THE OFFENSIVE NATURE OF TRUMP.


Besides the fact that Trump offends me..by any metric I can use of human values.
It's not what I meant by the title.

Trump believes his only defense is a good offense.. Trump defend himself has only one method .. go on the offense. He's reactionary, that way, stuff he's sees as trying bring him down. He's good at it. He has been successful at it... when it's personal about him.

But Trump has no way use his offensive defense when it not about him.. Trump can't deal with things that are negative....when they aren't involved in Trump's own world..he can't deal with outside negatives by using his offensive nature. he can't compromise, work with others, do his share, care, help...As it has been clear Trump CAN NOT be philanthropic. he can't understand that everybody can win and everybody can lose. he can't understand how just helping an Ally can help US, Or stopping a foreign war, we are no involved in, can help US.. Trump can not understand globalism and its indirect effect on US...And with his set view of zero balance.. he can't understand global economics.. trump can not understand Climate Change or the CORONAVIRUS. where there is a whole bunch of zeroes and NO balance.

he can't understand that America First or Making America Great..it's now a lie..IT can no longer be accomplished within our borders...It must be planetary.

He is ill equipped to lead us into this Century.

The Coronavirus will be an historic marker of the United States..

In 1820 a test of a new nation.. based on human rights.. created the uncompromising compromise of the the Missouri Compromise..That led to a unwavering partisanship.. that led to a Civil War.
In the Roaring 20's..the haves and the have not's and The money tree...That got all it's fruit picked.. Until there was a great depression.. and all that was left was the have not's.

In 2020.. how an insignificant virus..."sanctioned" our fragile..and unbalanced world.. To bring it to it's knees. How it will cause the greatest depression of all time. How it will crumble partisanship, socialism, fascism, democracy, and the world's economy..How it's going to show US there is no immunity, There is no greatest. there is only Globalism... and it insignificant parts.
And the irony.. is that the world we have created..Has been humbled by one of the most insignificant things in it's history.

People worry about the things that will happen..people fear the unknown.
Liberal fear Trump of what he could do.. of what we will become.
This virus, like Trump, will be gone....It could happen real soon..
And like Trump we will not understand..that no matter what's happens to each of them.. The damage has been done...it can't get any worse.
We have been brought back to ZERO and there is no negative LIFE..
The choice is to create a new and better world, or become extinct.
the idea the we are ALL in this together once was a choice..not anymore..the coronavirus has shown Us that.

This planet is NOT our HOME.. this planet just houses US..for the time being..

Bernie Sanders is almost as bad..
Sanders see the money tree full of fruit..He wants to pick and choose what to do with it..
He will eventually pick it clean.. what then?
What then..When we need a farmers instead of a picker..
Who's going to make sure the tree doesn't die...Who's going to plant the new crop.. who is going to tend the garden?

    Quoting  :

Trump is a s televangelist .....just a bigger scale...throw in a travelling snake-oil salesman and some Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones mixed in......a circus con-man.....

Always has been.....a shallow, psychologically defective con-man......and his followers are the same people who fall for conspiracy theories ......and the politicians who support him are also cons.....they are just backing the hunch...the horse they think will win for them.........The sincere, ethical people get trampled underfoot.

    Quoting  :

He forces himself to make it about him...as to how others want to make it about him. How he can blame others, so it's not about him. It's way he deals. he can't deal any other way.

Trump is easy to figure out.. for him it's all about the power of money.. the art of deal is about the power of money.. what you have to spend and what you get in return.
Let me give a list of things he has said.. in which his deal would be better than anyone else's.. how it's not NOT be taken advantage of..
It's about Nato, and trade deals, it's about wars, the middle east, It's about entitlements, and immigration, Untied nations, It's about the Iran deal that we gave them back their money. It's about only paying our share., and getting those who didn't to pay theirs. it's about our allies and our enemies..It's about bringing Home troops, avoiding the cost of war.. .It about federal assistance to States. It's about every government institution...
It's about lost money, that he relates to lost power. It about cost and benefits..Benefits have to be real.. you got to be able to see it and touch it.. It's got to make you more.. not make you less.
What would America be today if we didn't give away or waste..all the money we have spent.?

Trump has proven my instincts time after time. I wrote here before impeachment and even before release of the Mueller report, when I urged impeachment, that it would be an international failure that would topple his presidency. I could not have imagined a pandemic, and that's what Coronavirus is, would be that event. Just the prospect itself screams failure like nothing else on planet earth possibly could. Has it been worse than I instinctively feared? The answer to that is yes and no. Banning flights to China caught me by surprise. It wasn't that I wasn't alarmed by reports out of China. This issue got my attention and I wrote about it here, urging people to get informed. But Trump acted to ban those flights. I just don't remember the timeline. But when I read about the evacuation and that administration people did not follow CDC recommendations I knew we were in deep trouble. We've seen this way too many times already. It was yet another example of OFFENSIVE arrogance. I'll just add here I do not believe there is a limit to how offensive Trump can, and will become.

Trump know how to use offensive things to defend himself.. It's his con..It's a plan he has developed over a lifetime.. he has no other way to defend himself..
He use things offensively...He NEVER defends himself, by using defensive measures. he NEVER apologizes or admits mistakes..
He's fixated on what he does offensively.. those lies serves two purposes.. First to those who believe the lie it is his defense.. and for those who don't believe.... it's put them on the defense. Amazingly it works..
Trump can not deal with defensive measures .. when it's not about him..Like this virus, climate change, or the defense of someone else..
It was always going to be his downfall as President..and the inability to do a Presidents job.
The subject didn't have to be a major one..Just some conflict he was not responsible for or involved in..
Marginally he does it with our allies..not able to come to their defense. .he did it with the Kurds, with the Ukraine... He does it on personal level with those who disagree with him.. yet the subject is not about him.. he will never defend someone innocent, who disagree with him politically.
We have not been able to recognize it.. about those things because he can make about him..and offensively defend himself.
This coronavirus is the perfect example...In China it's was a nothing burger. When it became a necessity to defend America from it.. The very first thing he did.. was try to make it about him. How it was a hoax to hurt him..
No one has ever said that Trump is responsible for it..his usual tactics don't work. everyone can see the LIE.. His job is to defend US from it..and he doesn't have a clue how to do that.. he can only defend himself from it.

Bernie does represent hope..

The irony for liberals is that hope usually needs to come with prayer..that way one can at least appear to avoid the reality.

What's the difference between A NUN ..and The "Tide" of a Bernie's movement.....

One's got hope in her soul, and the other has got "soap" in it's hole..

Party on!
