THE ONE THING THAT DRIVES DONALD TRUMP!
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Of all that Donald Trump is being accused of by his critics and other analysts, the one thing that drives the man is the crushing desire to be an emperor! Unlike his father before him. Donald Trump sees in himself the modern incarnation of a dynasty where he will be the flag bearer. And what better place to be such a monarch than the United States of America!
You see, he’s never hidden his disdain for women whom he sees as sexual objects. Emperors have harems, right? But they also have wives which explains our man’s dilemma, because he would have been a polygamist if the US legal system did permit. Yes, another sufficient reason to become emperor and perpetuate his brand. So that, with an executive order and other republicans fawning upon him, he could by fiat, abolish that damned clause in the statutes.
Haven’t we all contributed to promoting Trumpism which as a brand, was barely heard of in international circles before his crooked rise to fame? A visit to Trump towers reveals the opulence of this megalomaniac whose greatest certification is in involving himself in issues that directly or indirectly benefit him.
When he guffawed savvy bankers into bankrolling his failed Taj Mahal enterprise in Nevada, people forgot to realize that the very choice of name was no coincidence. The original Taj Mahal as a symbol of power, represents Donald Trump’s deeper-most desire to replicate ancient history in modern times by transposing through crooked means, an object of beauty that served its time, into a representation of power and wealth.
His racist rants are not circumstantial either. They reflect his inbred convictions that a certain class of people such as African Americans and Latinos are fit only to be servants in his majesty’s empire.
People think Trump’s admiration for Vladimir Poutine who has successfully over lorded the Russian oligarchs is ephemeral. Our wile septuagenarian knows the US has its own breed of oligarchs in the armament, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries and his actions to reduce their taxes, was a brilliant move not to placate them, but to gain control of their loyalty in his march to empire-dom.
So much so that his courting of Kim Jung-un of North Korea was being looked at confusingly when our incumbent President, like in the epic, ‘the emperor’s new clothes’, was only exposing his immoral innate desire to transform America into a gulag republic. That is why he has been the ultimate ruler and decision maker who would deliberately contradict anyone who dares to oppose him by far or near, be they eminent scientists, business moguls, scholars, evangelists or what have you.
In fact, give the man a chance and he would sign Trumpism as the new religion of America where every citizen would see him as a demi-God. Remember the stimulus package where everyone who received a check got an accompanying note to show the magnanimity of his majesty Emperor Trump of the United State empire, even though this was public funds that increased the debt hole further?
He’s not done with Americans yet! People think his brazenness in saying whatever comes to his mind is because he doesn’t analyse issues before speaking. On the contrary, it’s a deliberate strategy to show he’s in full command. Who dares contradict the emperor, whether privately or publicly? Even madam the first lady, has only served to bolster his long-term vision of things.
One thing I admire about this guy is that he openly declares he’s not a friend of military top brass because according to him, they are war-mongers always interested in promoting conflicts in order to secure lucrative contracts. To Trump, it’s all about perpetuating the military establishment as the flag-bearer of the arms industry. Yet, interestingly, it’s this same man who calls out the national guards(army) to quell civil protests, calling himself a “law and order President. Ha!
In positioning his kids as successors in line, people think it is happenstance. Far from it! This man knows that age-wise, his time is running out and woe betide you if someone thinks he’s going to die soon. Didn’t he belittle by large margins the dreaded covid-19? For God’s sake, when he called President=elect Joe Biden ‘sleepy Joe’, he saw himself as a 40-year-old brash young man, in contrast to the president-elect, meanwhile the truth is that he himself is more sleepy than the man he accuses. Afterall, their age difference is less than five years.
By the way, what is truth to this guy? This is someone who permanently lives in a virtual reality show in which his ideals are paramount and therefore represent his version of the veracity. Therefore, any news that’s not in consonance with his warped view of issues is fake. Science is fake when it doesn’t rhyme with his thoughts about matters. People are fraudsters when they don’t do his bidding. Systems are flawed when these don’t support his expectations. Journalists propagate fake news when they refuse to be his sycophants. Oh, the emperor and his new clothes!
How dare you suggest the emperor has lost the election? How dare you imagine QAnon weaves conspiracy theories? Who are you to even visualize the emperor abandoning his immaculate palace for an “ordinary” Joe somebody because some small fries of “corrupt” state officials decided to “tamper” with ballots in order to disparage the incumbent Mr. President?
And for the first time in history, it’s an incumbent president who auto-declares himself a winner before vote counting even gets to 75% and then, turns around to cry of fraud to bolster his point. Long before the elections, he had been chanting from rooftops to whosoever wanted to listen that his election victory will be stolen.
In Africa, we are used to the opposition decrying fraud even before elections are scheduled and declaring themselves elected before the official vote count is underway. But who are we? A sh*t hole continent of pariah villages trying and compare with his majesty, the emperor’s America?
Is it not the same emperor who wanted a wall to keep out economic and criminal invaders from ‘backward nations’ who wanted to come and steal the empire’s wealth, decimate its “law abiding” gun toting white citizens? No! Whites only allowed please, others are of the servant caste. Yea, if ex-president Obama was not American, then you think emperor DJT cared a hoot about how George Floyd “couldn’t breathe” or the so many others who died from racial injustice in a system where systemic racism has been the rule rather than the exception?
Look, if you give the emperor the opportunity, he will remodel the white house to look like a combinatory replica of Buckingham Palace of London and the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Yes, your royal highness president emperor, your good friend the Saudi Monarch could not be have been responsible for expediting the death of a ‘simple journalist’ called Adnan Khashoggi!!
The emperor has always dared anyone to contradict or oppose him and many who even remotely showed signs, have been quickly ushered into oblivion and yes, so many have fallen victims. In his almost four years of (mis)rule, his is the only administration to have had a very high turnover of top personnel mostly through outright sackings and/or coercive resignations.
Which brings me to the over hyped last-minute middle east deals brokered between Israel and its Arab neighbours. No, this shrewd emperor is only laying the grounds for back shish, where the Trump dynasty through its organisation, will have access to lucrative business deals leading to more Taj Mahal-like casinos and Mar-al-Largo golf courses for eternity. After all, Mr emperor is a very wise businessman, don’t you agree?
In Africa, it’s being murmured in many circles that DJT and his henchman Pompeo, are destined for the dungeon when this tragi-comedy ends its macabre run soon!
Well, I’m not an American citizen, yet, one thing I can definitely say about this ongoing hoop-la, is that America is a resilient democracy which will triumph over one man’s idiosyncrasies, because to paraphrase the president-elect Joe Biden, “We the people” have spoken! Case closed.
