The Clown who isn’t funny
Oh America! What have you done. Electing the first criminal to the Whitehouse.
Four years ago at the start of this website I wrote about Trump with the headline “ The clown has left the building” after his rather reluctant departure from the Whitehouse. Well the clown is back and he has now morphed into the sort of clown akin to Pennywise from the horror movie IT franchise.
Trump is back, this time in full fascist mode, demanding unquestioning loyalty from his minions. He is out to punish his enemies threatening them with their careers or imprisonment.
Read the Project 2025 manifesto. Like a rewrite of Margaret Atwood’s book the ‘Hand Maidens Tale’. Being a republican will not get you a job in Trumps world, you have to be the right type of republican. A Trump toadying loyalist will only be considered.
I went to bed on Tuesday night full of hope, only to be confused, angry and disappointed the next day. Those Americans with a bit of education and some sense of morality in the US tried to stop it happening but those of you following the conspiracy theories and the insane divisive rhetoric of your orange god, and fanatical evangelical pastors that threw their morals and self respect out with the garbage. Despite his divisive hate filled message blaming all of Americas problems on the poor and vulnerable within society. Despite him being a blatant racist, misogynist, sexist all of his adult life the majority of American voters turned a blind eye. Despite him being a convicted perpetrator of sexual assault on more than one occasion, Despite being convicted numerous times for fraud and embezzlement you gave him the top job that he is clearly not fit for.
From his first court appearance alongside his father in 1973 for refusing to rent any of his properties to black people to allegations of rape and sexual assault throughout the 80s and 90s, including an alleged rape of a 13 year old girl perpetrated alongside Jeffery Epstein in 1994.
An alleged 2005 sexual assault of a journalist being shown around Mar a Largo.
The 1996 rape of E Jean Carroll in a department store, that was dropped down to sexual assault and he has to pay out $88 million. She initially struggled to get justice first time around due to Trumps presidential immunity while he was sitting president.
His convictions for falsifying business records to secretly pay hush money to keep pornstar Stormy Daniels quiet. Once again slippery Don did not go to jail but his lawyer Michael Cohen did.
The Trump organisation of which he was in charge is found guilty of tax fraud and fined $1.6 million. Once again Trump doesn’t go to prison but two other scapegoats do.
He has been impeached twice and has many cases pending, but now the stupid, and morally bankrupt Trump voters have handed the world to him on a plate, he can technically pardon himself from any crime committed up to the end of his new Whitehouse tenure.
He rose to power in part by attaching himself to the right wing Evangelical Christians. Now that he’s got the position he has once again got the job he has always coveted, and he cannot be elected again to the office as he has served two terms. Let’s see if the mask is dropped and the religious fanatics finally see what everyone else sees. He has no time for religion and has just been using them for their votes.
He is a lying, narcissistic conman who uses people to get what he wants at all cost. He has always been that way and always will be.
Not only did the American voter give him the top job, but you also filled the senate and house of representatives with his corrupt cronies so he now has free reign to do as he pleases without any checks and balances in place, as according to the MAGA politicians their orange gods word is final and he is ordained by god.
Will he do as Putin did? and get the senate and house of representatives and try to extend the two-term rule that was specifically installed to stop a dictatorial rule. Now he has both houses in his pocket, he may try it.
How a man who has, his whole life denigrated the poor and oppressed in American society manages to convince the very same people that he is their saviour is breath taking beyond words.
He has conned and swindled people with a whole host of ridiculous products and scam services over the years. He has defrauded contractors that worked for him on his properties by refusing to pay contractors for their work. The scams just keep going on and on, but that is all OK with the American voter.
If there is one person that cannot be blamed for this madness it is Kamala Harris , who had travelled the length of the country and fought as hard as she could warning the States what would happen if they elected this moron. She had plans and policies, while he had no policies apart from other countries would pay for everything through fixing 20% tariffs on all imports. Good luck with that as the same countries you attack with tariffs can do the same with your exports. His other go to plan is to deport some 20 million people back to their own countries, especially the Mexicans.
People prepare for the world to change and not for the better.
NATO which has kept the peace in Europe and the world over, for the last 80 years is in jeopardy. The democrat sovereignty of Ukraine will be hanging by a thread.
Trump who basically can not get his tongue up Putin’s arse far enough has a plan to end the conflict, but that plan is as predictable has he is. Simply to give 20% of Ukraine to Putin. In other words give Putin everything that he wants.
It was no surprise that one of the first world leaders to congratulate him on his win was none other than fellow Putin arse licker, Victor Orban, the president of Hungary.
What the fuck happened to America. They once stood for decency, morality and democracy. All of which they now seem to despise.
There is a video of Trump stating “ the poorly educated, I love the poorly educated “. Yes, of course he does. It’s how the powerful have controlled the masses since time immemorial. Educated the masses just enough to be useful to do their jobs, but not enough to realise they are being used.
You could sit back and say, in four years’ time we can rectify the mess that he caused, but in four years he will have filled every high-ranking post with his obnoxious cronies. Called project 2025, it’s a right wing blue print to infiltrate every nook and cranny of government with conservative right wing administrators so the republicans can hold power well after any republican president has left office.
He has already said the corrupt judge Aileen Cannon, that presided over his trial over his refusal to give back state secrets to the government will probably be his new General Attorney or be given a position on the Supreme Court, when the even more corrupt supreme court judge Clarence Thomas resigns.
Another failed republican senate nominee and blatant Trump groveller, Hershel Walker an American NFL football player who apart from being not very smart after too many bangs to his head, during his American football playing days, likes to portray his past and family life in a compelling different light from reality, had been given the job of protecting U S missile defences. A big job he is clearly unqualified for.
Another implied appointment is that of Elon Musk, the world’s richest man. Who will be put in charge of the American economy.
Let’s get one thing out of the way. Like Trump Musk is not a self made billionaire.
Like Trump his wealth started with a multi million dollar hand out from his multi millionaire father.
He did not invent or start PayPal, Space X or Tesla, other people started up and made a success of these companies. He simply invested, and bought into these companies, often bullying or forcing out the company originator if they do not submit or curtail to his business practices, which is him always taking the glory. These practices often force his workforce to work long hours for no extra pay and not recognising any unions and firing people at a whim sometimes for no reason. Trump loves him for this. Elon is his sort of guy.
His buying of Twitter now called X under the guise of the protector of free speech, whereby he stifled free speech from the left, but actively promoted conspiracy theories from the far right and helped brain wash the masses against Kamala Harris.
So what does Musk get from this deal. Well apart from getting a seat at the table next to the orange god and a constant advisory roll on the presidents ear. Well, he gets a president who is going to put a 100% tariff on imported EVs from China, thus protecting his Tesla car manufacturing investment. He also gets a lucrative government contract with his Starlink satellite system via his Space X company.
Elon will also benefit from massive tax cuts promised by Trump to the most wealthiest in society, of which Trump happens to be one.
If ever there was a prime candidate for the Dunning- Kruger effect it is Donald J Trump. A man so sure of his abilities and his self proclaimed genius that he actually believes his own bullshit. He surrounds himself with advisors and yes men, but takes no notice of their advice, even when it makes sound sense.
Let’s be honest, anyone, and I mean anyone that has to go around constantly telling everyone that they are a stable genius are not by any definition of the word, a genius.
Well, America, you chose him and will have to live with the consequences of that decision for the next four years. Unfortunately, there are millions of people throughout the world who are also affected by your choice, especially people suffering in Ukraine and the Middle East. The people of Ukraine are fighting off another megalomaniac in the Kremlin, who like Trump also hates democracy and the will of the people.
Hopefully we will survive the next four years with this psychotic clown in the most powerful position in the world. Good luck world!
