Bonnie and All who Tremble at the Thought of Donald Trump becoming our
First Emperor.
The sort of good news is that Donald Trump is not a young crazy man.
He is an old crazy man. And his habits are those of your normal heart
attack looking for a place to explode.
But there can be no doubt regarding Donald Trump's belief that he
could become the Empire's first dictator/emperor. He can do this in
one easy way, and the example is right there for him to follow. After
two terms, FDR ran for an unprecedented third term. The war in Europe
had many American corporations worried, and the people felt that fear.
FDR felt the mood of the public and took advantage of it and ran and
won. In 1944, with the war still raging, he stood tall as our strong
Leader, and won again, as sick as he was.
So all Donald Trump needs is a little international war. Especially
if it appears that we are under attack. With the right words, along
with a few dirty tricks, Americans will be bowing to the Really,
Really Great Emperor Donald Trump. An example of how the survival of
the fittest works when money enters the game.
No, Donald Trump is not the real scare, as bad as he is. The real
scare are all those crazy white boys being placed in key positions.
Heads of government, judges and diplomats. They will drag us right
back to when America was Truly Great(truly great means white male)

_It's Even Worse than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to
America_
by David Cay Johnston
The Trump administration started with a blatant lie in which he and his
communications director, Sean Spicer, claimed that his inauguration was the
widest attended and watched inauguration EVER, which was easily disproved.
Things have descended from that point. Kellyanne Conway has insisted that
this
was merely an "Alternative Fact," and Mr. Trump commonly claims that anyone
who
demonstrates that he has lied--again--is promulgating "Fake News" intended
to
discredit his win in the 2016 election. Like a child sticking his fingers
in
his ears and singing "La la la" when someone tries to get across an
undesired
truth to him, Trump consistently insists that this is a trick by the
Democrats,
who ought to have won the election, trying to explain away their
ignominious
loss.
He has surrounded himself with a cabinet of people who for the most part
are
totally unqualified to lead the departments they were assigned to, and he
has
given them all directions to dismantle every rule and law intended to
safeguard
the environment and to promote equality amongst our citizens. Johnston
describes these as "termites" eating away at the infrastructure of our
country,
and we are already seeing the negative effects of this destructive
activity.
Late in the book, Johnston points out that Trump's policies encourage law
enforcement to be rough on those being arrested ("Just toss them in the
paddy
wagons--don't worry about them getting hurt." "You know when you put them
in
the back seat of the squad car, don't put your hand on their head to
protect
them.") He's encouraged the crowds in his rallies to punch those he thinks
are
there to criticize him. He thinks that if teachers are armed, they will
magically prevail with a handgun against killers armed with automatic
weapons.
He's described neo-Nazis and white supremacists as being "fine people" whom
he
apparently sees as being morally equivalent with those who
counter-demomstrate
against them. And he is seeking to build up the armed forces while cutting
financing for health, education, social security, medicare and medicaid,
and
just about any other program intended to support those who are unable to
provide
for themselves. He continuously vilifies the mainstream media at the same
time
he courts them, desperate for any praise he could possibly pry from them
while
refusing to do anything constructive to actually build up our nation.
His role models are Vladimir Putin and other dictators, and it's pretty
plain he
wants to join their ranks. And he apparently believes that if he can
militarize
the police and get the Pentagon behind him, he will possibly be able to
become
"President for Life" here in our nation.
This is well researched, with facts taken from the public record. It is not
a
book we should ignore, and I encourage everyone to read it. It is available
in
all possible media. I both downloaded it from Audible and to my Nook in
e-book
format.
