This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

I want to be wrong, but I don’t believe that I am. I want to stand corrected, but I don’t believe I will be. I don’t want to sound cynical, but I don’t want to look like a clueless a fool either. You’ll never convince me Al Capone could cure cancer or Hitler wrote children’s books. You’ll never convince me Stalin was a great parliamentarian or tigers were converted to veganism with a simple moral lecture.

The very idea that Donald Trump could solve a problem where good and honorable men have failed. Is to believe in Santa Claus. The biggest fraud and consummate world criminal to come down the pike in some eighty years! Has brought peace in the Middle East? Not in a million years! Donald Trump has never done anything in his entire miserable life that wasn’t good for Donald Trump first.

A Gordian knot and a problem without a solution. The Palestinians want the Israelis to go away. The Israelis want the Palestinians to leave them alone. But the Palestinians can’t leave the Israelis alone because the Israelis won’t go away. Both Palestinian and Israeli children are taught the same thing. That the other is no good.

Jimmy Carter, Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin. Olympic games, air piracy, murder, murder and more murder. And the answer was Donald Trump, all along? In a pig’s eye! Bernie Madoff’s going to help me with my finances! Charles Manson is going to teach me to play the guitar! Jeffery Dahmer is opening a social club.

It’s like something out of the Bible, far too fantastic and incredible to be either true or believable. The antiChrist just brought us peace. The lion lies down with the lamb and the lamb wakes up sheared and on the menu. Never forget, Adolph Hitler was on the cover of Time magazine three times! At one time, people believed Hitler was doing great things in Germany.

I’m not new around here. I’ve been following Donald Trump’s career arc for some time now. And in all my years of watching, I’ve yet to see Donald Trump do anything successfully. He cheats at golf and cheats on his wives. He cheats at business and cheats on his taxes. The man is completely disreputable, dishonest, and murderous. He has no good intentions or altruistic visions. If you sign a deal with Donald Trump, get ready. Because you are about to get fucked. Trump’s only concern in the entire world is what does Donald Trump get?

Earlier this year, the king gave us a glimpse at his plans for Gaza. A big, beautiful Las Vegas style Trump hotel and casino on Mediterranean beach front property. Just like the ones he bankrupted in Atlantic City! With a docile Palestinian tribe parking cars and making beds at the hotel. A beautiful new 18-hole “Trail of Tears” golf course with Palestinian caddies. Do you have a reservation for the reservation? Would you like to buy a condo on the good side of town, far from the branded locals?

From a Palestinian standpoint, I understand. Israel was in the process of exterminating them. (Think native Americans) But this is not my first rodeo and I’ve seen this all before. This isn’t the first deal promising peace, but realistically, it may be the last. That bad taste in the mouth and buyer’s remorse is so common when dealing with Donald Trump.

Hamas was on the streets yesterday in Gaza. Still in charge and still carrying automatic weapons. They were hurt and hurt bad, but now they have a new life and can rebuild and start again. With new tunnels and new bunkers. New missiles and a rising generation angrier than ever. Not to just lose their land to the Israelis but to lose what’s left of it to the American Capitalists who will put them on reservations and make them second-class citizens in their own homes.

To kill Israelis is to bother the United Snakes. So, enemies of the United Snakes are always eager to fund the resistance to Israel. Russia and Iran send money, tools and equipment not to hurt Israel, but to be a thorn in the side of the United Snakes. A proxy war and left-over vestige of the Cold War. Willing propagandized kamikaze puppets by the thousands lining up to die for their noble, futile and eternal cause.

But now, Donald Trump is involved. Oh lord, No! Nothing but nothing, Donald Trump does ever ends well; it always ends badly. Is bringing peace to the Middle East easier or harder than running an airline? Or selling steaks or running a fake charity or a fake university? The inevitable ending is preordained and set in stone and the people in this country already know that. Donald Trump is a career criminal and an insane madman. The only good thing Donald Trump will ever do on this earth will be to leave it.

Now we are going to put American troops in Gaza as peacekeepers aka “targets!” What does Trump think this is, Portland? American troops as peacekeepers? Class, please open your textbooks to page Vietnam. Peacekeepers! Donald Trump and Paregoric Pete Hegseth, odorless, colorless and obnoxious. If you’re looking for failure. Here is your dream team.

Look around at what Donald Trump has done to this country and prepare yourself for the worst. You can’t make a crooked man straight. You can’t make an evil man good. You can’t make the antiChrist into Jesus. There is one thing of which I am eternally certain of. Donald Trump is the problem and not the solution.

Trump flies to the Middle East to visit his new investment property. Now here’s your chance to get in on the ground floor. Pre-construction condo prices will never be lower! With a casino and a pool. Probably all financed by the United Nations.

Oh, mortality, save us! I’ve come to believe that black and purple discoloration on the back of Trump’s hand is actually his natural skin color and all else is painted on. He is an evil, evil man and trusting Trump to untie the Gordian knot is like giving a baby a hand grenade.
