The ABCs of Trump's political demise : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 29/12/2017

As we approach the end of Trump's first year in office, it seems appropriate to survey his performance and his outlook for the future.

Wow. Three pages of it. I mean Wow!
Only had to scan the first and last few words of each paragraph. So easy to interpret.

I'd call that a ringing endorsement of Trump.
I expect if he stands for a second term he'll be returned with even more support.

Great stuff.
Trump is now the in-your-face epitome of the Ugly American.
Trump appeals to and has energized all of the worst aspects of American culture and behavior, or what remained of it prior to his election. Everything described in the book Ill Fares The Land by the truly cultured Tony Judt.
Everything pointed to in these paragraphs.

The human world of nowtime is a lunatic asylum, a soap opera of benighted mummers. That absurd soap opera actually controls the destiny and experience of the total world of human beings - and that world-mummery is, in its root disposition, totally indifferent to human life, and to the world altogether.

Everyone's daily life has become something like an insane sporting event - that is played to the death. The human world of nowtime is like a colossal REALITY-TV - a dreadful mini-series, a few weeks until death of all but one of the participants (the "winner"). The common world of nowtime is mere insanity. Everyone and everything is mad now - mad with ego, mad with Narcissus. Everybody at war with everybody, to the death.

If this mad world-mummery continues unchecked, the present time of human his-story IS the END of humantime.

The Donald was/is of course a REALITY-TV "star", or more correctly a 100% demonic personality.

Remember too that the personality of the leader of any state imprints itself on to the collective behavior, and thus the future too of the country or state of which he/she is the leader.

Meanwhile check out what Charlie Sykes has to say about the Donald and the GOP. Sykes is one of the new remaining principled conservatives

Daffy Duck.
Looks like we are in the minority chum. Time will tell who is right, but I wouldn't bet on him getting a second term, the poor and the sick will have enough time to wake up to reality.

Yes, this is the case - but what else could a voter do for whom policy is more important than personalities?

Some of Trump's policies are really good while others are really bad: the failure is that no other politician could be believed to seriously carry out what they promise. Trump is indeed ugly, but he does.

I can sense the spittle on the screen.

Alon has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Trump.

Everything featured in this truth-telling essay is on the public record.
None of the facts presented are disputable.

It seems as though those that have defended him on this site prefer post-"truth" fake news.

Isnt it obvious that the Donald has no redeeming human or moral qualities. He is a barbarian all the way down.

And in fact manifests all the negative immoral characteristics in both his personal and public life that "conservative" christians rail against (at least when it suits their political purposes)

Meanwhile read the essay by Chris Hedges titled American Psychosis.
