TRUMP:
A DIRECT PATH TO DISASTER
People want change—I get that.
But this race is not what you
think. It’s not about change. It’s not
even about a conservative viewpoint versus liberal. It’s not now, and never has been, a contest
between two philosophical positions.
Unlike any presidential battle we’ve
ever seen in this country, this has become a choice between a rational, eminently
prepared person and someone who’s off the rails.
With enough reading (“The New Yorker,”
“USA Today”, “The Los Angeles Times,” and many others), plus observation of the
man himself, you can’t miss the fact that this candidate isn’t normal. He has no core positions. He doesn’t care
about others (his Polish workers or anyone else.) He has no longstanding beliefs. He has a
shallow, easily-triggered personality.
For Donald Trump, there’s only one
thing that matters: Donald Trump.
His biographer said it first, but we’ve
seen for ourselves that he has a twenty-minute attention span. After that he goes off message and attacks
his enemies. We’ve seen for ourselves that his “message” shifts from day to day
and week to week—that he really doesn’t care whether women have abortions or
not, that he’s fiscally a dreamer, that after his six bankruptcies and 3500
lawsuits, he can’t be considered a businessman, that he almost never gives his
own money to charity, that on any subject he habitually tells the first lie
that comes to mind.
And never mind his attitudes about
women. On that subject, he’s made it clear where he stands.
It grieves me to think that nearly half
the country misses what’s so clear to the other half. I can’t get it through my fool head that
somehow forty percent of us actually think they’ve been listening to a man who can bring about change, that he will
somehow “shake things up” and cause the government to spin on its axis and
provide a better life for millions of people. They think because he shouts and
rants and lies he will also accomplish.
He won’t. Because he can’t.
The Donald doesn’t grasp this, but he’s
not running for king. Without the active
help of Congress—and yes, the Supreme Court--he can’t build a wall, he can’t
deport millions of Hispanics, he can’t cancel all our international treaties,
he can’t magically bring back jobs, and he can’t put Hillary in jail. Only a
dictator could “in the first 100 days” accomplish any of these things.
The
only thing this new president can actually do without the active support of
others is give the order to send off an atomic bomb. He’s even said, “If we’ve
got ‘em, why can’t we use ‘em?” If he wins, he can use ‘em--and yes, he can do
it in the first 100 days.
For
that reason alone, we are possibly on the path to disaster.
We
should all be terrified.
The guy is simply a rich crazed man. I would like to see a psycho analysis of this guy to help me understand where he's coming from. I'm willing to bet his father was demeaning and abusive to his mother and children. I'm willing to bet he's put his own children on notice of "disownership" if they don't comply with his whims.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot more to this man than what meets the eye, and he's desperately trying to stay on track with the teleprompters to keep from saying what he really means.
I think he's a monster ready to be let of the cage, and we will all see this. And despite what will happen in the near future, he will still have his supporters. Just watch, wait and see what is about to happen. The best/worse is yet to come.
