Trump, Running Out the Clock

I WAS SORRY, and remain sorry, to see Kristi Noem go. And, I'll be the first to admit that its for the shallowest of reasons;I think she's hot. I doubt that I'm the only seventy year old man who thinks, nor the ony man generally; there must be at least several hundred thousand of us, if not a few million. There seems little doubt that Trump likes to hire attractive young women for high level government positions, either that, or, by sheer chance the best qualified people to run the American government are hot young women. If so, so be it. Arguably Pam Bondi, despite her vile nature, doesn't hurt ones eyeballs. Much the same can be said for Trump's good looking blonde public relations babe. Just as Trump seems to hire people for all the wrong reasons, so he seems to fire them for equally ludicrous causes, the most common one being a demonstrated ability to tell the truth about the president and to the president, instead of automatically, reflexively zombie-like reciting the company line, including expressions of veneration for the master. Trump loves to fire people, obviously. He loves exercising power ruthlessly and hurting people, evidently. He also probably enjoys hiring people, preferably by putting the through a hellish interview-interrogation process, similar to the process which attracted him so much attention, good ratings, and seeming popular approval on mainstrean American televised garbage. That Trump's springboard to the presidency was a television program which was extremely popular precisely because it was extremely cruel speaks volumes about not only American politics, but, ominously, about American culture and society as a whole. Trump got a lot of support right from the git go largely because he was widely perceived as being a skilled business person. This, largely because of his famous big time business doings, gaudy large scale projects to which Trump went to great lengths to attract media attention. Trump loves nothing more than he loves media attention, and he has for decades been expert in getting it. When he finally,mercifully leaves the presidency,don't expect him to emulate George Bush Sr. or Junior, or Barrack Obama, or Bill Clinton, or Joe Biden, and simply fade away into the background, out of the mainstream daily media limelight. You have to beieve that Trump post presidency will do everything in his power to keep his name and image on the front page. And you start to wonder what that might look like. The big question is; what will be Trump's legal situation after January 20, 2029? You would think that later in the same day that he leaves office, he and his lawyers will bebeseigedby a flurry of court appointments, law suits, legal actions of all kinds, both for and against. When he entered office for his second term, some of the thosuands of lawsuits involving Trump were put on hold, many went away or were dismissed, but some others, including many important ones, were simply continued, indefinitely. Trump will probably finish his term and leave office alive, and, even in a best case scenario for him, will doubtless be confronted with an impressive array of litigation thereafter,probably until the end of his life. Most of the ongoing legal actions agaisnt him, the ones which will resurface when he leaves office, will be postponed and delayed until he dies. The best guess is that justice will never catch up with Trump, and that he will never serve a single day in prison, although, arguably, he should be there now, and forever.
