with others, and we only have ignorant people directing our countries attempt to cope with whatever the issues are that are causing the national upset. Trump is an ignorant, shoot from the hip kind of guy who tries to talk his way out of difficulties. There are times when that approach will only worsen matters. 

 

And finally, this man presents as a racist and as a misogynist. His comment that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our citizens’

and, as a result should be removed from the United States is one example of his racist tendencies. Due Process rights are being disregarded for both noncitizens andcitizens who have come from other countries. With Trump, people from either group can be rounded up and sent back to their country of origin.

 

His view of women was presented for all to see on the Access Hollywood Tape. His attempting to seduce a married woman might start with a kiss…’when you are a star, they let you do it. You can do anything…grab them by the pussy…you can do anything.’

 

Is this the person that you want to be the leader of our country? Is he the role model that we want to have for our children? Is he someone who you can trust will be able to appreciate what you or your family are coping with in life? Do you trust his judgment in relation to anything? Again, Donald Trump is The President Who Isn’t, and Never Should Have Been.
