National Security and Ann Coulter’s Death-Watch on Trump [1]

Is Parting Always A Sweet Sorrow?

Trump’s government is so bad that the White House is becoming a funeral home for national security, national health, and other sectors of the American nation and its people. Don’t feel guilty if your thoughts wander to or muse on the demise of a certain politician. A prominent Republican and erstwhile Trump supporter is way ahead of you. An early muser and purveyor of a death-wish is Ann Coulter, a conservative pundit and supporter of JD Vance. She also dislikes Trump. One of Coulter’s fans on X, a user named “StandUpForTruth,” asked her what Trump “needs to do…to help us take America back.” On February 3, 2024 Coulter replied: “Maybe he could die?” (www.yahoo.com/news/ann-coulter-best-thing-trump-172944605.html) .Note the question mark at the end of Coulter’s reply. Using the question mark is a typical way for a writer or journalist to deflect criticism. A question is not a declaration or an assertion.

She did it again on October 1, 2024 by asking a real question. Coulter wrote on X, “Wow, Vance is good. Cool as a cucumber,..What’s the life expectancy for a 78 YO man?” (www.huffpost.com/entry/ann-coulter-trump-life-expectancy_n_66fd6059e4b0d70dca9fe61a). The correct answer is “Brief.”

Coulter is not the only insider to recognize Trump’s accelerating decline. George Conway sees it, too. After Trump’s first week in office in 2025 Conway remarked, "[he is] mentally struggling much more than he has before." (youtu.be/DD0CJMAYsN8) minute 48.45 – 49.01. Conway, once a Republican, achieved fame by assisting Paula Jones’s legal team when she sued Bill Clinton while he was president. In Washington if Conway sees it, so do other insiders.

Conway and Coulter raise the issue which the MSM is loathe to mention: the precarious nature of Trump’s observable health. His meandering speech manifests confusion while his slow staggering walk and his extra-long-sitting at his desk suggest discomfort and weakness in the lower torso, legs, and feet. Franklin Roosevelt spent his presidency in a wheel chair, but Trump is no Roosevelt. Trump is probably beset with obesity and prostate issues.

For example, “Prostate cancer incidence increases with age: the older you are, the greater your chance of developing it, 1 in 11 for men 70 and older.” (www.pcf.org/about-prostate-cancer/what-is-prostate-cancer/prostate-cancer-survival-rates). Trump had Covid and nearly died from it. Of course, he had no long-term effects. There are many avenues to pursue about Trump’s health, such as heart-disease, kidney-disease, bone-cancer, arterial-stenosis, blood-cancer just to name a few. So far the MSM has not demanded or expressed an interest in a health-report on Trump.

In comparison to early 2017, Trump is in a fragile physical and mental state. His response to the recent plane crash implies he is in a brain fog. His condition may explain why he demands “loyalty” from his cabinet and advisers, except he does not want loyal advice. Instead, Trump wants “feudal” subservience from his advisers said John Bolton, Trump’s former National Security Advisor. (www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/video/the-lead-donald-trump-military-second-term-gop-democracy-jake-tapper) minute 3.50-4.00.

Feudal subservience to Trump is the force driving Pete Hegseth and others to federal mountain tops. A peak is often a cold lonely place. Being Secretary of Defense is no exception. Hegseth’s loneliness at the top ends soon because he will be joined by General Anthony Tata.

According to the New York Times “Tata was named under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, a job that would make him vital in dismantling diversity programs at the Pentagon” (www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/us/politics/trump-tata-pentagon.html). Tata was not a favorite of Kamala Harris. In 2020 Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris tweeted “His vile Islamophobic comments are disqualifying, period. Our service members deserve better from their leadership.” (www.defenseone.com/policy/2020/11/anthony-tata-named-undersecretary-policy/169926/). That is water under the bridge, maybe.

General Tata could be a good fit to overcome Pentagon-reluctance to remold Gaza into a new Riviera. General Tata is also known as the writer of “The Phalanx Code” a novel reviewed on Tata’s web site ajtata.com.

“A.J. Tata's adventures with General Garratt Sinclair and this book is another winner. An all too believable plot where two tech billionaires fight for supremacy with only General Sinclair and Dagger Team to thwart the takeover attempt. Assassination squads, the President's daughter kidnapped, and a scorecard to keep track of the double crosses. This is nonstop excitement from the first page.” ( ajtata.com)[ accessed February 7]

Who knew the subject matter would be prescient? Two tech billionaires fighting for supremacy – not so outlandish as it may seem. The book may be a guide to understanding the inner workings of the General’s mind as he repopulates the Pentagon’s personnel. Clearly this Trump appointee has long had a creative side to his nature. The General went through a divorce and was accused of not paying child support. The Army’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) became involved. Wikipedia reports that OIG rejected the accusation:

“OIG's conclusion rejecting the allegation of failure to pay child support was based on a supposed 2001 Georgia court order submitted as evidence by Tata and his lawyer.[19] It was later determined, however, that the document was fraudulent, with the signatures of the Georgia judge and counsel having been forged. Tata and his lawyer acknowledged that the court order they had produced to OIG was "not genuine" and later produced the genuine order, which was substantively different.[19] OIG never determined who created the false document and forged the signatures. Tata and his counsel said they did not create the document.[19].”

(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Tata)[Accessed February 6].

This must be a first for the Pentagon, having an undersecretary of defense who has a history of submitting a fake court order to the Army’s Inspector General. In an ironic twist, “Tata” is the well known nickname of the late Pablo Escobar’s wife. (https://thebiography.org/tragic-life-of-pablo-escobars-wife-maria-victoria-henao/)

The Exception to Feudal Subservience – Elon Musk

Although there are thousands of stories about Musk’s influence on Trump, not one describes Musk as what he seems to be.

Anyone following the war in Ukraine knows who Jake Broe is. He supports Ukraine and offers insightful analysis and comments on his Youtube channel. He has over 567,000 subscribers across the world. His comments are consequential. During his video of February 6, 2025 Jake Broe described Elon Musk as “a traitor” to the United States. (youtu.be/a6ZEsMqI0pk?t=1580 and (www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ZEsMqI0pk).

Broe believes Musk is associated with a recent counter-intelligence disaster (www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/us/politics/cia-names-list.html).

As reported by the New York Times on February 5, the Central Intelligence Agency transmitted to the White House an unclassified email identifying in English all hires in 2024 and 2023 by their first name and the first initial of the their last name. Limiting identification in English to a name such as “Jinh Z” or “Parvedi Y” is thin cover in the spy world. Knowing the approximate hiring date, approximate age and gender of the person hired is a good start for even the least-skilled Chinese, Russian, North Korean and Iranian intercept-analysts. Limiting identification to first name and first initial of the last name is like using plywood as armor in a war zone. It is negligent. This negligence, when joined with the CIA’s recent offer to all of its employees to resign and in return receive eight months of continued pay and benefits, suggests the Trump administration is using budget concerns as a screen to undermine the United States’ national security via the destruction of the CIA’s foreign-intelligence collection. In Broe’s video between minute 22.30 and 24.00 Broe says to the world, to the CIA hires of the past two years, and to agents/informants abroad: “This is Elon Musk’s doing. Elon Musk right now is trying to destroy the United States to help Russia and China… …Elon Musk is trying to get you killed…he’s a traitor…people are going to die.”

Broe did not mention Trump at this point in the video. However, the stripping of meaningful protection from the CIA’s hires is consistent with the removal of Secret Service protection from former National Security Advisor John Bolton, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci and others. It’s consistent with Trump’s abandonment of Mike Pence in the January 6, 2021 insurrection. It seems Trump intentionally exposes people and institutions to harm. It is a mistake to expect Donald Trump to protect the USA’s national security. Others will have to do it. He has no conscience. His uncontrolled Id seeks revenge via his apparent messenger of death, Elon Musk.

Musk is attracted to the idea of death, as in his widely publicized comment on the United States Agency for International Development, USAID: “Time for it to die” (www.politico.com/news/2025/02/02/musk-usaid-time-00201987). The English language is robust with many expressions, metaphors and similes that can describe a goal. Musk chose just one, his mind took him to death. Musk is a public figure, which means in the USA that Broe is entitled to his opinion and belief that Musk is a traitor. Claims of slander are unlikely to succeed.

Elon Musk and Ann Coulter are two peas in a pod, not far apart on the importance of death in Trump world. When Trump departs the earth the people of the United States will experience a mix of fury, outrage, confusion, relief and great expectations for JD Vance, if the time is right. Wasn’t that the eventuality planned for in the summer of 2024 at the GOP’s summer convention? Don’t feel guilty if you muse on Trump’s demise. Ann Coulter beat you to it. Remember Ann’s question: “What’s the life expectancy for a 78 YO man?” All over the world bookies are getting ready.
