Trump is setting the nation on fire!
By now there should be no doubt in any one’s mind that can think logically that Trump’s agenda is to destroy America.
Deliberately and purposely.
Not because he’s demented, although he may very well be.
Not because he’s incompetent, cruel and stupid, although he may indeed be all three and more.
Not primarily because the madman seeks revenge for losing in 2020 and being impeached twice although that may in part be a secondary motivational factor.
The Russia/Putin/Musk Oligarch Connection
It looks more and more obvious each day that Trump’s motivational impetus is working in direct concert with Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk and the oligarch class of 2025. Their interests all seem to converge around economic destruction of America as we know it.
NATO is the cornerstone of defense against Putin, a president attacking it is equivalent to both treason and pro-Putin intentions.
So why is almost no one “making hay” in the Democratic leadership by speaking to this blunt truth? Seems like everyone but the Party leadership is emphasizing this reality. Trump is moving at warp speed. We can’t wait until 2026 or 2028, by then the damage will be unrepairable. There may never even be another election, or one that’s remotely on the level.
Some Possibilities Include:
Are they just fearful of the furor to come if they do so? Are they deeply concerned about provoking a World War, and Trump knows it! Do they believe it’s better left unsaid, is already widely suspected, and will only harden the Republicans in Congress into keep backing him. Or are they just waiting for the right moment or direct evidence to prove it? Or are they lacking definite proof of a Putin connection? Or are they embarrassed for not having the proof or afraid to identify it’s source Or are they afraid of losing their big donors, with a more leftward leadership emerging?
New Leadership is Essential
Corey Booker at his recent filibuster.
I don’t pretend to be able to ready minds. But there are certainly enough behavioral clues to strongly suspect both Trump’s serville connection to Putin— for whatever the reasons, even blackmail— as well as his deliberately doing things to provoke such accusations as to his motives.
Certainly he left out Russia for both increasing sanctions and placing tariffs on them for a very suspicious reason. Perhaps Trump thinking (and I use the term loosely) they would not dare openly expose the Putin connection as an organic one, thinking that he’s immune from harm or direct attacks on the issue?
What do you think? My own two cents is that Trump is literally daring them to expose his connections because he believes they won’t and are afraid or hesitant to do so.
Elections Elimination?
I also believe the Party’s differences are substantive, and need to be resolved quickly at this critical time. There may never be another free election if Trump has his way. He knows he would not be re-electable again.
You can leave a comment if desired or reply to the poll. Thanks for reading. []
