A guy can only take so much. At my age, I shouldn't have even taken the chance, but "Morning Joe" said Trump was going to explain his final decision on the gigantic Tariff program. He was going to name today "Liberation Day" and save the world from an economic disaster! Really! I scooted closer to my 50+ inch television and sat down on the floor as close as I could get to the screen. Just in time! Here he comes. . . his fake blonde hair bouncing, his long red tie slapping around his knees, and that thirty-five-year-old shinny blue suit he always wears!
He was toting an armful of signs with more numbers and symbols than what a man called Einstein ever used on his chalkboard. It was starting to get embarrassing! Everyone knows this guy can't explain the mathematical process it takes to add two plus two.
He droned on forever, occasionally throwing out a batch of numbers and lies that were meant to keep us believing his pitch. My mind had already tuned him out and I was looking for lunch.
Most of us are already aware that this guy is following a "how-to" book on becoming a dictator in ten steps. A few of us either honestly don't know yet or are lying about not knowing. I swear to God, they really believe this Tariff crap is for real!
If Trump doesn't read much, he has a damn good teacher whispering in his ear. I understand there are deliberate steps that must be taken in order to get the job done right . First, you must drain every drop of empathy from your brain. Then, refill with good ol' narcissism, as many quarts as it will take!
Third, any one who will not give you 115% loyalty automatically becomes your enemy. Fouth, all media are now dishonest and the people need to listen only to you. Fifth, most government departments are unnecessary and should be disolved and put under your control. Sixth, Your new rule of law is now under the authority of only you and the one you assign to do the work. Seventh, from now on, democracy, constitution, legislative branch and judicial branch are now under only your control. Eighth, you're almost there! Ninth, any orders you can dream up are yours to decree! Tenth, anyone who is against your authoritarian rule is automatically against you - and that makes them a political opponent/enemy! Do with them as you wish.
Now, the only thing left is to find a few million idiots who will go along with all of this and follow him over the cliff!
Trump thinks he has found them!
Has he?
