This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

A once in a lifetime spectacle never seen before. The twenty-four-hour live action erosion and mental decline of a presidential candidate. How long can they keep it up? When each performance is progressively more frightful than last? When wandering off subject is no longer a surprise to anyone in the room. No longer a matter of “if” but only when and with what? They no longer even try to make excuses for Trump or try to clarify his remarks. It is what it is but wait! Tomorrow is another day and could be ripe with even fuller possibilities!

Who remembers Donald Trump’s unflattering remarks about Milwaukee? “Boy, does this place ever suck, or what?” Typical New Yorker; move to Florida and talk about how great New York is. How every other place in the world just sucks by comparison. So, this is a subject the campaign team has addressed before. “No, no, no! Don’t insult your host by calling their house a shit pile!”

Donald has doubled down and has left the building. You know, if you don’t elect me, this whole country will turn into a giant shit pile, just like this place! Filled to the rafters’ with nasty little shit head fuckers about like you! Could this be the straw that broke the moron’s back? I mean let’s face it. This place sucks! And you live in it! A glaring insensitivity to insensitivity. As if we are seeing glances from behind the scenery. Little by little, the real Donald Trump begins to leak out.

The persona is fading like Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Can a 78-year-old man run a vigorous campaign for President? Judges say…NO! In Detroit, Mr. Trump appeared worn down to a nub and frazzled. Speaking in low tones of simmering anger and rage. Like your dad after you wrecked his new car. Darker and more threatening and closer to the edge. Getting very near the time when they can’t turn him loose anymore. They will revert to playing video clips about Trump and not the actual Trump.

What Donald Trump actually said by inference is Detroit is the worst city in the country. What sort of sane mind would ever publicly say something like that? But it is a clear case of cognitive decline, when you have no awareness of insulting the people around you. To say whatever, you think whenever you think it, without any filter just because a little thought just popped out.

But in Colorado, Mr. Trump got even worse.

“But I protect you from outside enemies. But you know I always say, we have outside enemies, so you can say China, you can say Russia, you can say Kim Jong UN…if you have a smart president, it’s no problem.” Mr. Trump said. “It the enemy from within.”

“All the scum we have to deal with that hate our country. That’s a bigger enemy than China or Russia…Everyday Americans like Cindy live in fear because Kamala Harris decided to empty the slums and prison cells of Caracas, and many other places. Happening all over the world.” – Donald Trump

This is the ravings of a lunatic. Mein Kampf 2.0. Evil people out to subvert and destroy our country surreptitiously. “Scum!” You live in fear while “they” get a free ride. A full-fledged Fascist hate monger fearing this is his only road left open. Drop the shields and go full Fascist warlord. Intellectual disintegration where Donald Trump thinks this is needed or will possibly work with the public. Maybe, if I promise them violence, they will love me again!

Trump is reaching to do or say something or anything, to ignite the crowd’s fury. Mr. Trump knows he is in trouble in the polls and becoming delusional and pressing. “But I protect you!” says, omnipotent king of the world and parts of Alabama. Does that sound sane to you? Shouldn’t that be “we” protect you? Or perhaps, your government protects you? There’s no team in I.

What do you suppose happens in a narcissist’s campaign overloaded with bad news? Bad news is suppressed, until it’s not to be believed or listened to. Don’t tell him that! It will only upset him, and he’ll be hard to work with all day long. Focus on the good news!

Either a low IQ Fascist out to amaze the hoosters and the weed benders with his tough talk. Or a mentally ill bastard who shouldn’t be loose on the streets, who really means it. I’d put my money on the second option. Tomorrow is another day and there’s no telling what Donald might do or say tomorrow. The good news? The harder Trump throws down the further behind he gets. Do you want to tell him that or would you like your paycheck?

“Pink isn’t well. He stayed back at the hotel.” The candidate becomes more and more isolated. He’s through listening to the eggheads and Yale 92. He’s Donald Trump, resident expert on all things known and unknown.

“They took criminals out of Caracas, and they put them along your border, and they said if you ever come back, we’re going to kill you.” – Donald Trump

Using the exact same language Adolf Hitler once used. This is a very sick man. A man coming apart at the seams in mental decline right before our eyes. At this rate of decline, Trump will be eating applesauce through a straw before election day. Giving a sense of the Trump campaign just going through the motions until the very last day. Just let him do whatever he’s going to do. It won’t make any difference now anyway.

Groucho’s only joking, Trump isn’t!
