Madman in the White House

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Whatever political perspective you may come from on this presidents day; I think most will agree that the first month of Trump in the white house has been anything but dull & uneventful.  The futile foot dragging by the democrats on cabinet confirmations isn’t accomplishing much beyond making divisive party politics a permanent stalemate; and of course to further anger the fuhrer, Herr Twitler.  

Now the spin doctors, along with Trump loyalists like Spicer and Conway are doing all they can think of to distract from the one thing all of this has come to be about; and that folks is treason, as defined in the Logan Act.  Flat out un-deniable TREASON, simple as that!

Trump and his entire regime are guilty of treason under the Logan Act for repeated conversations with the Russians during the campaign, to skew the election in Trump’s favor.  As it turns out; several of Trump’s advisors and aides spoke to Russian operatives on several occasions, as well as General Flynn.  It also seems highly likely that Trump knew of/if not ordered the illegal contacts.  The actual reality of things for the sake of some clarity is that Trump didn’t fire Flynn; he fired acting attorney general Sally Yates, who warned him about Flynn. 

What makes Trump complicit in this beyond the fact that he chose Flynn, is that he kept  him for a full 17 days after Flynn lied to the vice president!  In those 17 days Trump was trying to figure a way to keep Flynn; so he is just as guilty as Flynn himself.  This cowardly traitor Trump tries to blame the whole mess on Hillary???  That is nothing less that Trump’s insanity showing through once again,for all to see.  How by any stretch of logic can he possibly connect anything to her?   Have you noticed yet that with this one, it is always somebody else’s fault, Trump never admits being wrong or making mistakes.  Does it seem healthy to you that a grown adult man should say such childish things, over and over?

As the Flynn treason was grabbing the headlines Andrew Puzder, Trump’s appointed secretary of labor withdrew when his history of wife abuse was outed by Oprah.  Meanwhile: a Russian spy ship is snooping on us 35 miles off  the east coast, and Russian jets are buzzing US ships in the black sea…poking & provoking our new president Bannon to see how he will react.  Meanwhile Trump poses for even more executive order signings.

The entire security apparatus of our country is literally up in the air.  With damaging leaks pouring forth from disgruntled government personnel every day; Trump is focused on his twitter rants, a carnival of lies press conference, and a re-election campaign rally!  After blasting Obama for taking too many vacations, Trump flees to his Floridawhite house every weekend so far and that is all at taxpayers expense.  Also paid for by taxpayers are all living expenses for secret service & travel related to Trump’s wife and youngest son who aren’t yet on the white house staff.

Trump’s first solo press conference was 77 minutes of lies, and alternative reality; starting with some old lies about the new Boeing contract for 2 new Air Force One planes.  As he often does Trump ignored the fact that the planes in question are to replace the current ones but not for several years in the future, claiming he killed the contract to save money.  For the third time now Trump also took credit for pulling us out of the TPP- except the TRUTH happens to be we were never signed onto that accord, so there was nothing for us to pull out of.  Trump makes stuff up to claim credit for when he actually did nothing, and the lie is so transparent.  Those are the actions of a child.  Simple as that!

 Trump opened the farce conference with his newest lie “My administration is a finely tuned machine” which is as absurd as it can be with all the calamity of spies, leaks, and firings.  Now, before you just pass that by, take a second look.  Doesn’t it sound a bit like what he said about his inauguration speech when he said it stopped raining for him to talk (no it didn’t) and that he saw “a million and a half people” (who were not there).  Only the very young or the very disturbedhave such a loose grip on reality.  When a fully grown adult behaves this way consistently it is a problem.  When that man is also the president it becomes more than a problem, it becomes a national disgrace.

Trump continued his litany of lies with the claims that “ Russia is a ruse” & “Mine was highest ever electoral college vote count.”  Trump actually had the 5th worst number of electoral votes not to mention loosing by 3 million popular votes.  He only accepts questions from alt-right media outlets which favor him.  Perhaps most bizarrely he claims that the firing of Flynn was somehow Hillary Clintons fault.  Once again he shows us that he is incapable of letting things go…why is he still campaigning against Hillary? WTF???

Taking a page out of the Adolph Hitler book of fascism; during his press conference Trump ranted on about how the established media are all fake news and should be ignored.  This is the first step towards his goal of eliminating news media altogether.  Simultaneously he will be making calculated moves to also eliminate the same judiciary branch which struck down his illegal and immoral Muslim ban.

Now I would be first to agree that the state of the fifth estate is woefully degenerated from it’s lofty duty to a free and independent nation.  It really isn’t freedom when you get to choose your own master; and when all media in America is owned by just 6 corporationsit ain’t media any longer, it’s propaganda.  Having acknowledged that, I must also say that just because they became self-serving and corrupt is no reason to do away with news media.  Corruption can be fixed after a while.

Speaking of campaigning, on Saturday Feb. 18 trump held his first re-election rally in a Floridaaircraft hangar where he mostly repeated the lies he told to get elected, with a sprinkling of new lies he just made up.  Really?!?  With his administration faltering right out of the gates; Isis threats, a Russian spy ship cruising up & down our eastern coastline, not to mention the whole Russian hacking and violations of the  Logan act treasonous behavior from his staff…he holds a rally to get re-elected?? 

OK folks, here’s the deal.  Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist, which is actually three personality disordersat once; and the only purpose of the Floridarally was  because he is addicted to the applauseand adulation, he simply cannot give it up.  Of course he covers this up with the lie that he wants to speak “directly to America” without the filter of “fake news” but it is all about getting that fix.  So I guess unless we get rid of the madman in the white house, we’d best get used to these ego rallies every other weekend.

 

The two things the Trump regime will try to destroy next will be the free press and the judiciary branch of government.  They are always the first targets in any fascist takeover, and it will be no different this time.  They are calling Trump’s cabinet the demolition team with key government agencies being headed by those who have tried openly to destroy them.  Plunder monkeys.

Trump’s administration has become a 3-ring circus where every day there’s a new scandal, or outlandish lies or just whatever they trot out to distract us from what undoubtedly will go down as the largest, worst and most destructive instance of political treason against America.  This will not be over until Trump and his entire crew of criminals are removed from office and placed immediately in Gitmo to await their trials for treason and other high crimes.

 

In an interview not long ago, Steve Bannon made the remark that Trump is “their” blunt instrument, and that he didn’t think Trump hadn’t figured it out yet.  I ask, does that sound to you like “a white house running like a fine tuned machine“?  By blunt instrument, Bannon refers to their use of Trump as the court jester to entertain, outrage and in other ways deflect attention away from what’s being done in the background, away from prying eyes and ears.  While we are distracted with Trump’s antics, tweets and blustering bullshit; the Bannon Brigade is stealing America‘s wealth as they cut away at our country’s foundations, weakening us enough for the jackals to finish us off as the brigade slips away in the night.  

The daily leaks indicating a white house in turmoil are coming from the same intelligence agencies,president-elect Trump disparaged, and  who are not exactly comprised of liberals; so when they get freaked out enough to break the law in defense of the country; you can bet it’s serious shit.  It isn’t exactly a Washingtonsecret that the Kennedy assassination took place mere weeks after he vowed to destroy the CIA.  Even without that; a sane man does not go about insulting the cadre of professional assassins who are now working for him.  Not a fight a sane manwould want anything to do with.

Trump has also just signed a new “executive order” giving the police much broader powers and authority, which just takes us one notch closer to a full on police state. He also has plans to use the national guard to enforce the forceful deportations of thousands.   

Apparently in retaliation for the court shooting down the Muslim ban, Trump sent ICE troopers across Trumpland to arrest known illegal immigrants who have been here for decades in some cases; essentially using Obama’s “Deferred action for childhood arrivals” (DACA) program as a deportation list.  A cowards move, to arrest & deport those who are not causing problems.  Over 700 arrested, so far, with 750,000 names on the DACAlist for trump to pick off.  What a dick move for a fucking coward!!!  Canadian border patrols are reporting a huge upsurge in undocumented people attempting to sneak across the border ever since Trump’s deportation arrests began.

In 1964 when republicans picked Barry M. Goldwater as their presidential candidate it didn’t take reporters and journalists long to remark on reports that Mr. Goldwater suffered from mental illness in some form. In turn several mental health experts of the day also offered their professional prognosis on the subject. This resulted in the formation and adoption of the Goldwater Rule which simply states that no mental health professional should offer  opinions on politicians they haven’t seen personally.  For the most part the psychiatric profession has adhered to the Goldwater rule, until now.

In recent days a rash of mental health professionals have gone public to warn about trump, one has even started a petition to have him removed from office immediately.  Trump has been field diagnosed as having the trifecta of mental disorders known as Malignant Narcissism  which is basically an obsession with one’s self, ego run amok, self aggrandizement is all that matters.  From the prideful boasting to the obsessive lying and outright denial of reality, Trump’s madness has been on parade for all to see.

We ignored it for the 18 months of the campaign because we thought it was funny and it seemed he’d never win.  Well he did “win” (Alternative loosing)with some help from Russian hackers.  Oh yeah, at first there is a little schadenfreudewhen we see the wheels falling off the Trump regime, but that is short lived indeed when we remember that we ourselves might not survive the crash.  It ain’t funny anymore, is it?

Now we must go back and revisit all of those instances when Trumps words and antics made decent Americans cringe, even some who voted for him are cringing nowadays.  We must return to those many video clips we laughed or cursed at, and take a very close look at the madman in the white house, because in case you hadn’t noticed, he’s recently doubled down on the insanity. 

With the list of criteria mandatory to become the president, why isn’t a professional independent psychological examination required??  It has been stated ad nauseous that the reasonfor having the electoral college is to prevent a madman from ever becoming president.  Well folks, we can now scrap the electoral college because greedy men found a way to use it to install a madman ego lunatic to the presidency so they can loot the country blind as we stand dumbfounded and transfixed with the bumbling clown show that is Donald J. Trump.  Simple as that. 

Some said during the campaign that Trump would change once elected and we wouldn’t

see all the childish ego pandering and boasting.  Well here we are just 30 mind numbing days after inauguration and the only change he’s made is to get even crazier than before; pushing the country closer each day to total fascism.  

People got upset because Hillarytook some work home with her, but that is NOTHINGcompared to trump who is still using his old (unsecured) Android phone; and who conducted a national emergency security meeting at an open access restaurant…even pointing out the Marine by name who carries the nuclear football.  The Japanese prime minister was his dinner guest when Trump got the emergency news that North Korea just conducted a missile test.  Instead of going to a more private and secure location, Trump and aides got their briefings and looked at data right in the open restaurant.  There is a word for that, and it is Incompetence.  As long as Trump’s gigantic ego could soak up the limelight by looking so important: nothing else matters.

The true hallmark of the malignant narcissist is they always accuse others of being guilty of what they themselves are guilty of.  Keep this in mind whenever you hear Trump accusing others of being Nazi’s or traitors.  Another classic trait of these type people is that they never take responsibility for anythingunless it makes them look good.  During his press conference, when pressed by a reporter challenging his boast of having the highest number of electoral votes, Trump instantly backpedaled; claiming “I was given that information.“ 

You see, in the ego-centric reality of the narcissist they are the quintessential Artful Dodgernever being wrong, never having to apologize because they see themselves as perfect.  Anything not in harmony or agreement with the narcissistic world view and self image is ignored, ridiculed, or attacked; according to the threat level posed in the moment.  It is perhaps worth noting here that the mask worn by the narcissist is neither effortless or foolproof.  It takes a lot of energy to maintain outward appearances while simultaneously shielding the ego from outside reality.  Masks can slip, crack and break under extreme stress or emotional upheaval.

Many narcissists such as Donald Trump leave a wake of failed marriages and broken families behind them because if they remarry quickly they can maintain the mask of perfection by seeing themselves as the one who is desirable, adorable and perfect.  Always looking to shift the blame anywhere else.  The thing is, and this is key; if they should falter, if their mask should slip revealing the diseased mind behind it, that is when they are the most dangerous, volatile and unpredictable.

Malignant narcissists are true masters of equivocation, prevarication, and projecting their guilt upon others.  These things are as easy for them as breathing is for us, and as with breathing, it’s an automatic reflex thing; it’s their nature.  Unfortunately, the medical professions do not consider narcissism to be a disease as such, because the narcissist does not suffer from the condition; only those they prey upon suffer and in this case that means it’s humanity versus Trump.

Narcissists are also fond of gaslighting, which is a kind of psychological manipulation of facts, events and people, designed to muddy the waters, shift the narrative, and make one doubt their sanity in general.  Both projecting and deflectionare employed as a means to their devious ways.

Donald Trump literally hounded Obama for years over all that ridiculous birther crap, then refused to say it aloud that he was wrong& it was proven beyond a doubt.  Narcissists simply cannot admit to ever being wrong.  This one, this Trump has to work overtime to keep his enormous ego fed, hence all the rallies afterhe took office.  We have literally created a monster here, one that seems now to require these regular rally events. 

Pretty soon he will run out of bullshit names to call them and will have to admit they are just to keep his ego fully charged.  When his energy runs down the harsh realities of the real world the rest of us live in come crashing into Trumps brain.  He cannot tolerate that; so now that we got him used to adoring, Hitler salutingfans to keep him charged up and fully delusional.  What do you suppose he would be like if he couldn’t get that adoration any more?  

This week Trump announced the creation of a government investigation to look into his delusional claim about “massive voter fraud.“  It matters not to Donald Trump that every single expert in the field agrees that there simply ain’t no such animal;  he “feels” it is true, and so in his personal warped reality that is good enough for him.  When recently asked who he will be relying on in foreign policy matters, he actually said, ” Myself, I have a great mind and I’ve said a lot of things.”  Whether he really conducts an investigation; or steals the funding money doesn’t really matter; either way it’s money that could be better spent fixing the water in Flint, Michigan or helping homeless veterans!

Elsewhere this week in Trumpland, Herr Twitler emulated Conway & Spicer and literally made up a terror attack in Swedenafter they took in many refugees.  It was so egregious that the government of Swedenactually asked for an explanation…what is he talking about?  As it turned out, there were no terror related problems in Sweden!!

In all of his frantic ranting about terrorism this week Trump failed to mention the Florida man who was arrested for plotting to plant bombs in 10 Target stores along the east coast.  How odd Trump wouldn’t mention that at all, not once.  Just another totally bogus, made up terrorist attack in Sweden!

Then there is the undeniable &detestable fact that Trump is a misogynistic sexual predator who openly rates women according to if they are attractive enough for him to pussy grab, yes, let us not forget about the pussy grabbing sexual predator.

Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl some years back with a friend of his, and I believe he still has court dates pending on that one.  Even worse are the reports (and pictures) of Trump groping his own daughters; not to mention the numerous times he has repeated his desire to “Date” Ivanka.  You can  get more perverted than that but ya gotta go some to do it.  Oh yes, good time to mention the “golden showers” by Russian hookers and no doubt others as well.  The point here is that Trump is one sick puppy.

At his ego-feeding rally Trump repeatedly bragged about how he was keeping all of his campaign promises; except of course for the ones he seems to have no recollection of making, such as his promise to release his tax returns.  Every president for nearly half a century has released their personal tax returns, it’s what we call a tradition; and yet somehow Trump figures he is above all that and doesn’t have to if he doesn’t want to, defiantly daring somebody to try to make him play by the rules.  He won’t ever divulge those tax records because they will show exactly how much money he borrowed from Russian banks!

Then there is the issue of  his promise to divest himself from his businesses to avoid any possible conflict of interest; which happens to be legally required!  Aside from showing us a conference table stacked high with empty manila folders fresh from office depot; Trump has done nothing whatsoever to keep his promise and separate himself from his empire.  He not only arrogantly thinks he doesn’t have to, he also thinks nobody can make him.  Same thing with the tax returns. 

At his bizarre 2020 re-election rally he kept boasting about all the campaign promises he is keeping.  Oh yeah, how about his promise to release his taxes, and to divest himself from conflict of interest?  How about the promise he made that the deportations would be handled gently, with consideration.  He just deported a busload of children for crying out loud.  Trump is nothing but a lying, cheating scumbag in a bad suit with a six foot red tie.  Our genocide clown

An old saying advises young men that if they want to know about a girl, praise her to her girlfriends.  I find it both interesting and revealing reading what other billionaire businessmen say about Donald Trump.

Richard Bransonrecently said of trump “He invited me to lunch at his gold filled New York apartment, it was just both of us.  During the entire lunch he only spoke of one thing: REVENGE.  For over two hours he told me how he was going to get even, and destroy all those who didn’t help him when he was completely broke.”

Mark Cubancommented, “Donald has been at this for a year, but you don’t look at him and say, wow he’s gotten so much smarter on this topic or that topic.  In fact you look at him and say ‘what the hell are you talking about?’  That’s not good for America.”  Cuban hinted in 2015 that he considered running for president, saying he thought he could beat either Clintonor Trump.  As recently as last week Cuban was again quoted as saying he might run in 2020.

 That will be what that will be, but if he does he won’t be running against Trump no matter how much he’d like to…Trump won’t last that long: because “I’m Hearing” that impeachment documents are being drawn up.

We continue to wonder about Trump’s mysterious & shady connections to Russia & Putin.  Over and over Trump keeps saying “we should try to get along with Russia,” alluding that our countries are similar.  One can only wonder why Trump is so fond of Russiaand Putin but one thing is certain; he’s not going to tell us, no more than he’s going to release his tax returns or divest himself from conflict of interest with his businesses.

As mentioned in a previous post, Trump has borrowed heavily from Russiabecause American lenders refuse to deal with the king of bankruptcies.  That huge debt could well be used by Putin as leverage; not to mention rumors persisting of a video tape showing Trump getting a golden shower from Russian hookers.

Putin wants several things from Trump.  Top of the list would be to end US sanctions against Russiaand to weaken NATO.  He also wants Americato adopt his pro-Assad stance in Syria.  Next he’d like the US to recognize and legitimize his annexation of Crimea.  Obviously giving such concessions to Putin would go against our values and interests internationally but they might just reduce Trump’s monetary debt to Russian banks!  I’m just sayin.

A note to my regular, longtime readers: Yes I am aware that I began this expression as primarily a spiritually orientated blog focused upon the uncharted landscape of the Aquarian age, to kind of help us all find a better path to where it is we are going.  If we strive to be like the Buddha and be in this world but not of it in these extraordinary times we may find ourselves too detached from the world around us to survive it.  It behooves us to not only be aware of our mundane surroundings but to also live our spiritual values to their/our highest expression.  That would include speaking truth to power; and anyone else with ears to hear and eyes to see.  Ignoring the ugly and distasteful aspects of the human condition isn’t spiritual, it’s denial.

As a combat veteran I cannot remain silent in the face of what is happening in this country right before our astonished eyes.  I have grandkids in high school and some day if they should ask what I did when the Nazi’s tried to take over our country I want to have an answer I won’t be ashamed of.  No, I haven’t converted this space to being a political blog; please indulge me, I’m on a bit of a rant recently.  Several non-political posts are in the pipeline even now.  Either way I know I won’t be happy (or shut up) until I see Trump in a jumpsuit that matches his complexion with federal marshals leading him away.
