Donald Trump Is A Racist. Donald Trump Is Evil

And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light ~ The Christian Bible, 2 Corinthians 11:14.

Evil

People have been speculating if Donald John Trump, the 45th person to occupy the White House (as the alleged duly-elected President), is mentally ill. Also, whether or not he could be removed from office due to mental illness (under the 25th amendment). A March 2017 Slate article by Steven Reisner, however, says he isn't mentally ill, but evil.

Stop Saying Donald Trump Is Mentally Ill [article excerpt] If we are to combat Trump, we must understand how he has elevated and manipulated certain American values, like greed and exceptionalism, to undermine so many others, like truth, justice, and the American Constitution.

This is not madness. And the impulsivity, threats, aggression, ridicule, denial of reality, and mobilization of the mob that he used to get there are not symptoms. It is time to call it out for what it is: evil.

Arendt [explains in her book, The Origins of Totalitarianism] that we in the West are susceptible to such evil precisely because we cannot conceive of it. We prefer to believe that people are innately good, and evil is some kind of "fall from grace", an anomaly, a madness perhaps, but one always "explained by comprehensible motives". We are at a loss to confront Trumpism, because his strategy is evil for its own ends, and thus reflects, as Arendt described, "a system of values so radically different from all others, that none of our traditional legal, moral, or common sense utilitarian categories could any longer help us to come to terms with, or judge, or predict their course of action".

The "Arendt" referred to in the article is the Jewish political theorist Johanna Hannah Arendt (10/14/1906 to 12/4/1975) who was born in Russian, emigrated to Germany, and later "escaped from Europe during the Holocaust, becoming an American citizen" in 1950.

Arendt's first major book was titled The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), which traced the roots of Stalinism and Nazism in both antisemitism and imperialism. In it, Arendt argues that totalitarianism was a "novel form of government", different from other forms of tyranny in that it applied terror to subjugate mass populations rather than just political adversaries.

Wikipeida notes that "the book sold out on Amazon in January 2017, as part of a bump in interest in books about totalitarianism around the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Racist

Following the violence (including one murder by a Hitler admirer using his car) in Charlottesville the predisent blamed "many sides" and did not specifically call out the Alt-Right (whom Bannon's Breitbart is a platform for). "Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth about #Charlottesville & condemn the leftist terrorists in BLM/Antifa" an extremely pleased David Duke tweeted after Trump walked back his condemnation of White Supremacists.

This would be the condemnation (2 days after his initial "many sides" comment) that he was obviously urged to make by his advisors and did begrudgingly. It did not take him long to go back to blaming "many sides" and the mythical "Alt-Left" in a display of #bothsidesirism that the side that is really to blame loves.

"Hispanics and African Americans have lower average IQs than whites and are more genetically predisposed to commit crimes" according to Alt-Right leader Richard Spencer. He also "wants America to become a White ethno-centric nation". Despite this, Spencer says the Alt-Right is not racist. Because racism is "irrational hate".

If your hate is "rational" it's A-OK. "They're not racist; it's just that they hold beliefs that members of other ethnicities or religions are inherently inferior and universally hold immutable characteristics that determine their behaviours" (Link).

I doubt Trump believes he is a racist. Yet he clearly is. Self delusion seems to be a trait common among racists. They rarely identify as such. The Imperial Wizard of the KKK says "We don't hate people because of their race, I mean, we're a Christian organization". Evil does not admit that it is evil. That would be a warning to the rest of us and could hamper recruiting. Evil deludes itself into believing that it's good and what it's doing is good and being done for rational reasons (see: the banality of evil, a term coined by Arendt).

Trump's Birtherism, hiring of Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, love for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones (who believes Israel Planned 9/11), his running for the presidency on a platform of keeping out the evil Muslims and rapist Mexicans (Link)...

Also his call for the police to bash heads to quell violence perpetrated overwhelmingly by Black thugs. I refer to Trump's decision to reverse Obama's move away from the use of private prisons (hellholes where corruption and abuse run rampant), AG Sessions desire for maximum prison sentences, Trump's endorsement of police brutality, lifting of Obama's ban on the sale of military equipment to the cops, pardoning of the Constitutional Rights violating racist Sheriff Joe, etc. The message is that we need to get tough on the criminal minorities.

Given the fact that racism and bigotry are evil (and Trump is a racist and a bigot), the obvious conclusion is that Trump is evil. Does it mean anything specifically that more self-identified White Evangelicals supported Trump (81%) than any past Republican president? It's too soon to know yet if Trump's evil is something more than banal. If Trump's "actions were motivated by a sort of stupidity which was wholly unexceptional" (how Arndt described the evil of Adolf Eichmann) or if there is something else going on (something more in line with the quotation at the top of my post).

Image: Trump smooches Pepe. Other images can be found of Trump as Pepe, Pepe in a red MAGA hat, etc. Pepe is a symbol of the Alt-Right. Trump HIMSELF retweeted a Pepe meme (Pepe as Trump)! It is in his twitter feed (10/13/2015). He hasn't deleted it, proof that he didn't retweet the meme mistakenly, not knowing the meaning of Pepe. This tweet was another shout out to the Alt-Right. Something he did (and continues to do) because Trump supports the Alt-Right. Because Trump is a White Nationalist. Or a fellow traveler at least. This can NOT be denied!

Predisent Fart aka MAGA Man

...Trump dominates the news cycle the way a fart dominates the interior of a Volkswagen Beetle ~ John Oliver (dob 4/23/1977) host of HBO's Last Week Tonight, 2/20/2017.

Donald Jackass Trump currently serves as the 45th predisent of the United States (although hopefully for not much longer). Note that "predisent" is a misspelling that comes from Trump lawyer Marc Kasowitz. In a lie-filled letter (written in response to former FBI Director James Comey's Senate testimony), Kasowitz introduced himself as "Predisent Trump's personal lawyer" (and this was not the only misspelling contained in the embarrassing document).

I will use this spelling of "president" when referring to the anus-lipped BLOTUS because I refuse to refer to this asshole using a title that denotes respect. When I use this alternate spelling of "president" I intend disrespect. I also, given the fact that the election was stolen, do not recognize him as legitimately installed by We The People. Therefore (my definition) of "predisent" is a CIC who is illegitimate.

Additionally, I will refer to him as "Fart" because, in England, "trump" refers to the passing of gas via the rectum. "Predisent Fart" is appropriately respectful title for a misogynistic, sexual-assaulting, racist, bigoted, White Nationalist enabling, Russia colluding, psycopathic, low IQ, profoundly incompetent reality teevee buffoon, birther, malignant narcissist, pathological liar, fake Christian syphilitic pedophile.

As well as an evil asshole, Alex-Jones-influenced conspiracy theorist, laughably bad spray tanned orange-skinned simpleton with an extremely limited vocabulary (according to the actual author of The Art of the Deal, which Trump likely hasn't even read).

It is also my understanding that MAGA doesn't stand for "Make America Great Again", but "Massive Ass Gas Attack", something Prez Fart (Facebook page) wages against the American people on a daily basis. In that this predisent STINKS. I refer to his presidency as well as the man himself. If you haven't guessed it, I hate his guts. Much more than the doofus that served as the 43rd president, george w. bush. And he is a war criminal!

Man Who Farts In Deep Doo-Doo. Will He Or Flynn Bring Down Trump?

This thing is going into a critical phase. When they start raiding your offices for documents, they think you're lying. They think that you are hiding information ~ Malcolm Nance on the Stephanie Miller Show, 8/9/2017.

According to what I've heard, Trump ex campaign manager Paul Manafort's nickname is "man-who-farts". Due to "his inability to hold them in during meetings". Today it was revealed that (on 7/26/2017) the residence of the Gassy One were raided by the FBI at the direction of Robert Mueller. They were looking for evidence re the investigation into the corrupt Trump administration.

The FBI conducted a pre-dawn raid at the home of President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman ... [Seized] documents are said to include notes Manafort took while attending a meeting with Donald Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in June 2016. (FBI Raided Paul Manafort's Home by Inae Oh. Mother Jones 8/9/2017).

So what do those notes say? Do they include dates on which WikiLeaks dumped material stolen by Russian hackers from the DNC? Remember when Hillary Clinton said "The Russians, in my opinion ... could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they have been guided ... by Americans"?

The popular vote winner of the 2016 POTUS election said "she is leaning in a direction that suggests the two coordinated" (Russia and the Trump campaign). Was it during this meeting that the coordination was discussed? The eponymously named progeny of Trump insists that he was promised dirt on HRC. His response was "I love it". His story is that he was lied to and got no dirt.

The email (from Rob Goldstein) said the requested meeting concerned the Russian government's support for DJT's presidential campaign. Was Goldstone ("a British music publicist and former tabloid journalist" with ties to the Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov) mistaken? The Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya (one of the 5 Reds at the collusion conference) denies any ties to the Russian government. Surely she is telling the truth.

Why was Russian money launderer Irakly Kaveladze also present? Was it to remind Donald Junior how deep his father was in with the Russian mob? "You've been in with us for years, so you better go along to get along". Was that the message that Irakly imparted?

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is dirty (and likely knew about this meeting). The Russians have been working him for decades, slowly reeling him in. Trump happily accepted their money, selling them Trump properties at inflated prices. "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets... We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia" the Junior Trump said circa 2008.

After shifting through the documents from the man-who-farts, will Mueller have enough dirt on Farty to force him to flip on Trump? Bill Plamer, "an indie journalist who is usually a step or two ahead on Trump-Russia coverage" says "Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort may go to prison over Donald Trump Jr's Russia meeting after all".

Kushner initially lied about all of his Russia meetings on his SF-86 security clearance form, which is an imprisonable felony. Once that fact was exposed earlier this summer, he went back and listed hundreds of foreign meetings, including the one he attended with Donald Trump Jr and Russia. Manafort has been trying to get himself out from under his own failure to register as a paid foreign agent of the Kremlin, and has also confessed to Trump Jr's meeting. But if their "confessions" omitted the fact that a Russian spy like Rinat Akhmetshin was also in the meeting, then it means they blew their last shot at trying to avoid prison. (7/14/2017 Palmer Report article).

According to Wikipedia Rinat Akhmetshin is a "former Soviet counterintelligence officer". Meaning she worked for the FSB (the Federal Security Service, which is the principal security agency of Russia). This is the organization previously known as the KGB. Back in December of 2016 Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Russian Sergey Gorkov. Gorkov chairs the state-owned Vnesheconombank (VEB), although he is a graduate of the academy that trains FSB agents (he was appointed to his current position by Putin).

It was also during this time period (the transition from the Obama to the Trump administration) that Kushner met with senior diplomat Sergey Kislyak to discuss setting up back-channel communications with Russia. "Back-channel talks have been common in US diplomacy". "Obama did it" is their defense. But the US has one president and one administration at a time. Kushner's back-channeling with Russia occurred before Trump was inaugurated and not something he should have been doing.

Meeting with Kislyak and failing to disclose it, BTW, was the reason Flynn was fired. But Kushner met with Sergey Kislyak and Natalia Veselnitskaya and didn't disclose. His lawyers say it was a "mistake". Later he amended his security clearance form to include the Kislyak meeting, but not the Veselnitskaya meeting.

I guess he "forgot". Because the meeting between him, Farty and Don Junior didn't result in them getting the HRC dirt that Veselnitskaya promised (as part of the Russian government's support for his father's presidential campaign). So they (Kushner and DJT#2) SAY. But Kushner is a liar. Kushner also met with the VEB chair Sergey Gorkov and fibbed about the why. VEB, BTW, "is not actually a bank at all [but more like] a slush fund for Russian President Vladimir Putin".

VEB says the meeting with Kushner had to do with "his family's real estate business" (re him "seeking financing for its troubled $1.8 billion purchase of an office building on Fifth Avenue in NY"), but Trump's White House "says the meeting was unrelated to business and was one of many diplomatic encounters".

However, as I noted earlier, VEB isn't a bank, so why would they be financing Kushner? Also, the "bank" has sanctions on it and Americans aren't supposed to be doing business with it. This being a "diplomatic encounter" does not pass the smell test as far as I'm concerned, Gorkov not being a diplomat. Clearly the Trump administration lied.

So what's really going on? I have my suspicions. Suspicions that involve things like collusion to spread fake news via social media designed to swing the election to DJT. And DJT being "persuaded" to collude due to his decades long involvement in Russian money laundering. All we can do now is wait and see if Mueller is able to uncover the necessary evidence. If he is allowed to, I think he should be able to.

Then we'll see if the Republicans are willing to impeach. Although, even if there is overwhelming evidence, trumpanzees have indicated they will not believe it. According to these brainwashed rubes (and the fake news Trump ass lickers manipulating them) Mueller is busy fabricating evidence.

WikiLeaks asshole Julian Assange recently tweeted (8/4/2017) "Is Robert Mueller a dirty cop?". I've noticed several new "news" outlets that, as soon as an outrageous and absurd lie escapes the orange anus lips of the BLOTUS, release articles backing up his nonsense. The Horn News and The Real News Network are two I'd never heard of before (although both say they existed before Trump). Trump himself (people close to him acting with his approval) has launched Real News of the Week from Trump Tower. The sycophantic bullshit (half truths, lies, taking credit for Obama accomplishments) is viewable on the BLOTUS Facebook page.

If Republicans admit that whatever Mueller uncovers has any validity (unless he SOMEHOW clears Trump), trumpanzees will LOSE THEIR SHIT! Knowing this, will Congressional Republicans act? I seriously do not know. I would ask "how could they not", but I was surprised by Trump's "win". So I'm not making any predictions regarding impeachment.

Paul Manafort, while he acted as an agent of a foreign power, never registered as one. Farty engaged in "lavishly-compensated work for a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party". My guess would be that Farty did not care that he was committing a felony due to the 17 million large he was gifted (Michael Flynn broke the same law when he did consulting work for the Turkish government. Although his "consulting" included discussing an illegal kidnapping of a Turkish cleric living in PA. Likely to be imprisoned and tortured).

By the way, did you know that in England the BLOTUS is known as "Donald Fart"? The reason is that, in Britain, the word "trump" is "slang for noisy flatulence". The man-who-farts and Donald Fart teamed up to assault America (with the help of Russia) via a nasty and vile Massive Ass Gas Attack. #MAGA!

Now, due to Trump's incompetence, potentially millions of lives are threatened with nuclear annihilation. Fucking trumpanzees! Their idiocy could destroy the world as we know it (God's will if it happens according to an evangelical Trumper). This incompetent buffoon has GOT to go!
