And why? Partly because he is an inveterate liar and a
discombobulated person who affixes himself to wacky tales
and pure hogwash about anything that fits his alt-reality.
Trump has repeatedly shown that he is impervious to
being grounded in truth. Rather, he prefers chaos and lies
and mis-directions in the sense that he actually believes
that he is accomplishing something great for his fawning
base.
Think about it. Trump rocketed to fame when he first
believed the gargantuan lie that the former president was
born in Kenya and thus was an illegal alien who ran for the
presidency and won it.
For five years, Trump ran with that tall tale in spite
of glaring evidence to the contrary but he stuck with it
because it reaped a harvest of similar gullible persons who
also had itching ears and thus wanted to believe that lie
about President Obama.
From that time on, Trump was able to gauge the "sense"
of a disgruntled electorate who wanted change and not be
left in the backwaters of politics which did not do what
they wanted to see happen.
As a circus clown and circus barker, Trump was more than
willing to engage in bombastic rhetoric and to utter lies
and mis-directions if they were reasonably calculated for
him to reach his goal: the White House.
The media is nigh overwhelmed with keeping up with his
twitter lies and confabulations. Trump tweets out dozens and
dozens of tweets a week and with so many being outright lies
and half-truths, he can cause a person to wring his hands in
despair and wonder if the statements from the White House
are ever to be believed.
But, and this is the big enchilada...Trump grabbed a
rhetorical lightning bolt and threw it at President Obama
and accused the president of a felony.
He said in no uncertain terms that Obama personally
ordered his Trump Towers to be wiretapped! Not only did
Trump utter this ghastly lie with a straight face but even
when the FBI and others came out and said that there was
absolutely no truth to that canard, President Trump simply
called it FAKE NEWS! and doubled down on that lie!
Now, here is something that has not yet been raised in
polite company but I will raise it with you: With Trump
first accusing Obama of being an illegitimate president and
thus should have been impeached to get rid of him, isn't it
telling that Obama was also on the receiving end of Trump's
next humungous lie of the wiretapping Trump Tower?
What that tells me is that this thing with Obama is not
political but has racial overtones to it. Trump has deep
contempt for the Obamas and that contempt is borne partly
due to racial antagonisms that Trump has touted in his
virulent campaign and his association with the right winger,
Steve Bannon.
No one yet in the mass media has raised the "race card"
regarding that Trump's two major smear attacks have been
against a black man and a black man who showed so much class
and intelligence as president that Trump was not and is not
worthy to shine Obama's shoes.
Of course, Trump does not have the class, compassion or
moral backbone to apologize to Obama or to his wife,
Michelle or to their two daughters for the awful and
slanderous things he has said about her husband and their
father.
But, as the investigative wagons are circling around
its prey, Trump, you will begin to see more unraveling of
this unhinged person because he knows his time is short and
he must do all he can to mis-direct and deflect from himself
and his sycophantic followers.
I suspect, as in the Nixon/Watergate scenario, that
someone in Trump's inner circle will get "religion" and
start singing like a coal mine canary if and when he, or
she, can get transactional immunity from any prosecution for
any wrongdoing in exchange for his insider testimony.
I suspect that eventually either the Senate or the
House will subpoena from the IRS the tax returns of Donald
Trump and we, as a nation, will have a collective gasp at
the findings when we see that the president is "mobbed up"
with Russian fat cats and billionaires because they supplied
needed cash that Trump sought out in order to stay afloat
during a critical time in his business life.
I suspect that once the several investigations are done
involving Putin and company, that they will evidence a
pattern and practice of Trump and company having engaged in
acts and deeds that sold America short and, for that, Trump
will be impeached and tossed out of office.
It is beyond anyone's rational comprehension that
Donald Trump loves all things Russian and has and is still
willing to diss his own intelligence reports and still make
"moony eyes" at Vladimir Putin.
I mean, what is up with that? Trump has been dismissive
of his own country's reports about the evil empire, Russia,
but yet Trump, like a moth to a candle, can't help himself
by still throwing kisses at Putin and company.
My explanation for this bizarre conduct? Simple: The "Russkies"
have the damaged goods on Trump and company and Trump and
company are playing ball according to the rules from the
Kremlin...or else!
When the details of this "hostage" situation hits the
fan, I contend that Americans will be both shocked and
ashamed of the conduct of this guy who loves to say, "Make
America Great Again!" while, the whole time, he was
knowingly compromising the American electoral process and
being soft on Russia because he was compromised either
morally or financially with Mother Russia.
And of course, volumes of books could be written on the
cowardly behavior of so many Congressional Republicans who
were quite willing to allow this sham to play out because
they either feared reprisals from Trump or they could simply
care less since they got their wish: A Republican in the
White House.
Is Trump the Manchurian Candidate? Absolutely!
