What
more evidence of gross personality disorder is required to convince Trumpites
that their man in office is a psychopathic megalomaniac and should be removed
from office without delay?
Not
only did this midget of a man who frequently has little connection with reality
sit up and take notice of a doctored video whereby he is shown violently smashing
a golf ball that somehow miraculously hits a woman (i.e., Hillary Rodham Clinton)
in the back as she enters an airplane, causing her to fall, but today, September
17, 2017, at 8:18 a.m., that man—OUR PRESIDENT—retweeted that self-same tweet
to the U.S. public at large (and indeed to the world at large). There have been
over 1,000 retweets and over 3,000 likes so far and it’s not even noontime.
It
appears that the gif was first tweeted online by “Mike” from the account @Fuctupmind
three days ago. The original caption was “Donald Trump’s amazing golf swing
@CrookedHillary.” The fertile minds of America’s haters are busily at work.
Will the real “Fuctupmind Mike” please step forward?
Can
Trump be redeemed? I'd put the chances at zero minus 1 million, give or take.
As
recounted by the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, “Some users found the
clip funny while others considered it grossly offensive and demonstrative of
the president's penchant for violence against women.”
CNN
described the retweet as follows: “The tweet, . . . came as Trump prepares to
head to New York for a critical round of powerhouse diplomacy with world
leaders at the United Nations, [and] followed a week during which [Hillary] Clinton
reemerged in the spotlight as she promoted her new book, ‘What Happened,’ about
the 2016 campaign, reviving her fiercest criticisms of Trump and his supporters
and reigniting the debate about her stunning, unanticipated loss.”
My
immediate reaction was that Trump was validating his reputation as clinically
unbalanced and so full of rage at his election opponent that he has no control
over his actions, NONE.
Just
to round out his tweetstorm, Trump has also put out a tweet mocking North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man,” this when North Korea is threatening
South, Korea, Japan, and the United States via Guam and Hawaii—not to mention
the U.S. mainland—with nuclear annihilation at the hands of a male who is as
unbalanced and easily personally threatened as Donald Trump.
And
all this on a day when:
(1)
four U.S. tourists, all women, were sprayed in the face with acid as they
toured Marseille, France, potentially part of a terrorist attack;
(2)
three new hurricanes in the Atlantic threaten to put hurricane-devastated
Caribbean islands at risk of repeated watery death and destruction as well as
lashing the northeast coast of the U.S.;
(3)
London police continue their arrests and investigation of a London tube terror
firebombing attack;
(4)
Venezuela is in a death spiral of mass shortages and collapse from
mismanagement and violence brought on by a dictatorship;
(5)
Obamacare is beginning to falter as presidential actions take aim at its
protections and begin to unravel them, jeopardizing healthcare for tens of
millions of Americans and increasing premiums and deductibles for many if not
most people in the U.S. healthcare system; and
(6)
the U.S. debt ceiling must be increased by Congress in the next two weeks or
the country will default on its obligation to pay its bills, “costing the
Treasury tens of billions every year for decades to come,” and probably leading
to a “serious recession.”
Moreover,
there are, as always, additional crises in the U.S. and the rest of the world
that require the urgent attention of a sane, focused leader.
WHEN
IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? AT WHAT POINT WILL TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS AT LARGE, IN HIS
CABINET, AND IN THE CONGRESS RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF DONALD TRUMP’S MENTAL
ILLNESS AND TRUMP’S INABILITY TO GOVERN FOR THE GOOD OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
Hello?
Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, we need to
apply you asap. That amendment, enacted by Congress and ratified by the States
prior to adoption in 1967—during the decade that saw President John F. Kennedy
felled by an assassin—provides in Section 4 that:
“Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either
the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as
Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written
declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of
his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties
of the office as Acting President.
“Thereafter, when the President
transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he
shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and
a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of
such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to
the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to
discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide
the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in
session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter
written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days
after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both
Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his
office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting
President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his
office.”
How
can Vice President Mike Pence sleep at night knowing that his fate and that of
the rest of the world rests in the fevered hands and twisted maladjusted fury of
Donald J. Trump?
How
much longer, Mr. Pence, how much longer? Do we wait for the nuclear warheads
from North Korea to land and obliterate parts of the world? What more will it
take? Aren’t we already falling headlong down that dangerous slippery slope
without a safety net?
