THE TRUMP AFFECT

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY WHEN THE GOP WOULD ALLOW A DRAFT DODGER AND THE ALLEGED RAPIST OF A 13-YEAR-OLD KICK A DECORATED LIEUTENANT COLONEL OFF THE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS FOR HONORING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. DID YOU? WELL, THAT'S AMERICA UNDER DONALD TRUMP.

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGRNCY.

.

THE AMERICAN FASCIST (REPRISED)

While White supremacist terrorism is exploding in America and all over the world, and there is relatively no terrorism on our Mexican border, Donald Trump doesn't see the increasing incidents of murder and mayhem by White nationalists as a serious problem, yet he declared a "National Emergency" on men, women and children on our Southern border. And while brushing off terrorist acts by White supremacists as just a small group of "people with a problem", he characterizes Hispanic immigrants looking for a better life as “an invasion” requiring a military response. That says it all about Donald Trump. But it goes far beyond that. This admitted nationalist and clueless aspiring dictator has actually threatened America with violence by his own supporters!!!

.

During an interview in Breitbart News Trump threatened, “It Would Be ‘Very Bad’ if my police [and] biker gang fans decided to get ‘tough’ on my opponents .” He went on to brag to Matthew Boyle of Breitbart, "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.”
.

Decoded - since Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney and "fixer" for over a decade, testified to congress that Trump tends to speak in code - Trump's words seem to say, if you don't leave me alone and stop investigating me, I'm gonna tell my big brother and he'll bring his gang to beat you up. 
.
It's horrifying when you consider that you're listening to the President of the United States. He doesn't even sound like a responsible adult, much less the leader of the free world. Trump sounds like a sniveling 8-year-old playing in a sandbox and angry because the other kids won’t play by his rules - and both mentally, and intellectually, that's exactly what he is. But the problem for humanity is, he’s a very dangerous 8-year-old, both to American democracy, and to humanity as a whole. So the entire world is holding its breath, because everyone can see that Trump is clearly unstable and fully unprepared for the awesome responsibility that's been laid at his feet. The pressure could cause him to crack at any given moment before our eyes.

THE MOMENT DONALD TRUMP MADE THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM COMPLETELY WORTHLESS

RUSH LIMBAUGH: A GOLFING BUDDY AND FELLOW DRAFT DODGER

AND BIGOT

.

America under Donald Trump is like having the pilot of a 747 leave his 8-year-old son in the cockpit while he goes to pee. While the plane may be on autopilot, anything could happen. In addition, Trump is under the gun in multiple areas, he's severely lacking in the maturity and intellect to handle the pressure, and he'd do anything to keep the world from knowing that. He's such a malignant narcissist that he's desperate to maintain the image he's cultivated over the years, and at any cost. So he'd rather kill us all than to have to face his shortcomings. Thus, what we have in the Oval Office is a clueless and cowardly actor who's fully unqualified to fulfill his role.

.

And beyond that (if that's not bad enough), there's ample evidence that Trump's instability is affecting the nation as a whole. Admittedly, I’ve never been in love with the GOP, but I never thought I’d see the day when Republicans would support a cowardly draft dodger who slanders a dead American hero, sucks up to a Russian dictator, and refuses to honor our war dead due to rain. So he's making complete idiocy the norm among a sizeable segment of both the self-serving, and undereducated parts of our population.
.

Trump said that he loves the poorly educated. Of course he does, because they're just like him. They lack historic perspective and live by emotion rather than common sense, so they're easily manipulated and easy to convince that his narcissistic view of reality is what America is all about.  He's convinced them that he is America, so to oppose Trump is to oppose America as a whole. He's building a personality cult. That's why he doesn't hesitate to demand personal loyalty among those around him, instead of loyalty to our national institutions.
.
Many evangelicals even claim that God sent Donald Trump among us. Maybe he did, but they must

REMEMBER THE STORY OF HEROD?

remember that God works in mysterious ways, so maybe he sent Trump among us to bring down the evangelicals and GOP as grossly disingenuous self-servers, because that's exactly what their unwavering support of Trump clearly demonstrates - that they're willing to follow anyone, no matter how evil and incompetent, who will cater to their bigotry, hypocrisy, and greed.   
.
As a former Marine I can say, without a doubt, that Trump is pathologically delusional. While he's calling the United States military his military, he's too blind to see that he's in way over his head. Since he dodged military service himself, he doesn't have any understanding of the mindset of the people who are dedicated to protecting our institutions and keeping America, America.  As a draft dodger, suspected traitor, and a rich little spoiled brat with autocratic tendencies, he's the epitome of everything our military and intelligence community despise - a rich snob with a delusional sense of entitlement. And worse, he's calling the very people who have been protecting our liberty for generations "the enemy of the people" because they refuse to pledge their loyalty to him instead of the nation. So he's not only seen as a wimp, but a threat to the very democracy that these men and women have dedicated their lives to defending.
.
That's why Trump has been bumping heads with the FBI and other intelligence agencies; that's also why they're being forced through necessity to limit the information that he's being provided. Think about that for a minute - the President of the United States can't be trusted with our most sensitive information. It's an unbelievable situation, and that fact has not been lost on our intelligence professionals.
.
But Trump is far too self-absorbed to realize that these are not the kind of self-serving political minions who will pledge their loyalty to a lunatic; they're selfless and clear-thinking career professionals who have dedicated their lives to protecting America. They've already pledged their loyalty, and not to a fly-by-night tinhorn dictator wannabe, but to our democracy and the American people, but that fact is blowing right past Trump. He lacks the common sense and insight to realize that everyone doesn't think like him. Everybody is not up for sale, for either money, or power, and they're well aware of both his mental instability, and lack of intellectual comprehension.
.
So the fact is, Trump didn't have to go limping into the draft board lying about having a bone spur. The Marine Corps uses boot camp to rid themselves of people like Trump routinely, because they know that such people are all mouth and bluster with very little backbone - as he proved conclusively when this nation called upon him to serve. The Marine Corps looks for character, and if you don't have it and they can't instill it in you, they get rid of you. They call it, "drumming you out of the corps." That's what makes the marines such an effective fighting force. They have experience with characters like Trump, and they know that such people can't be depended upon when the chips are down, because they're invariably cowards. That's why the military told him to "shove it" when he tried to demand a military parade.

.

But Trump's pathological narcissism is blinding him to the fact that he's a weasel trying to command a pride of lions. Our military doesn't see him as a Commander in Chief, that was President Eisenhower; they see him as a draft-dodging idiot that they're being force to tolerate.
.
And another thing Trump fails to realize is, these people don't play. They're the consummate professionals who take our national security dead seriously. On the other hand, Trump is so self-serving and clueless that he ignores condition reports in order to watch Fox news coverage of himself for hours on end, give away state secrets to Russians visiting the Oval Office, and pass out security clearances to family and friends like poker chips to be used as business assets, and now we've even gotten down to his doing business with owners of massage parlors. If the current reality under Trump had been submitted as a possible James Bond script it would have been rejected as far too unbelievable. That's why I jump out of bed every morning and turn on my computer to see if Trump is still around, because I'm convinced that our career professionals are only going to wait so long to defend America. 

.

Trump is placing our national security on the line, and that makes him the enemy of the people. But he's too busy playing self-serving games to recognize that fact. He's like a geriatric child playing with toy soldiers, but these soldiers are real, and again, they're deadly serious. The American people are kept in an innocent bubble, but in order to keep them safe, on a practical level, our government has to have contingency plans to deal with such matters. They simply cannot allow one greedy, self-serving, and narcissistic lunatic to bring this nation down. Yet Trump continues to strut around, shooting off his mouth and is completely oblivious to the position he's placing himself in. He doesn't realize it, but all of his shady business deals with the Russins and others are about to be put on public display. He may be able to hide that information from the public, but our professionals already have it. They're just waiting to see if Trump is going to become a victim of his own stupidity before they're forced to disrupt America's innocence. The mere fact that Trump doesn't realize that demonstrates how clueless he is - and no, these people are not "Deep State", they're loyal Americans who are simply not about to just sit around and allow Trump to waltz in and deliver the United States over to Putin.
.
You won't read what I'm saying here in the Washington Post or the New York Times, because it's far beyond what's considered politically correct, but what I'm engaging in here is complete and unvarnished truth. Do you think our intelligence community is just going to sit back and allow Trump to turn the United States over to Putin, China, or the highest bidder? I don't think so - and trying to get them to turn over all the intelligence they have on Trump to William Barr is like spitting in the wind.
.
If Trump has demonstrated anything during the short time he's been in office, it's that he places self before country, and that he lacks limits. Those two facts alone have placed the powers that be in this country on full alert. They're not about to let Trump's greed, stupidity, and aspiration to be an international oligarch bring this nation down, regardless of what they have to do to stop it - and believe me, they're watching. So mark my word, Trump and many of his cohorts are in for a rude awakening.

MAJOR  GENERAL PAUL EATON, RET.

Retired Major General Paul Eaton penned what some have referred to as a "jaw-dropping" response to Trump's call for a military parade. The general said the following:
.
“Donald Trump has continually shown himself to have authoritarian tendencies, and this is just another example. For someone who just declared it was ‘treasonous’ to not applaud him, and for someone who has, in the past, admired the tactics of everyone from Saddam Hussein to Vladimir Putin, it is clear that a military parade isn’t about saluting the military — it’s about making a display of the military saluting him.

.
“The military is not Donald Trump’s to use and abuse in this way.” The retired major general went on to say that the military would not be “reduced to stagecraft to prop up Donald Trump’s image. Unfortunately, we do not have a commander in chief, right now, as much as we have a banana republic strong man.”

. 
In a previous article, Donald Trump's Brand of Mental Illness, I responded to a commenter that made the following statement online:
.
“Is what we are seeing actually mental illness, or is it a result of being born into a family that requires nothing from the child? Trump was a millionaire at age 7. He was given everything, worked for nothing and learned how to con. I am struggling to see this as mental illness.”
.
In response, I pointed out the following:
.
Being rich can contribute to mental illness just as easily as poverty. The 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 hate him because he’s so brilliantly special that the average person is incapable of understanding him. He HAD to indulge in this delusion just to maintain his self-esteem. That’s why he’s always bragging, lying, and promoting himself – “I was the top student in my class at Wharton”; and “I had the largest inaugural in American history.” Both lies were easily debunked. With respect to being at the top of his class at Wharton, a simple glance at the Honor Roll showed that his name was nowhere to be found, and his claim of having the biggest inaugural crowd ever was debunked by aerial photos that clearly showed that the crowd at his inaugural was a mere fraction of that at Barack Obama’s inauguration. There was such a contrast between the two that the White House tried to pass off doctored photos of the two events to avoid embarrassment.  
.

But for Donald Trump, the only thing important in life is trying to get the world to embrace his delusion of grandeur, even if he has to bring down America, and the entire world, to do it - and that's exactly what we're seeing play out in his administration. That’s what makes Trump so dangerous.  He wouldn’t hesitate to start WWIII just to save face and to prevent the world from seeing the failure and absolute fraud that he is, and that he's always been. So how do you know when Trump is lying to save face - his eyes are open.
.
Trump will use any tact available to promote his interests. He repeatedly threatens the nation.  While testifying before congress, Trump’s former fixer for over 10 years, Michael Cohen, told the panel two things about Donald Trump that particularly stuck out – first, that Trump speaks in code, and secondly, which was really chilling, that Trump wouldn’t leave office peacefully. When we consider those comments, along with Trump’s remark about his biker friends, and then an earlier comment that Trump made to Reuters when asked about the possibility of impeachment, that “I’m not concerned, no. I think that the people would revolt if that happened,” we have to ask ourselves, was that coded speech to his renegade supporters, or was it simply the deranged rantings of a man steeped in delusion? Either way, it's not good news for America.

TOUGH GUYS FOR TRUMP

.

What was Trump's purpose for tweeting the attached link, for example? Was he trying to threaten America, or is he trying to organize an army of supporters in preparation for losing the next election? Because Trump is desperate. He knows that if he loses the 2020 election he's going to prison and his entire criminal fiefdom is going to collapse. Being President is the only thing keeping him out as we speak. Michael Cohen, his "fixer", is already doing time for crimes they committed in concert.

.
But regardless of what Trump's motivation for posting this tweet, it's very childish. Can you even imagine Barack Obama posting something this immature in the public media? Thus, we clearly have a geriatric 8-year-old in the White House, and that's not only dangerous to America, but it's dangerous to all of humanity.

.

There's always the possibility that President Richard Nixon's White House counselor, John Dean, was right when he tweeted the following:

.
“Trump and his minions think they dodged a bullet. I have a notion — only a recurring though — that Mueller delivered a bomb to AG Barr, who is now trying to figure out how to tell Trump in a way that doesn’t cause him to start World War III.  Barr knows he works for a psycho.”

.

And America shouldn’t take this talk of Donald Trump's instability lightly. This is the man who’s walking around with the nuclear football, yet he's so immature that his greatest joys in life is watching television news coverage of himself, playing golf, and getting into childish spitball fights on Twitter – and don’t forget, this is a guy with extremely thin skin, and the sky is falling in on him as a result of multiple investigations. And worst of all, again, and this cannot be overemphasized, this is the man walking around with the nuclear codes, and who told Kim Jong-Un, "My button is bigger than yours."
.

And Trump's demand for a military parade for himself clearly shows that he's not interested in what he can do to improve America or the world at all; it's all about Donald Trump. Through his narcissistic eyes all America represents to him is a powerful extension of his own ego. So we're in a precariously dangerous situation. Absolutely everything that Trump has done since he's been in office has been designed to make himself look good to his mindless supporters, and this can't continue.  Donald Trump is about to implode, so it is absolutely imperative that we take the necessary steps to ensure that he can't take America, and the world, down with him.  This man doesn't belong in the White House, he belongs in a state hospital - and if we continue to just sit on our hands and do nothing, maybe we belong there with him.

AND WE’VE BEEN WARNED

“John Gartner, Ph.D. is the founder of ‘Duty to Warn’ an organization intent on warning our country that we are in dire trouble due to our president’s mental instability. More than 60,000 mental health professionals have signed John’s petition, which states:
.
‘We, the undersigned mental health professionals, believe in our professional judgment that Donald Trump manifests a serious mental illness that renders him psychologically incapable of competently discharging the duties of President of the United States. And we respectfully request he be removed from office, according to article 4 of the 25th amendment to the Constitution, which states that the president will be replaced if he is ‘unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.’”

SO TRUMP SUPPORTERS NEED TO STOP AND ASK THEMSELVES, ARE THEY REALLY PATRIOTS WHO LOVE THIS COUNTRY, OR ARE THEY SO ANGRY, GREEDY, AND VINDICTIVE TOWARD OTHER AMERICANS THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THIS COUNTRY, THEIR CHILDREN’S FUTURE, AND POSSIBLY, THE WORLD?
