[Enter Macbeth]
By David Glenn Cox
Trump warns that his State of the Union speech is going to be a long one. I really appreciate the heads-up. I was torn whether to watch the speech or not. For the sake of my sanity, I leaned towards no. But this is Donald Trump, so anything is possible. He could fall down. He could wet his pants. He could pick his nose or eat a bug. He could rant about the Supreme Court and threaten to have them all executed. The fear of looking away even for a moment is overpowering.
The possibilities are endless. It’s a cross between an episode of The Twilight Zone and The Triumph of the Will. There is no doubt, the little train has left the tracks and won’t arrive at the station any time soon. Trump rants about his tariffs, threatening those who “play games” with “Worse Tariffs.” Is this tax policy or a penal colony? He says, “You know I can embargo countries.” What is going on here psychologically? Is Trump running the country or counting out helpings of strawberries?
Loose lips not only sink ships, they also sink Wall Street. The Dow Jones dropped 800 points yesterday and never stopped to ask why. Keep talking, fat boy, and watch what happens next! Bitcoin, aka shit coin blew right past $65,000 and briefly touched $63,000. Has Donnie learned anything yet? The European Union has put trade negotiations on hold. This is what Trump referred to as “playing games.” In Trump’s corroded and deteriorating brain, the EU should go ahead with a trade agreement the Supreme Court has just declared was invalid. Do it anyway! I demand it, or you’ll get worse!
Donald Trump, despite multiple lawyers explaining, still doesn’t understand. Only Congress has the power to tax, not the chief executive. He has no conception of the separation of powers. I want it! Do it anyway! I don’t have to work with Congress or anyone! Fuck that! I want it! I want it! I want it!
During the German invasion of Russia a German army division was briefly encircled by Russian forces. Hitler ordered the troops to stand fast and be supplied by air. After several days, the Germans broke out. Hitler took that meaning as the answer was always to stand fast and fight to the last bullet. When the Sixth Army was fighting in Stalingrad, they had every opportunity to retreat and avoid being encircled. But that stubborn, I want it! I want it streak came out. But Stalingrad was much different from the previous time. This time it was winter and four hundred miles further east. But the Fuhrer demanded it!
The point I’m trying to make is Trump’s desire to always have his own way now supersedes common sense. He will drive the economy off a cliff before he ever admits he was wrong and tries something else. He can’t be wrong. It’s no longer possible. The polls are flashing RED! Donald Trump is the most unpopular President EVER. But to Donald Trump, all the polls that disagree with him are fake. In his head, everything is wonderful, and everyone is happy and prosperous. It’s only his evil enemies out to get him who disagree. “They’re always a no vote, anyway!” When Trump says this is the best economy ever, he really means it! All negative news stories are fake! You cannot reach him now!
“Sitting in the bunker here behind my wall. (Waiting for the worms to come!) In perfect isolation here behind my wall. (Waiting for the worms to come.)”
With his cadre of flatterers and sycophants around him. “You did the right thing, sir! That’s telling them, sir! An ICE whistleblower testified before Congress that the administration has cut the training time in half for new ICE agents. Specifically, they cut out the limitations and liabilities of an officer. The rules an officer must follow under the Constitution. You don’t need a warrant to push your way into someone’s home. If you feel threatened, just shoot em! All in the name of expediency. The administration wants 12,000 new agents before the end of the year, or maybe November. And if they have to take a few shortcuts, I want it! I want it! I want it! “Yes, sir! Yes, sir! I’m on it, sir!”
Kash Patel shows his drunken ass at the Winter Olympic Games. Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski carry on a public affair, despite being married to other people. The king sees nothing! He’s busy watching his enemies! He knows Barack Obama said aliens were real. But he doesn’t know anything about Lauren Bobert demanding Rep. Tony Gonzales resign for his genuinely creepy behavior.
But Trump is so transactional, he wouldn’t care. Is he one of ours? Well, then, fuck it then. It means nothing! Trump is so out of touch that it isn’t that he won’t pick up the phone. In his mind, there is no phone! He’s always right! “They all love me! I’m so popular, I can hardly stand it myself sometimes. “I’m ready for my close-up now, Mr. Deville.”
After Trump’s monkeys copyrighted the name “Donald J. Trump International Airport.” The Floriduh legislature suddenly decided to rename the Palm Beach International Airport after the President. I wonder where that idea ever came from? I want it! I want it! I want it! Of course, this has nothing to do with Trump trying to extort New York to rename the airport or the train station after him. It’s just one of those crazy coincidences.
We are in some deep, deep, shit here. A President of the United States who is clearly mentally unbalanced. A narcissistic six-year-old little boy in a full-blown mental decline and eventual psychological breakdown. If current events are any indication, it is no longer a question of if, but when. Surrounded by spineless jellyfish afraid to ever say no to the lunatic. Aided by a slim congressional majority and a timid House Speaker afraid of his own shadow. A devout Catholic who ignores any sin if Satan tells him to.
The breakdown is coming, and no, I’m not a doctor, but at this point you don’t have to be. It’s obvious! So self-absorbed, everything is always about him and his fantasy world. Nations that disagree with him must be punished and not negotiated with. Congress people who disagree with him are traitors! Supreme Court Justices should be ashamed of themselves for disagreeing! Their families should be ashamed of them. This is clearly not normal.
“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Second Witch
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
[Enter Hecate, goddess of witchcraft]
Hecate
O well done. I commend your pains,
And every one shall share i’ the gains.
And now about the cauldron sing,
Like elves and fairies in a ring,
Enchanting all that you put in.
Second Witch
Something wicked this way comes.
Whoever knocks.”
