HATRED, KILLINGS, AND THE DUBIOUS DONALD TRUMP


Yet more killings have taken place in Texas. This time it was in Odessa, Texas. According to the Midland, Texas police, 5 people have been killed and 21 wounded on the highway, and at the Cinergy Movie Theater in Odessa. The Cinergy shooter was killed, but they suspect 2 more shooters to be at large shooting at people at random on the highway. One of the shooters is driving a gold/white Toyota truck, and the other a hijacked U.S. Postal Service Van.
It’s no accident that the repeated violence that’s breaking out around the country is happening on Trump’s watch. The entire country seems to be taking on his unstable personality. An individual has to be mindlessly immature, ignorant and angry to support such a man in the first place, and then, when you add the hatred he spews on a daily basis to compensate for his glaring ineptitude, it turns the nation into a ticking time bomb.

In an interview with Breitbart, Trump said,“You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny, I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad."

All delusions aside regarding his having the support of the military and police, what kind of president in his right mind even talks like that? He's essentially threatening the American people over being investigated by congress.  That alone warrants invoking the 25th amendment. He sounds like a kid in a sandbox telling the other kids, "You better be nice to me, because my big brother is the leader of the Crips." The man is a geriatric 8-year-old. 

But of course, Trump, his supporters and the NRA are going to say, “You can’t blame Trump for these shootings; you have to blame the people pulling the trigger”. That's a weak argument when you consider the fact that Osama Bin Laden didn’t fly any of the planes during 9/11, and neither was Charles Manson at the scene of the Manson killings. But we held them responsible for both atrocities nevertheless, because they inspired them, and there is absolutely no doubt that Trump is also inspiring the upsurge in right-wing terrorism currently taking place in America. 
So, Trump has got to go. His gross instability, complete distain for the law, and his total ignorance of the Constitution and how government works is infecting the entire nation. In a previous article, "About DonaldAbout Trump's Brand of Mental Illness, I point out the following:
“Being rich can contribute to mental illness just as easily as poverty. Those very conditions you described can lead to a bratty and dysfunctional personality so pronounced that it led to Trump never having a real friend or anyone who really cared about him in his life. The loneliness and desperation to prove himself worthy resulting from that can lead to his becoming the narcissistic sociopath that he is.
“All through life Trump's had to convince himself that people hated him because he’s so brilliantly special that the average person is incapable of understanding him. He HAD to indulge in that delusion just to maintain his self-esteem. That’s why he’s always bragging and promoting himself, because for Donald Trump, the only thing important in life is trying to get the world to embrace his delusional vision of himself, or who he'd like to be - even if he has to bring down America, and the entire world, to do it. That explains his intense hatred of Barack Obama. Barack represents everything he's always wanted to be - and rubbing vinegar in the wound is Barack is Black. It's just killing Trump that the man he most envies in the world is a Black man, and what makes it worse is the more he tries to out-shine him, the bigger fool he makes of himself. 
“Just imagine going through life where every single person you ever came into contact with hated your guts (the guy's wife doesn’t even seem to like him). He's so arrogant, delusional, and self-absorbed that he's just not the kind of guy that anyone can like or want to be around for any extended period of time. Can you imagine being his friend and having to agonize through endless stories about how wonderful and brilliant he is all night? It must drive Melania absolutely insane.
“So, even his so-called supporters and staff don't really like him; they’re simply opportunists like himself - that's why his White House leaks like a sieve. He's just a useful idiot who allows his "supporters" to promote their own agendas - bigotry for some, and power and greed for others. But in private, they talk about him like a dog – an ignorant and incompetent dog, who could either inadvertently, or in an attempt to save face, destroy America and the world.”
And that’s exactly what’s happening. This is Trump’s last stand.  He’s even melting down with Fox News for not standing up for him.  He sees the polls, and they’re ugly. And he knows that if he loses the 2020 election and the Republicans lose the senate, he and all of his adult children are going to prison, and he’s gonna lose everything he’s stolen.

And the man doesn't care anything about America - he's incapable the thinking about anything but himself. So he's a clear and present danger to this nation. America is in the exact same position as the passengers in a 747 whose pilot put the plane on autopilot and left his 8-year-old son in the co-pilot's seat while he goes to pee. Actually, we're in worse shape, because Trump won't stop touching things he doesn't know anything about - like the economy, and international diplomacy, for example.
And he's so desperate to escape justice that I predict that if worse comes to worst on election night, he’ll resign between election night and the inauguration of the new Democratic president and elevate Mike Pence to the presidency to pardon him. But there's problem with that plan -New York Attorney General Letitia James is several steps ahead of him. As soon as she walked through the door as New York's AG she started charging Trump with violating one state law after another - and since he's spent his entire business life in New York, there are a ton of things to charge him with. She's been charging him with one violation after another every 2 weeks. At this point she has 17 charges against him and his family - and state charges can’t be pardoned away.
So, like Former CIA Director John Brennan warned Trump, the "protective cocoon" that's protecting you is "only temporary".
