The rule is now:
If Trump does it, it is a OK.
Trump II's maxim is:
Saying or doing whatever in the present moment to optimize his image, his power, his greatness.
The more adulation the better .
Blind loyalty is required. Anything less will be steamrolled.
Difference, criticism or simply another viewpoint may bring out Trump II's vengeful side. Like an angry god or scorned king, Trump II sees no constraints on his retaliation.
Irritated members of the Supreme Court made clear to lower court judges their failure to follow precedence.
Yet, the Donarch issued another decree.
President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute people for burning the American flag, an activity that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled is legitimate political expression protected by the U.S. Constitution.Trump's speech is privileged, protected and endless. Yours? Not so much.
However, you are free to offer him compliments ceaselessly.
Your principles and memories of America and what it stands for are irrelevant to Trump II. His America is coming and coming and coming and coming via a barrage of savage whims.
Notwithstanding (in spite of) anything and everything. That's Trump II's will.
My wise friend offered:
Who is going to stop him? Little by little the National Guard comes to every big city. Homeland Security becomes the SS "All Hail Commander-in-Chief" from K Street to Wall Street to Silicon Valley back to Mar A Lago and Palm Beach Island. The power elite are protected and know what is best for you.
Opportunity, like speech, is for the limited and politically connected few. Meanwhile, Trump II, the digital Caligula, accumulates gobs of new wealth on his goal to a $200 billion net worth by January 2029.
Is his political hornet's nest just an obfuscation for his obscene wealth accumulation and usurpation of public assets? Maybe, maybe not. I think it's both. That's just who Donald Trump is, a bully, a prick, a con and a horse's behind. Many can say otherwise, but that does not remove the underlying truth.
Update: I erred in quoting my wise friend, initially noting PBI as the Palm Beach airport. He let me know he meant Palm Beach Island where many private equity legends have palatial estates, Stephen Schwarzman, Henry Kravis, & Wilbur Ross to name a few. The airport does make it easy for other PEUs to fly in and appeal to Trump II when he holds court at Mar-a-Lago. So I wasn't totally off the mark. I just missed the home greed and leverage boys.
