On Political Bluster
It is strange that a man can stand before an assembly of world leaders and proceed to regale them on seven imaginary global wars that he has apparently single-handedly stopped yet has failed to stop the glaring two that he vowed to stop on day one of his presidency.
This is just a snippet sample of an hour-long harangue that the leaders had to endure listening to the rambling of a delusional and deranged man who wonders loudly why he has not been nominated for the Nobel Prize for keeping the world in peace.
This is the same man who abandoned NATO putting Europe in an existential crisis by siding with the country that NATO was initially created to contain and to put the proverbial icing on the cake, blames the Ukraine for the Russian attack.
This is the same‘ Times Person of the Year’ who helped Israel bomb Iran in an unprovoked incidence and bragged of how Iran has been annihilated by American stealth bombers and warned Iran to capitulate or face further punishment.
This is the person that has shielded Israel from international condemnation because of a twisted American quirk pushed by the Evangelicals that the bible specifically states that Christians must support and protect God’ s chosen people.
The same individual who upended decades old global trading stability by unleashing an unprecedented tariff war on everyone, foe and ally and boasted that the world would have to kneel before him to beg to trade with America.
The same man that has turned America into a police state all in the name of expelling illegal immigrants but as it turns out it is an exercise of trying to turn the clock back and make America a predominantly white country with the original token blacks.
This is the leader that has thrown Americans into a health crisis by telling them to stop using popular everyday medication because it causes autism and promoting a bizarre anti-vaccine agenda that reeks of cult leanings.
If there is a Nobel prize for the person who has caused the most chaos and turmoil in the world, then the American president certainly qualifies and his abhorrent demeanor and disdain for decency seems admired by his unhinged American political base.
This is the same person who when a far-right activist was assassinated, the leader who believes that the Nobel Peace prize rightly belongs to him was at the forefront seeking and promising retribution against an imaginary‘ left’ who traditionally were communists.
These traditional communists were represented by Russians with whom America had decades long cold war but are now the president’ s bosom buddies and somehow this is okay with his confused political base that is in search of a unifying‘ enemy’.
This leader is managing to unravel a political system that has stood the test on time for two centuries in just two mere non-consecutive presidential terms that seem bent to showcase all the shortcomings of the democratic system of government.
