This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

I am sometimes bothered and confounded with the Trump line. That line inside of Donald Trump. A moron, a miscreant and first grade daydreamer with the attention span of a gnat on crack. On paper, this guy should have blown up years ago. He should have blowed up real good! Yet, like a Zombie apocalypse he just keeps coming back, like a bad rash.

Is it instinct or just an ingrained experience?

“Deranged Jack Smith has just asked for a trial on the Biden Indictment to take place on January 2nd., just ahead of the important Iowa Caucuses,”

Complaining bitterly about a court date huh? Trump would complain if you let him pick out the date himself. Then the cheese begins to slide off the cracker.

 “Only an out of touch lunatic would ask for such a date, ONE DAY into the New Year, and maximum Election Interference with IOWA! Such a trial, which should never take place due to my First Amendment Rights, and massive BIDEN CORRUPTION, should only happen, if at all, AFTER THE ELECTION. The same with other Fake Biden Indictments. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”

Woah, calm down grandpa; we will find the remote control for you after you take your pills and calm down some. The message was about Trump’s court date and then it just sort of went a little crazy there for a second. With each sentence building in rage on the last. Till, “Fake Biden Indictments. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”

Somebodies in a rage, but is it real, or simply simple grist for the simple simpletons? Bang on the bars of the monkey cage a few times to keep the cultists critters all riled up. “Who loves ya, baby?”

Or are they just the ramblings of an aging mob boss, living in Florida. Who probably says the exact same things when his lunch isn’t served on time. “A cheeseburger! How hard is it to get a cheeseburger on time around here?”

“Only an out of touch lunatic would ask for such a date, ONE DAY into the New Year, and maximum Election Interference with IOWA! Such a trial, which should never take place due to my First Amendment Rights, and massive BIDEN CORRUPTION, should only happen, if at all, AFTER THE ELECTION. The same with other Fake Biden Indictments. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”

I noticed everything was spelled correctly. Trump is not so incompetent as to let his spelling slip. Even if he has someone else typing. It shows a presence of mind, being smart enough to know enough to have someone else do it. A narcissist in a rage wouldn’t care.

So how much of this is monster myth and how much is true fine moron performance art? A simple ploy to enchant his supporters and beguile his adversaries. Rage and blow your top! Without saying much of anything . Just vent the themes and cry with that same old reprise. “Look what they have done to my song Ma!”

Trump’s rant while appearing unhinged strikes all the familiar Reich-wing chords. First Amendment Rights! Biden Corruption and Election Interference. Trump covered all his bases in 50 words or less. That does show some executive ability. Sending a succinct message to the faithful in code, while appearing to be in the throes of an insane rant.

Admittedly, the circles around the drain are getting closer and moving faster for Trump. But there he is bigger than life, and still standing. Still unbowed and still unrepentant. Still ready to fight all those losing legal battles to come, and not a hint of quit in him anywhere.

True, someone else is paying for the attorneys.  And these are the best lawyers available, not the best in town. That ship has already sailed, yet Trump fights on. Teams of lawyers working numerous cases and possible cases and investigations. An absolute gordian’s knot of legal ropery. Willing to fight it out to the end, while carrying a large lump of ice to the North Pole.

You know, like when the cops have the house surrounded and called out the swat team. There is a helicopter circling overhead, and they’re just about ready to fire tear gas in through the window. When most criminals finally understand, “You got me! I give up!” Not this one, he won’t ever strike his colors, not ever.

Perhaps it is all a part of his Narcissistic shell to shield and prevent the dumb dinosaur from any unbiased information slipping through? A mantra of innocence and projection. “I’m rubber, you’re glue. What bounces off me sticks to you. I didn’t do that! Hunter Biden did that! Election Interference!” And what about? What about?

How long can that message continue to sell? Will the cultist ever tire of hearing their master’s voice? Proclaiming his innocence time after time to the crowds of the great unwashed, yet again.

There is a big difference between a pollster and a polling station. The crowd cheerfully tells the pollster of their undying love for Trump. But how many are actually willing to get up off the couch and stand in line for hours, when the outcome appears bleak anyway.  How many of them can even name some of the other candidates besides Mike Pence or Ron DeSantis? How many just say the name Trump automatically when asked on autopilot, because they didn’t know what else to say.

Could you imagine living under the pressure of two federal indictments and one state case and one waiting in the wings?  And the outcome looks poorly for you in each of them. Which means appeals and more appeals, taking this shit all the way to the Supreme court in a year or two. (Don’t worry dear, we can afford the new house now.)

There are only two ways I suspect; a body could handle all that kind of pressure. Either by having a cool personality (Temperature wise. Not cool like groovy.) Able to compartmentalize and carefully process the information. Or a complete moron with the attention span of a squirrel too dumb to let reality in to bother him.

How much of Trump is an act? The man in an orange gorilla suit. A third-rate ham actor playing the part of Donald Trump who drops out of character whenever they yell, cut!  Living inside a bubble isolated from the world. With lawyers for breakfast and lawyers for lunch, lawyers forever and with his wife Malaria Trump. I bet those are some fun & interesting conversations. I bet his wife always agrees with him on everything all the time, right fellas?

The fact is we don’t really know Donald Trump at all. Nobody really knows him, there is just what Trump chooses to show us. The incompetent raging boob who always get’s his point across. Making accusations and threats against prosecutors and judges, just one millimeter away from over the edge.

Not just off the cuff remarks, but carefully crafted and calculated off the cuff remarks. Too smart to be that dumb and too dumb to be that smart. A cool calculating mind or a clumsy clod just faking it, too stupid to pour piss from a boot.
