Gangster in Chief

[McCamy Taylor]

You could fill an encyclopedia with the crimes of Donald Trump. Here is just one. From the New Yorker:

When “Lost Tycoon” was published, Kirkus Reviews credited Hurt, a former contributing editor at Texas Monthly, with having written “a slick, informed account.” The Times ignored it. Trump denounced it, and last year, in a tweet, he called Hurt a “dummy dope” who “wrote a failed book.”

The part of the book that caused the most controversy concerns Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Hurt obtained a copy of her sworn divorce deposition, from 1990, in which she stated that, the previous year, her husband had raped her in a fit of rage. In Hurt’s account, Trump was furious that a “scalp reduction” operation he’d undergone to eliminate a bald spot had been unexpectedly painful. Ivana had recommended the plastic surgeon. In retaliation, Hurt wrote, Trump yanked out a handful of his wife’s hair, and then forced himself on her sexually. Afterward, according to the book, she spent the night locked in a bedroom, crying; in the morning, Trump asked her, “with menacing casualness, ‘Does it hurt?’ ” Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure. Hurt said that the incident, which is detailed in Ivana’s deposition, was confirmed by two of her friends.

Donald Trump's character flaws are so huge that you could drive an 18 wheeler through them. Far from protecting the weak, Donald Trump takes out his rage and frustration on women and children and then brags about his violence to other men, as if being a bully means being powerful. Trump does not understand the meaning of the word power. To have power means to have the ability to do work--to get things done. Trump does not do work. He steals. He cheats. He lies. He swindles. He blackmails. And he destroys---lives, families, jobs, countries.

This man is not a president. This man is a gangster, not even fit to be a godfather, a hired flunky for the real heads of organized crime. A man so riddled with anger and bitterness and vanity that he would pull out his wife's hair and rape her, because his cosmetic surgery hurt. An enormous petulant man child posing as the leader of the most powerful nation on earth.

Sometimes, you have to step back from things to see them clearly. The people of the United Kingdom see Trump clearly. The only flaw I see in their rendition of the man--they fail to point out that we the people of the United States have armed the enormous man child with nuclear weapons. You would not give a baby a loaded gun. Why on earth would anyone give someone as petty, criminal and unstable as Trump assess to weapons of mass destruction? Are we suicidal?

1. One could make a fortune producing and selling small versions of the Trump baby ballon.

They could be normal-sized roundish balloons with the hair and diaper printed, so no special shaping would be necessary.
Fill them with helium and off you go. Imagine hundreds or thousands of people marching with their own trump baby balloons.
