Donald J. Trump
The president has been robbing our country blind, in plain sight, and in ways no one else would dare to attempt. Never in the long history of our country have we seen a period of such innovation, boldness, and growth in any area of our economic, social, or political lives.
It is an achievement that is almost impossible to comprehend. That is due in part to the fact that what is now happening was supposed to be impossible. Obstacle after obstacle stood in the way. For centuries, other men have sought to achieve what Trump has accomplished—and yet, he has outshone them all.
, in which he tells an apocryphal tale he asserts occurred when he was a young boy. Cellini, a famed Renaissance-era goldsmith and sculptor, wrote that he witnessed a small lizard run into his family’s hearth, directly into the fire, and then emerge unscathed. Immediately afterward, his father slapped him across the face and explained that he did so so his son would always remember what he had just seen. , however, it seems unlikely it will emerge unscathed.
Indeed, it is unclear whether it will survive the ordeal at all. No work of Cellini or any other artist or craftsman matches the genius of what Trump is achieving in the area of his greatest gifts. , Donald Trump is Michelangelo and da Vinci plus Bach and Mozart combined. He is a genius.
He is creative in ways that make past generations of American grifters, robber barons, and mafia bosses seem like pikers.
Indeed, it is fair to suggest that if you took every other corrupt figure who stole from our public coffers from the first days of the republic until now and multiplied their larceny times that of every” with the U.S. Department of Justice that follows his commands like a dutiful beagle to take $1.776 billion in tax dollars out of the U.S. Treasury and give it to his supporters and friends and co-conspirators and indeed, perhaps—because we do not have any information to the contrary—to his family and himself, is only his most recent achievement in criming, though certainly one of the most stunning.
With this bold stroke, Trump may well use taxpayer dollars—your money and mine, precious dollars from government accounts too depleted to allow us to pay for the care of our most needy citizens—to pay off members of the mob of thugs thatand other DOJ officials—who all ought to swiftly be disbarred—to arrange what almost certainly is the first taxpayer-funded domestic coup attempt in the history of the United States. The move is eye-wateringly audacious. Had Trump walked into Fort Knox with a shopping cart and walked out with it filled with gold bullion, the theft would not be more obvious or outrageous. Yet Trump—and here is what is certainly part of his genius—has orchestrated a chorus of acceptance, support, and enabling from many of America’s most powerful leaders. , three of whom he appointed personally.
The GOP “leadership” in Congress has remained supine, while the Republican Party nationwide has stood up and sought to be counted as his accomplices in this extraordinary heist. Further, what makes the achievement of our grandmaster of malfeasance so exceptional is that it is just a single act in a comprehensive, sweeping, complex, stunningly lucrative campaign of corruption that started when he first took office and has turned theJust days ago, we learned that the president has, throughout his time in office, engaged in thousands upon thousands ofthat appear to cash in on unique knowledge he had as president or of actions he intended to take.
HisTrump's"stunningly lucrative campaign of corruption" has has turned the White House into"a toll booth collecting cash and prizes for Trump enterprises," writes David Rothkopf. ” may well include a hotel where people can pay to honor Trump in the way that means the most to him: with cash that ends up in his bank account. Where is the money that the U.S. made from selling oil we stole from Venezuela?
Who controls the billions that have been allocated from the U.S. Treasury and governments worldwide to thefor Gaza? How many times has Trump sold pardons or lifted regulations or prosecuted or persecuted the innocent in exchange for campaign contributions? Estimates suggest that Trump and his family have made billions as a direct result of actions he has taken since he returned to the White House.
And of course, we live in the world of crypto and dark money accounts, where transactions can take place and we will likely never know their sources, nor will we know in whose pocket the ill-gotten gains finally ended up. Yes, this is it. This is the golden age of corruption.
And Trump is the Einstein of the science of scamming, grabbing, grifting, snatching, hijacking, purloining, and plundering our national assets, selling government services to the highest bidder, selling out the country, and helping his family and friends to do the same. Our patrimony is being sold off—natural resources, fundamental freedoms, national security, our children’s futures, and the futures of generations of Americans to come—all to line the pockets of a bunch of immoral gangsters who, let’s be honest, do not even need the money in the first place.
Why are they destroying democracy? Because it is the only way to both keep their criminal enterprises alive and to stay out of jail at the same time. We have lived through robber barons and the Teapot Dome and Tammany Hall and a country run to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of everyone else.
Hell, we invented vulture capitalism and the “greed is good” of Gordon Gekkoism.of the founding of the United States, Donald Trump has taken us someplace new. He has worked every day since he resumed the presidency to lead a different kind of American revolution. He has achieved his goal of becoming a world historical figure by becoming the founding father of a new kind of American nation, created of, by, and for him and his buddies and their bank accounts.
Thanks to Trump,, and decades of rigging our systems in favor of the richest Americans, we are no longer a shining city on the hill. We are instead a stinking cesspool of corruption, a republic for the rapacious. And the time we have to put an end to the stealing and to reclaim our nation for the benefit of its people is running out.
