Benedict Donald

By David Glenn Cox

President defect, Donald Trump has switched sides. He’s no longer on the side of Ukraine. No longer on the side of Europe, and no longer on the side of the Western world. He’s sold us out for some go juice. He’s sold out the United States and sold out any remaining credibility we might have had left in the world. And he’s left our nation a pariah in world opinion. The United States once sold treasury bills as much for their stability as for their return. They were a good place to park your money in troubled times, based on the stability of the United States alone. What stability is there now? What kind of whacky European or Asian fool would buy US Treasury bills today?

Not since Neville Chamberlain climbed off of that DC-3 waving his letter from Herr Hitler has there been such an obvious act of political treachery. What is Donald Trump’s word worth today? To literally make a deal with the devil rather than to admit his own mistake and take his own medicine. The obvious answer is to admit that attacking Iran was a big mistake (Like everyone told him) and make peace and let the oil flow freely. But admitting to a mistake is not possible for Benedict Donald. His mental malfunctions won’t allow it. He must always be right, no matter how wrong.

In Dickens’ immortal classic,  “A Christmas Carol,” Scourge asked. Are these the things that must be or things which will be? These are the things which needn’t be, but which cannot be avoided now, due to his mental degeneracy. Find me any act by any President of any party at any time of a similar scope. Republican legislators awake from their slumbers to find the king has painted them into their corners. Now they arise seeking political survival and personal salvation, but it is too late for them now. They’ve enabled a madman and put him on the highest throne in the whole world, and now he’s going to take them all down to hell with him.

Benedict Donald often brags about how the United States needs nothing from the rest of the world. We have everything! We produce lots of oil, but where is our diesel fuel? Why are we running so short? Why do we have to turn our backs on our friends and humble ourselves to our adversaries? Benedict Donald has a nasty little secret he’s been keeping from you. All those great big giant oil tanks you see around the country hold our rainy day supply and that rainy day has come, and the supply is quickly running out. Oil traders speculate that when it’s gone, a barrel of oil could reach $200. Seven dollars a gallon for gasoline and ten dollars a gallon for diesel fuel. Obviously, that is apocalyptic, and the US economy would go into hyperinflation.

I was amused this morning to see that amoral Wall Street was happy that Benedict Trump had made a deal to rescue them from the gallows, by making a deal with the devil. Save us today, so that we may all die tomorrow! Wall Street won’t escape the coming apocalypse. Who will buy those jet planes from Boeing now? Who will purchase those American fighter jets, when we can’t be counted on not to change sides mid-conflict?

The European Union is hopping mad, and Asian nations are stunned. Hitler and Stalin have signed a mutual assistance treaty! The world is left in the lurch and unbalanced. Whose side are the Americans really on? But there is another nasty little secret in conjunction with the first nasty little secret. Benedict Donald says he has a big decision to make. Then, he says he won’t attack Iran until after the midterm elections. Surprise! He lied. He’s already made that decision, and he’s begun moving the troops and assets into place to make good on it. I’ve heard this war song before. Mr. Trump intends on widening his Iran war and the Congress and the people are powerless to stop him.

What friends does the United States have left in the world today, besides a murderous Russian war criminal? We have none. Even the Pope would flip us off. Benedict Donald did that for you! We are a rogue nation now, no different from Saddam’s Iraq or Pol Pot’s Cambodia. We are untrustworthy, corrupt, and conceited. A nightmare scenario of a madman playing with himself and playing with nuclear weapons. What is Benedict Donald capable of? Rather, what isn’t Benedict Donald capable of?  

Nature abhors a vacuum, and Donald Trump sucks. Providence has turned her back on us, and foolishness has given us our Lucifer. It’s too late to cry now. The dominoes are already beginning to fall. Trump has sicked his Injustice Department on the five television networks for standing together, when he banned media outlets that he didn’t like from the White House. It angered him so that they stuck together, and now they must be made to pay. You can see the feedback loop is moving ever faster. His revenge is becoming sharper and more frenetic. He’s gone mad! He wants a Peace Prize while he advocates for public executions.

Anything goes, Joe, hell’s a poppin! But like any Trump-fevered fantasy, there is always a question of legitimacy. What steel mill in Iowa? What Foxconn in Wisconsin? What diesel fuel from Russia? Is it real or purely a product of a crumbling, diseased mind? Would Vladimir Putin ever lie to Benedict Trump to get what he wants? And when she got there, the cupboard was bare, and so the poor motorist had none. Due to unfortunate delays, of course. Six weeks before the first drop ever reaches the country. Maybe yes, maybe no. He sold us out for a three-day supply of diesel fuel. Hosanna! We’re saved!

Nikita Khruschev was correct. We will sell them the rope they will hang us with! And be proud of the price they got for it, too! Enjoy your tax cuts, fellows you will pay for them with your blood. Your businesses are soon ruined and your fortunes soon lost, and your futures are as dark as those of us humble peons. Someday Elon Musk and I will have the same amount of money in our bank accounts, and I won’t have gained a single dollar. Greed cometh before the fall.

Benedict Trump has isolated us and placed us clearly within the sphere of evil. It’s just us and Vladimir Putin now! Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court. What a surprise! I understand, Al Capone didn’t like courts either. It’s strange in a mythical sort of way how history operates, how empires are broken in connection with Russia. Napoleon, Hitler, and now Trump.

    I find myself ticking things of your list .

    America, pariah state. Tick. Trump lying since he was old enough to speak. Tick. War in Iran has ruined the world for his personal vanity. Tick. Nobody in their right mind ever trusting America again, even when he is is dead. Tick.

    So many Americans say “It wasn’t me, I didn’t vote for him”. But some of those sat on their sofas, expecting him to lose. Then when he won, and did crazy shit, nobody lifted a finger to stop him. (Tick)

    David, sorry to say, but it is all of you, not just Trump. America is now despised and reviled the world over, and that is the fault of everyone who lives there, living their personal ‘American Dream’. Not just him. Shared on Twitter.

    Best wishes, Pete.
