Seems to be his ultimate goal
no matter what...
Introduction to this Post: I am not a shrink and never even played one on TV as they
say, but I am a pretty good study of people and their ways that is based a lot
of years of experience in a variety of face-to-face contacts with people I
needed to talk to on short notice. Like in my years as a Marine interrogator when
I had to walk into a room to face a total stranger and work to get valuable
info from them sometimes in a very short period of time that I needed either
voluntarily from them or getting it without them even knowing they were giving
up valuable information.
Those techniques have helped
me try and figure out Donald J. Trump just like I do when I meet a new person for
the first time – not to interrogate them, but to see who they really are deep
down inside. Call it a habit or hobby that I have had for years.
With that said, here’s what I
see about Donald J. Trump – for what it’s worth.
Trump achieved becoming president
as a novelty of sorts. He had never been in any elected office and never even
tried until this endeavor.
He had a TV reality show. He
boasts about his business skills even though he has failed on so many levels it’s
hard to keep track.
He is kind of egomaniac in
layman’s terms, but with this clear clarification of that that means: “Egomania
is psychologically abnormal. The term egomania is often used by
laypersons in a pejorative fashion to describe an individual who is intolerably
self-centered. However, the clinical condition that most resembles that concept
is really “narcissistic personality disorder.” That is more apt for him
and the word we hear very often.
He always has to
be #1. He always has to be the one at the top. Even most of his failures are based
on lies, deceit, and flim-flam tricks and con artist stunts that would shame Bernie
Madoff or any Charles Ponzi family member as he brushes obvious lies with his own
version of the facts.
Also, recall and measure all
that he did and said during the GOP primary races and all he has done and said since
taking office. His family basically is running the country like an annex of Trump,
Inc.
His insults continue like his
latest insult directed at the Mayor of London following the most-recent attacks
(seen here). Then add everything else worldwide wherein he has offended almost
every ally we still have. A dark picture for sure. Trump will call all that the “art
of the deal” I prefer to call it the “art of the con.”
In essence Trump he is either
the smartest, most-clever genius ever, or he’s dumber than a sack of rocks. I happen
to think he is not very bright, a certain business savvy, yes, to get his way
and no other way. Just listen to him speak with his limited vocabulary and how
he emphasizes key words over and over in a single sentence or speech mostly to fluff
up and praise himself and his own perceived achievements – whether they are true
or not does not matter since he will make them true no matter what the facts
say otherwise – it’s force of habit for him and his second nature.
In short: He
swims in the shallow end of intellect pool — case examples:

All this leads me, and I’m sure
a lot of others also, to conclude there is one more obvious thing that Trump needs and wants
more than life itself, and that is the image of him above in that cartoon –
which I believe is not far from the truth.
Trump for all practical purposes
is single-handedly starting to retool America in his image and that for which Stephen
Bannon wants him to do, and that is to “deconstruct
America.”
Case in point:
Bannon can seem to be not just a focused voice behind
Trump, but almost a messianic one when he once said: “Like Andrew Jackson's populism, we're going to build
an entirely new political movement. It's everything related to jobs. The
conservatives are going to go crazy. I'm the guy pushing a trillion-dollar
infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it's
the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Shipyards, ironworks, get them
all jacked up. We're just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it
sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930’s, greater than the Reagan
revolution — conservatives plus populists in an economic nationalist movement.”
Several days after the
Trump inauguration, Bannon told the NY TIMES: “The media should be
embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.
I want you to quote this: The media here is the opposition party. They
don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is
the president of the United States.”
Clearly this seems to be our future right not … so, are you happy, pleased, satisfied? Probably only
Bannon-clones and Trump loyalists who are anti-everything in sight are still
jumping with joy and sticking with him.
Rough days lie ahead … sadly, what can the public expect or do?
Actually, it’s up to Congress and right now – our fate and future are in their
hands since “We the People” just do not know as we stare into the dark abyss.
Stay tuned – hopefully all the Congressional committees will serve the
people as they profess they do all the time. We shall see.
Hopefully it will it be “Country first”
and not “Donald J. Trump first.”
