Trump’s Mein Kampf

The man with the unruly haircut and the orange face has decided to take it one step further. How better to garner attention and to bolster support from like-minded individuals than to invoke the name of the most hated man on the planet. Adolf Hitler’s manifesto, “Mein Kampf,” provided the stepping stone for Nazi Germany and ultimately led to the murder of more than 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.

Trump insists he has never read the book. Does Orange Jesus have a hidden love affair with the deceased Adolf Hitler? On December 19, 2023, Trump spoke at a campaign event in Waterloo, Iowa telling the crowd gathered there that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America echoing Hitler’s language used to describe his enemies. Then the man, Trump, who is known for speaking from both ends went on to say, “It’s true. They’re destroying the blood of the country, they’re destroying the fabric of our country and we’re going to have to get them out!” When he was president, he asked his chief of staff, retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” Kelly responded by saying, Nazi generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” Did it sink in? Obviously not! Later, he boasted that German Chancellor Angela Merkel had told him there was “only one leader in history who had attracted crowds as large as Trump.” He went on to say, “She told me she was amazed at the size of the crowds that came to see me speak. She told me that there was only other political leader who ever got crowds as big as mine.”

Huh?!! You do know she was talking about Hitler right? Perhaps the orange paste you slater on your face and the accumulated wax buildup in your ears has altered your sense of reality or more specifically your sense of right and wrong. Is Trump a dictator-in-training? According to Seth Meyers, Trump has changed his opinions on almost everything but for one thing. ”He used to be pro-choice, now he’s anti-abortion. He used to be for gun control, now he’s against it. But the one thing he’s been consistent on his entire life is his support for dictators.” He has a long standing love affair for them. Meyers went on to say, “Trump has been very clear that in the second term he will aspire to be a dictator by using the language of dictators.” Oh what lofty aspirations that is. Someone should tell him that the world does not speak the language of dictators or neither does it take kindly to it except for a few.

Whether he has read Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is not the question here. If you are echoing Hitler every time you open your mouth, IS! Orange Jesus instigated the January 6th insurrection. In a 70-minute address he pleaded and cajoled his supporters to march on Congress and the attack began just moments after he took the applause. Perhaps the more appropriate question might be, does he have a little Hitler running around inside him just busting to get out? Mein Kampf translated means my struggle and perhaps that folks is the real problem here.

Is is not about the size of his hands, his orange persona or the words he uses over and over again like HUGE, GREAT or whatever else he deems fit. It is about what he will bring to the table, the presidential table. Is he a moderate? That’s a big no. Is he a dictator in the making? What do you think?

Loose Lips Sink Ships

An article about President Trump and his inability to keep “secrets.”

The 45th President is in hot water again and this just days after the controversial firing of FBI Director, James Comey. The president alleged that the firing was due to Comey “not doing a good job,” and instead of leaving it at that, he went on to tweet a thinly veiled threat suggesting that there was a taped recording of his conversation with Comey further adding, “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.” That threw him into the eye of the hurricane where he has been ever since.

As if that wasn’t enough to throw his presidency into a downward spiral, the president was off and running to his next debacle. This one involves allegations that he divulged classified information to Russian diplomats in the Oval Office. The Washington Post reported that Trump revealed highly classified information on the Islamic State group during his meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kialyak. Yes folks, ignorance is bliss and where the new President is concerned, it’s enough to “sink ships,” or his Presidency.

The latest morsel of “red meat” was just what the press needed to send them scrambling to get the best angle on the developing story as dreams of “impeachment” riddled through the minds of die-hard Trump haters. Not so fast people. There is such a thing as damage control and the White House has been doing just that sending in the “big guns” to take care of business. If Spicer’s “stare down the press” tactics hasn’t worked, well, maybe sending in National Security Advisor HR McMaster might just do the job. In his no-nonsense fashion, he denied that the President had revealed, “Intelligence sources or methods,” but reviewed, “a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation.” Was that enough to calm the “storm” and bring it to a screeching halt? Guess again.

Trump’s questionable tweets and actions have put his Presidency in turmoil once again and not even all the President’s men and women can put it back together again. This latest drama is one of his own making and if he doesn’t stop shooting off tweets from the White House during the early morning hours instead of getting some sleep, this situation is only going to get worse. Perhaps, he should take a tip from the 44th President, Barack Obama, when the going gets tough, go golfing. There is no better way to let off some steam than by shooting a small ball into a round hole at the same time cussing under your breath about all the wrongs of the world that needs righting. A surefire way to keep the lid on an explosive situation and you come off looking like a winner.

One last thing, the office of the President deserves a modicum of decorum and spouting off “secrets” at the drop of a coin and shooting off tweets like a teenager is not the way to get it.

Trumpenitus

A light-hearted look at the Trump Presidency.

To tell you the truth, I’ve got a love-hate relationship with the 45th President, Donald J. Trump. I guess I’ve got more then that going, I’ve developed a symptom I would like to call Trumpenitus. Read on to find out what it is.

I liked him well-enough at the beginning of his run for the White House. He was funny and a breath of fresh air compared to the other stiff-necked candidates. I could see that it wasn’t going to be politics as usual with him. There was something in the air, some may call it a bunch of “bull” but that slogan, “Make America Great Again,” had me singing his praises and it caught on like wild-fire with his supporters leaving the one other significant candidate, Hillary Clinton, free-falling and into nothingness.

Against all odds, he went on to win the Presidency leaving Democrats in the dust asking, “What happened here?” The 45th President was voted in and inaugurated with pomp and circumstance and I was still on the Trump bandwagon waving my flag and standing tall and with a big smile on my face. I told a friend, “I think he’ll be good for the country. Perhaps he’ll turn things around and “Make America Great Again.” My friend an ardent but sour grapes Democrat was crushed and replied, “You must be out of your mind.” Looking back I must have been or I simply had Trumpenitus, a gushing in my ear of all things Trump. Yes, I was full of it or of something or rather.

It’s been a roller-coaster ride and only a little more than a 100 days into his Presidency when the alarm bells starting ringing. First, it was the banning of Muslims from certain countries. Let’s just say that was obvious since he had been hinting about it throughout his campaign. It was nothing new but to actually put a ban into effect took gumption and a narrow-eyed focus. My first reaction was, “How’s this going to work?” I didn’t think it was fair and with the rise of hate crimes against Muslims in the country, I knew that it would only escalate the situation and cause more problems. I told myself to take the wait and see approach. Perhaps, he had a plan and maybe the ringing in my ears and head might come to a screeching halt. I could only pray but I was still hanging onto that bandwagon, the Trump wagon that is.

No chance, it took off again when he okayed the strike against Syria with very little media hoopla. Gone were the days of putting every move and strategic advantage out there so that the media could dissect every little detail and when the administration finally made a move, the enemy had packed up their assets and left town. This was refreshing indeed, finally a Commander-in-Chief who was willing to show the world, “Who’s the boss?” Good, the love-shine hadn’t worn off yet.

Oh wait, I spoke too soon. Now, the tweets were coming in fast and furious and the digs at the media was causing more than a flurry. They, the media, was waging war on the President except of course for Fox News. They were his darlings (talking about the moderators on Fox News) and could do no wrong as far as he was concerned. Suddenly, North Korea was looming high and mighty and hissing at the fringes. Tough talk from the President didn’t do much to soothe the situation or calm the chubby dictator and get him off his stool of arrogance. Ok, here we go, I thought. He’s going to get us in a war. Trigger-happy? Perhaps.

Trumpenitus was in full swing by now. Tax cuts, picking fights like a school yard bully, border wall disputes, deportation of illegal immigrants, repeal and replace Obamacare and repeal Michelle Obama’s healthy school lunch plans. Did I miss anything? Probably but who cares. Just when I thought I had a grasp on one idea, he was off and running to another. Oh Lord, I need something for the ringing….. He’s making my ears ring and my head spin at the same time! What happens when you take on too much in a minimum amount of time? Your guess is as good as mine.

In a nutshell, the 45th President, Donald J. Trump wants to do good for the country but I wonder if he’s on a fast-track to disaster because of the speed-cycle he’s chosen? His chart-busting moves is making me sick. I need a doctor fast!
