The Horror of Donald Trump

I’m at a horror convention this weekend, but President Trump has it beat all to hell.

With his attacks on the American electoral system, casting aspersions at every election he didn’t win, and making us doubt whether we’ll have a free and fair election, and now his launching a hot war in the middle East, he certainly looks like he wants to be the last President of the United States.

Sure, it might just be a quick jab at Iran that overwhelms them… but I doubt it. The mullahs are not walking out the door, and they’ve launched counter-attacks at five other countries.

During the pandemic, I called Donald Trump a clear and present danger to the United States. I think that may have been too limited. His policies ignore science in favor of self-aggrandizement. His only interest in the future is how many buildings will bear his name, how many institutions will be marred by his footprint. This man who wants a new class of warship named for him, who thinks the “Department of Defense” sounds weak and wants to call it the “Department of War,” who campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize (ironic, isn’t it?) is a threat to the entire globe.
