Preface: If you are familiar with who Donald Trump has been his whole life.....and this can only come by reading about him....then you recognize the extraordinary and successful psychological manipulation....and the ultimate fakery from a man who accuses everyone else of fakery. You see the perfected deceptive sales pitch....and at times the outright scamming. The more you would read....the more you would be disgusted at how we were taken in.....but if you don't read.....if you follow the new Trump Party's rules of only reading their literature....well then it is what it is:
The 1967 film The Graduate was in retrospect not a film for a seventeen year old to see....especially in an age where Hollywood molded much of America's youth. Bonnie And Clyde was another. If I remember correctly.....Warren Beatty later in life regretted making heroes of the notorious couple. The 60s were damaging in so many ways. Back to The Graduate....the score and Paul Simon's songs were mesmerizing....which did not help. To those of us in our 60s....(I've only got a couple of weeks left to make that statement)....there were certain scenes that just stick with you. The famous word of advice....plastics!....would be one of them. Dustin Hoffman in full SCUBA gear at the bottom of his parent's swimming pool would be another....but another one that might not be so well remembered comes to my mind. The character of Elaine had just confronted the character of Ben on assaulting her mother.....Ben couldn't believe what he was hearing and began to tell Elaine what really happened. Elaine began screaming while covering her ears....as she would not accept this testimony from Ben.
That is the situation we....conservatives....are in today with Donald Trump. We do not want to hear who he really is....and who he has been his whole life. We don't necessarily scream....but we often start talking over the person relaying this information....or we turn off the television....and we certainly refuse to read any books on Donald Trump. I've read sixty now....with three at my side. If you are a regular reader of these posts you are probably tired of my relating this....I knew little of Donald Trump right up to the election that I celebrated....but after he amazingly and almost unbelievably brought Ivanka and Jared Kushner into the inner circle of decision making of the White House of the United States of America....and after he threatened the Freedom Caucus while trying to put one over on us on Obamacare repeal and replace....I started reading....and I haven't stopped.
We all should know by now that Secretary of State Tillerson once called President Trump a moron....but more details are coming out in a new book....a book we obviously will not even consider reading. Drudge has a story up on it as I type. President Trump....six months into his term....in a meeting with generals and other military experts....who were just trying to inform him of the realities of foreign policy....burst into a tantrum after initially appearing bored....and then called them...."all losers".....and said...."I wouldn't go to war with you people....You're a bunch of dopes and babies." It was after this meeting that Rex Tillerson called Donald Trump a moron....but it was far more than moronic....it was a telltale sign of serious psychological disorder.....and many more signs would come....one after another....right up to today.
Donald Trump is a troubled individual. I'm convinced that if it wasn't for who the Democrat Party offers as an alternative....and what that party has become....that we would have given Donald Trump his walking papers for 2020 long ago.....but that threat of a President Warren....or Biden....or Sanders....throws everything of concern on Donald Trump....his huge megalomania and his life of one lie after another and his horrendous vindictiveness....it throws all this up into the wind. In effect....Donald Trump has done to us what he has done throughout his life to almost everyone who flies into his orbit....he destroys them....for he is by nature a destroyer. He brings down....he sullies....he leads astray.
Oh....you say.....what about the economy? Stay tuned. He bamboozled and pressured the Fed and it is pouring sixty to a hundred billion dollars a month into treasuries and other calculated moves....this since last fall....and it will continue at least into the second quarter of this year. The stock market correspondingly soared....but appears to be the bubble of all bubbles....and when it comes down....look out....for the fail-safes will not work and other safeguards have been jettisoned. We shouldn't really need the realities of Wall Street or the national debt to cause us concern for there are many other areas that can begin to bring down this house of cards....which includes the economy and the social order....but we are all positive thinkers now....even in the church. Trump thinks that there is a power there....as do many in the church....but we are about to find out that all power resides in God....and is distributed only as He purposes....and that all of our usurpations are but vanities.
