Now, we have Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First
Baptist Church in Dallas, one of those behemoth churches,
going a step further in his rantings and intoning that if
Jews, and others, do not vote Republican, God is going to
curse them and their descendants.
Jeffress is taking his talking points from both Herr
Trump and Jeffress’ own ill-advised renderings of Old
Testament scriptures which says that those who curse Israel,
God will curse.
As you can see, Jeffress is also taken the faces of the
four Congressional women (all from minority ethnic
groupings) as being one and the same as the Democratic Party
and he is extending this umbrella of cursing to cover all
Democrats.
I know…I know…You are probably wondering to yourself
out loud, how does that pertain to the United States cursing
Israel or the Jews?
News Flash! It does not but in the fact-free world of
Pastor Jeffress and Herr Trump, why spoil a bad argument
with verifiable facts!
No! Democrats, Jewish or otherwise, are not the object
of an Old Testament curse if they do not vote for either
Trump or the now seemingly morally or intellectually
dysfunctional Republican Party.
Herr Trump, now fitting into his newly self-acquired
role as King of the Jews has blasted the Jewish people as
being conflicted under a dual loyalty problem; and being
basically stupid if they continue to vote for the Democratic
Party.
Needless to say, that characterization did not go over
very well with Jewish leaders who took rightful umbrage
about Jewish voters being labeled “stupid” for adhering to
any dual loyalty trope if they vote for Democratic Party
candidates.
What are we experiencing here? We are in the throes of
a
president who is evidencing, in my humble opinion, a serious
and ongoing deterioration of his mental capacity and his
ability to even marginally uphold and execute the functions
of the White House.
In street parlance, Herr Trump is in way over his head
and is floundering, big time, and he cannot see a way out
and much less take any constructive criticism from those who
would have answers that he does not have (or want to have!).
This is what happens when you eschew accountability and
enter your own bubble world that you alone populate and you
tell yourself and your four surrounding walls that you alone
can solve all problems and you have dubbed yourself an
extremely stable genius.
If you think that the ranting aberrations of Herr Trump
may subside, I got some fool’s gold to sell you. His
machinations and quirky pronouncements will only get worse
as we near his doom day which is the 2020 election.
For Herr Trump, he knows that if he loses the election,
he will have the prosecutors from the Southern District of
New York panting for him with a bushel basket of criminal
indictments that have the distinct probability of having his
grandiose persona serving the balance of his life in some
federal prison.
One can only hope for such justice.
