The clear advantage that this audiobook has is that you can hear the beast itself speaking, and thus there is no question of ‘fake news’, conspiracy theories which are the favorite medium of that fucking moron (to quote Rex Tillerson…we have a few anecdotes in here, and one has the majority leader telling his colleagues why Tillerson could deny he had called Trump a moron, it was because he had called him ‘a fucking moron’) and one can still hear with disbelief what the idol of about seventy -maybe we will find it is one hundred million this time –million eejits can say with impunity, at least so far.

 

America used to be the nec plus ultra, the land of dreams and earthly paradise – I often remember a best friend I had, who used to say I dream I wake up one morning and find that this country has become a new American state, granted that was in the commie days, and now he lives in Argentina, where there is some strong anti- Yankee sentiment, so who knows how he sees this issue now – but it is incredible how low it has come and what lousy prospects it has, and with it, the rest of us, who depend so much on a world leader that offers a solid model, support for allies, not under the terms offered by the Orange Fool- we find from the book that the US leader had humiliated South Korea, telling them ‘we allow you to exist, so you have to pay’, because they have a shield from their alliance, only it works both ways, and it is no way to treat friends, allies, but then this thug is keen on dictators.

He kept talking about Kim of North Korea, and the bizarre, sick really ‘love’ that had blossomed between the representative of the free world and a monstrous, vicious dictator, talking about what seemed like love at first sight – without knowing it, Trump made one think of Blink, The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell http://realini.blogspot.com/2013/05/blink-power-of-thinking-without.html - and this is not an isolated incident, he prefers Putin, Xi, Kim to leaders of the free world…

 

In fact, this correspondence with the tyrant looks like causing trouble for this incredible fool, because the archives had wanted to find those documents among the papers that have to be given to them by departing presidents, and this is how they found that the ‘fucking moron’ had taken possession of documents that do not belong to him and hence the scandal with the search at the property in Florida – incidentally, that is one of the places listed in a court case which shows that the ‘very rich man, with a very big brain’ had cheated people, about his taxes, in fact he is a pathological liar, and declared that his flat in New York is way bigger than it is, the property in Florida was overvalued multiple times, so that he can get loans, but when it came to paying taxes, it is well known he had paid less than a janitor in a recent year, with all his boast that he is super wealthy…anyway, whatever he has amassed, it was by crooked means, not paying anyone, as long as he could, those putting windows at his buildings, lawyers, he has a well-established reputation, and banks would not touch him with a pole, except for murky reasons Deutsche Bank, and we may see in the future more about his dirty deals

 

Trump says he ‘saved his ass’ referring to MBS aka Mohamed Bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, after he had ordered the killing and butchering of a journalist critical of his regime, Jamal Khashoggi, and this shows how insensitive, cold the ‘fucking moron’ is…evidently, it is complicated and even now, Biden has had to try and patch things up, after he had declared that he would make Saudi Arabia a pariah, because of the high price of oil and the energy crises we are facing, this is called ‘real politik’, I think from the days of the German chancellor Bismarck, leaders trying at times to appease brutes, beasts of prey, to try and avoid a bigger catastrophe, in the name of an utilitarian philosophy, using the precepts of Jeremy Bentham, do the most you can, for the benefit of the biggest number of people…

Then he interferes in the conflict over a dam on the Nile and how one of the key players in the region said ‘the man does not have a clue’, with the pretentious eejit claiming he pushed them to make a deal in…one hour, but as always, it is just grandstanding and fantasy, smoke and nothing else, thinking himself the ‘best’ when he is one of the worst people, never mind the worst president ever, remember when he pushed the prime minister of Montenegro, later speculating on NATO’s article five, creating panic.

 

Indeed, if he comes back, we will have to think again about the American protection and the future of the whole world, in terms of Climate Change and all else…however, as I come back to finish those lines here, it is November 11, 2022 already, and the elections took place a few days ago, and if the results are yet to be final – and it will take another month for the senate, most likely, for as of now, they are at 49 to 48 seats and the Democrat may win one, and the republicans aka the cult of Trump will have fifty, so they will wait for Georgia to see which way the upper house will lean – it is clear that Trump lost.

The moron that calls himself a ‘very stable genius’ has picked some weirdoes that kiss his ring, proclaim loyalty and shout the big lie, that the supreme idiot is still the president and many of them have lost in important places, from the loathsome Oz and his crudités, to other creatures that will hopefully disappear into the void…I am watching, that is listening to some late night shows, and my favorite, Seth Meyers, has inserted some of the attacks on their once Great Master and Saint from the Fox emporium, Cabinet of Curiosities, so maybe this is the end of an era, albeit there are still 50 million crazies out there, worshipping Satan

 

There are many episodes in the book and we have seen much on the news that still appears incredible – if you had seen this in a comedy about the leader of the world before 2016 you would have said that it is too farfetched, no clown would do that and then if he had, he would never reach high office – and one of the most absurd, cataclysmic and potentially dangerous (though after those midterms, maybe the threat of trump [intentional absence of the capital letter]  has diminished, but we have another thug rising, Desanctimonious) is the embrace of dictators, from Putin to NK Kim, Bolsanaro to Erdogan and Sissi, the latter his favorite dictator…

 

The few words I told Michael Meyers from Newsweek on the revolution in which I took part are here: http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html
