different people can look at Trmp and some see IMMEDIATELY he's an obvious sleazeball ... he looks, talks, and acts like a sleazeball in everything he does. He's like the absolute worst possible extreme comic parody of a bad salesman -- someone who wants to trick you into doing something profoundly against your own best interests, and doesn't see anything -- anything -- wrong or even questionable about doing that -- in fact, he brags about it. Trmp has always considered lying, cheating, stealing, and threats of violence as just another part of the business model, notable only for their success compared to more positive approaches. And there was never the remotest chance that was going to change.
Others look at that same horrendous wreck of a human being and consider him a truth-teller, a guy who tells it like it is, someone who will really shake things up, a real leader -- and you have to immediately question their sanity, their gullibility, their ignorance, and just about everything about them to try to understand how they could be so appallingly blind to what the man is. How could anyone possibly have such totally nonfunctioning judgement to think -- even as a fleeting hypothesis -- that this ogre might be good for the country ? Of course, if you're a bloviating bully yourself, someone who sees nothing really wrong with ignoring all standards of civilized conduct, demeaning your opponents and even former colleagues, treating whole sectors of the population -- including women, who are a majority -- as truly, literally subhuman, lying about everything, even when it's so obviously lying that even your supporters don't believe it (but won't say anything), attacking your best allies, killing those you regard as enemies on the slimmest of excuses -- you probably were willing to consider Trmp as "one of us" without having to face the shameful standards as to how "us" was defined. So you let him run rampant over every law, every convention, every aspect of human decency, thinking you were gonna be OK because you were "with" him. But you forgot that old lesson, learned many times over the years -- there is no honor among thieves. Now he's ruined your markets, ruined your business, left your family begging for healthcare, left you in danger of losing the roof over your head -- and you think he's going to care ? Even going to do something about it ? He won't, and he won't. Grab a life saver, a piece of wreckage, a floating corpse, anything to hang onto -- because you are on your own. Trmp has got his, which used to be yours, and he's going after more. You were expendable. You have been expended. This is your future, for as long as Trmp keeps his position. And it's too late to be seeking the vaccine against Trmp -- you can only hope you wake up after they put you under the respirator, sometime in 2028. If you still have your life then, it will be all you have managed to keep.
And if you have any conscience at all, try not to think about all the other people whose lives were ruined by your support for this monster. It would be too hard to live with that much guilt.
