THE PRESIDENT IS THE ENEMY

https://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-president-is-enemy.html

The President is the enemy of the American people. He's not just a buffoon or a loser or an idiot. I've used the word before, but it becomes clearer and clearer all the time. He's evil. He's actively, intently evil. Yes, the cruelty is still the point. But the impulse behind the cruelty isn't merely the will to power. It's actually evil.

I don't use that word lightly. Donald Trump doesn't see people as individual human beings, he doesn't want to lead the nation, and he sure doesn't care who lives or dies, as long as he lives. He sees the world as divided into for him and against him. Only the former deserve to exist, and he's doing everything he can to make sure the latter don't.

I don't know what other word you'd use.

He had a chance today to say something about Lloyd and about the civil unrest in Minneapolis and elsewhere. He refused not just because he's incapable of empathy, but because he is capable of apathy.

The President is the enemy. Not just of Democrats. One thing about evil people: if they aren't going after you yet, they will be soon.

4. From the same blog post

Again and again, President Trump says things that are meant to show his toughness - and, to be fair, the coterie of morons, freaks, and goons that support him probably believe this pampered pansy of a man is tough - but are ultimately signals for violence against what he perceives as undesirables, or those who don't love him, which, honestly, is the majority of the country. His tweet in reaction to the riots against the racist actions of police in Minneapolis is only the latest call to harm Americans. "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts," he wrote, in an echo of racist cops and leaders in the 1960s. That isn't a racist dog whistle. It's a racist air horn, especially since he also called the people rioting "THUGS" (his caps, not mine). And that's on top of Trump's support of armed white people having protests to reopen businesses, undermining governors and medical experts, and probably leading to even more death just to get the economy moving again and boost his standing in the polls.

5. "One thing about evil people: if they aren't going after you yet, they will be soon."

We should never fool ourselves. Sooner or later, if he is given the chance, he will hunting the rest of us down as well. He will not stop until every last one of he percieved "enemies" is wiped off the face of the earth or until someone stops HIM.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

10. So the Pundit recognizes the obvious.

He likely hasn't been reading my posts, but I've been saying this for months.

Some of us enjoy the exercise of analyzing Trump's behavior, doing an armchair storybook about Trumpy's life of screw-ups, his insecurities, his being coddled, his ability to get away with anything because of his money and his lies, etc. And I admit, my knowledge base that includes human development, human communications systems, psychotherapy, family pathology, and other topics lends for me a rich vocabulary from which to draw. But all of that means nothing, because Trumpy is NOT AMENABLE TO CHANGE. We have plenty of incidents in our collections of news to know that Trumpy enjoys hurting people, and he revels in his power to end life. We know that he has no qualms about designing a national strategy to increase coronavirus DEATHS. We don't have to analyze his behavior patterns. We just know that he does things that actively destroy lives, with the intent to do so. He seeks out actions designed to destroy the lives of fellow humans. He does it all the time. And he shows no remorse. One would think that he'd be too busy being president to bother with evil actions, but he's not much of a president when it comes down to it. He's more like a raging tyrant. All the time. A raging tyrant doesn't have time for work. A raging tyrant only has time to rage, then react to more reactions with more rage. That's him. It would be easy to call him "lazy." He's very busy all the time, but he's busy NOT being president. He's a dedicated, totally committed Rage Master.

The amazing thing about him and his evil nature is that his re-election is STILL a probability. A rational society would have dragged him out of the White House on his ear long before now. But here he is, just this morning going into another profoundly disturbing rant. But that's just one of many, every day, every week. It will be such a relief when he's gone.

25. Since 2017 I have been encouraging my fellow DUers to read "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" It's

all there. The mental instability, the malignant narcissism, the anger, all the basic stuff

that make Donald Trump a National danger.

I just went through some of it a third time and it's still shockingly true.

If you read it, it will help explain just exactly why he is the way he is.

Dangerous - to any decent American in this time of double crises.

He couldn't lose his office soon enough. And a lot of Repubs with him.

[RainCaster]

33. I'm reading it now, it makes a very clear case

Although I truly think that he is what Christians believe is the "antiChrist".

Clinical diagnosis does not cover that aspect of pure evil.

[rickyhall]

13. Last night I watched Dan Rather interview Joan Baez.

EVIL was the word she used to describe Trump and his thugs.

[lpbk2713]

14. I'm sorry I missed that.

I've always admired Joan Baez.

15. Double K and fucking R for the Rude One

[panfluteman]

16. The Number One Item on Trump's Job Description from Putin is to Destroy America.

And he's doing a very, very good job of that.

[marble falls]

17. Put him in a line up, I can point the SOB out.

[ecstatic]

18. He is evil incarnate. He inspires hatred in

a lot of people, including gentle, decent people. Not just hatred but anger, sadness, rage, exhaustion, etc.

Has anyone ever verified that he is actually a human being?

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. tRump is EVIL!

[kyburbonkid]

22. As are a majority of the Repubnicans I know.

Mitch McConnel being up there. Rep Massie(R-KY) another. Pretty much the entire State Senate of KY, and all of the other bozos that tag an (R) to there name. Look at what the fucks have done to this once great country... <sad>.

His level of outrage mirrors my own.
