We\u2019ve known that about him for over 40 years, because of his long and tawdry history of cheating contractors, mistreating employees and renters, endless scams (including bilking a children\u2019s cancer charity), humiliating wives, and general lechery. The man is, and always has been, a pig.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also incompetent. He lost more money in business in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century than any other American businessman, and only his willingness to lie, cheat and steal kept him afloat. Casinos are almost a license to print money\u2014he bankrupted all four that he owned.<\/p>\n<p>He has no respect or use for family, friends or allies. He turns on them with monotonous regularity, and it\u2019s no accident that his most vociferous critics are family members, former associates, employees, members of his administration, and supporters. I don\u2019t include friends in that group since I doubt he has ever experienced friendship. Petless his entire life, it\u2019s no surprise that he feels no need for human contact other than commercial sex.<\/p>\n<p>He is and always has been a hateful, loathsome, despicable man, and the fact that he not only is tolerated but thrives in our society is a deep condemnation of American social values and principles.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve known this about him for decades. That\u2019s going back to his wild public fling with Marla Maples, when I saw the expression on the face of his wife\u2014the one now buried in an unmarked grave on one of his golf courses.<\/p>\n<p>So even though I was appalled at the cheap and thuggish ambush of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday, I was totally unsurprised. He had to put on a show for the only man he regards as his better, Vladimir Putin (he even snuck a \u201creporter\u201d in from the Russian propaganda outlet TASS to record the ambush for Putin\u2019s entertainment). He also had to appeal to his dwindling band of flying monkeys, the group of so-called Americans who cheer Trump and revere him as some sort of cheap Jesus figure. Including, of course, the cowardly, treasonous Republicans who are selling out their country in the vain hope of currying favor with a man who almost certainly will turn on them when they are no longer of any use. He has given Congress \u201cbattered wife syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can find videos all over the net of the seven minute meeting, and see it for yourself. It won\u2019t be pleasant\u2014not if you have any pride or self-respect, or care even faintly about your country.<\/p>\n<p>For America, it was one of the lowest points in her history. For Trump, it was just another Friday.<\/p>\n<p>But almost missing in the mountain of coverage is one of the most alarming elements in his display, the open and increasingly unstable dementia. Raving about his predecessor in office who armed Ukraine in the wake of the Russian invasion in 2018, he repeatedly referred to him as Obama. Not Biden. Obama. He also said ridiculous things, such as that Ukraine attacked Russia, or that the US gave Ukraine $350 billion, although that might just have been his characteristic Hitleresque lies, rather than senility.<\/p>\n<p>He had one of his toadies on some right wing blog attack Zelenskyy for his non-business suit garb, saying it disrespected the Oval Office\u2014the same Oval Office where Elon Musk in his goofy \u201cTech Support\u201d Tee Shirt stood not three days earlier.<\/p>\n<p>He did immense damage to the United States, and has placed the US squarely in the realm of pariah nations\u2014those with regimes like Putin\u2019s, or Xi\u2019s, or Kim\u2019s\u2014places too unstable and too inimical to American interests to be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>But the senility showed up again later, when he pardoned Pete Rose. Apparently he thinks pardoning Rose will allow him to enter baseball\u2019s hall of fame. Rose did have a criminal record: he pled guilty in 1991 to failing to disclose taxable income. He had to pay the taxes owed, serve five months in a resort prison, and do community service. It was unrelated to his MLB woes. I\u2019m not sure Trump even knew Rose had that criminal record (I had very nearly forgotten it myself) but he apparently was pardoning him from being banned from the HoF. Which, of course, he doesn\u2019t have authority to do.<\/p>\n<p>It may actually help Rose, though, because far too many of the baseball owners are cut from the same cloth of cowardice and servility that stain the American character in the face of wealth and power. So Rose may get inducted as a result, and even though I feel he should be inducted myself, under these circumstances I think it would add, rather than absolve, the air of disgrace around Rose. He\u2019s lucky he\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also made the fiat declaration that English is the official language of the US. Again, he doesn\u2019t have the authority to do that, but I\u2019m sure there are endless Nazi bigots in state legislatures avid to declare the speaking of any language other than English illegal. \u201cDid I hear you say \u2018<i>t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate\u2019? <\/i>You\u2019re for the camps, you furrin asshole!\u201d I wonder if dialects are illegal too? Is Scotty from Star Trek breaking the law in our new world ordure?<\/p>\n<p>This all comes in the middle of a massive dismantling of the United States, so in the end it may not matter, because by the time he\u2019s done with us, the US will just be another third world shithole and it won\u2019t matter what he says or does because we\u2019ll all be dead, in the camps, or terrified into utter silence.<\/p>\n<p>Unless, of course people start growing some angry self respect and love of country, and start growing it NOW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan Zepp Jamieson March 1st 2025 That Trump is vicious, deceitful and a bully has never been in question.
