Rethinking Trump, Part Two

BUT, THEN AGAIN, it may well be that my bumper sticker ought to stay put. "Unfit To Serve:Impeach Trump" seems more fitting every day, what with Trump-related scandals and investigations mounting well into the double digits. What, there are now seventeen ongoing, including the one in which the newly elected Attorney General of the great state of New York announced that the Trump foundation, so precipitous in its closing just a day or so ago, needed some looking into, on account of its tendency to neglect actual charitable giving, and to focus instead on distributing its funds for the purpose of defending its eponymous namesake in lawsuits alleging that the Don raises his flags a bit too high, and other matters, some minor, some significant. The trump foundation is evidently quite a racket, one in which wealthy donors make contributions for the express purpose of lowering their tax bills, and its managers do what they please with the acquired resources, as long as said resources benefit nobody other than he after whom the foundation is named. No less scandalous is the real life scenario in which the United States Department of Defense for years informs us that the greatest single threat to American national security is climate change, precipitated by no less an esteemed gang of thugs than humanity itself, and the President, in true gangster fashion, proceeds to proclaim his belief that the climate will "change back" some fine sunshine filled day, and to appoint people top positions within his administration, such as Director or the Environmental Protection Agency, whose ostensible purpose is to aid and abet the very process they should have been hired to oppose. Its almost as if there is some sort of insidious relationship between the now defunct Trump foundation and the anti-climate change community, consisting largely of conservative Christian republicans, in which money is "kicked back" into the foundation, having been allocated, in cash only disbursements, to fight the forces which fight climate change, by assisting the forces which assist its progress. From all this we learn at least two lessons, if not more. They are as follows: when one becomes president with the aid of foreign operatives and only because of the whimsical realities of the antiquated American electoral system (to wit: the "electoral college, a mechanism designed by our founders only to prevent we the american people from possessing any real political power or influence), and one subsequently engages in corrupt practices, precipitous action is always unwise, and when one engages in reckless policy, one risks receiving a letter of resignation from one's Secretary of Defense, as well as one's Environmental Protection Agency Director.
