Trump’s Counting on an Extremely Stupid U.S. Population

It’s a representation of how preposterous all this is.

It’s a representation of how preposterous all this is.

Trump himself thinks he’s God’s gift to the U.S. presidency, and his supporters are in 100% agreement.
Briefly: His first term passed largely without incident.
The next presidential term, served by Biden, was contentious to say the least, in that it consisted of Trump’s contesting the election with a stream of lies and violence, including the insurrection against the U.S. Capitol, and arrest, trial and conviction of more than 900 violent offenders.
Near the end of the term, grand juries from four different jurisdictions brought a total of four indictments against Trump totaling 91 felony counts. Though Trump did everything in his power to stave off the criminal proceedings, he went to trial in the case of falsifying business records in the 34-count felony indictment, brought by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and heard in the New York State Supreme Court. He was convicted on all counts.
Trump was re-elected in the 2024 election, and the first eight+ months of his second term has been a cyclone of lawlessness, with each day bringing a new volley of savage attacks against American democracy, the U.S. Constitution, and rule of law. The president is clearly amassing wealth and power, making it difficult or impossible to remove him from office in 2028.
There is a negligible portion of the U.S. electorate that would like to see Trump “repaired.” Again, the voters who support him think that he’s doing a perfect job in “making America great again.” The rest of us would like to see his presidency ended asap via the 25th Amendment or some other legal vehicle that applies to the insane, to traitors, and anyone else clearly unfit to continue to lead the nation.

This reminds me of all the conversations I’ve had with Europeans over the past couple of years, in which I asked people about their reactions to what’s happened in the United States. Most people say, “We just can’t believe it happened to America. If you had said that Paraguay or Mali has a new authoritarian leader, no one in Europe would have batted an eyelash. But America? Unthinkable.”

Here, Scaramucci seems to be asserting that something fundamental has changed in the character of Donald Trump, now that he’s become addicted to power.
I think a more plausible explanation is that Trump was born without a soul. All we know about his life is that he’s never done a single thing that wasn’t calculated to bring himself pleasure, wealth, and power.
The purpose of his first term was to be re-elected, and to use his second term as a lame duck to do exactly what we’re seeing him do now: ignore the law to consolidate power, making it as hard as possible for him to be removed from office in 2028.


That’s the only conclusion I can draw from the words of Trump’s son Eric at left.

Yes, he has his hands full, but he’s assisted by hundreds of traitors in congress, and hundreds of millions of hateful morons in the U.S. electorate.


I recognize that the typical MAGA voter is disturbed as well, but insanity in the White House is not a sustainable way to govern a nation.
