President Trump has long been the “decider” in the closely held family business he inherited from his successful, psychopath father. He has bankrupted every business venture he ever went into, or had them closed down for corruption, fraud and abuse — like Trump University or the Trump charity. The guy is a blustering con artist who nobody in his employ has ever said no to. There have never been consequences for anything he’s ever done. The spoiled bully he was as a child is the same special guy running the most powerful country in the world. Falling asleep at a recent televised meeting, during a boring presentation about numbers, a more tactless person than I might call him Sleepy Don.
His niece Mary put it perfectly — he’s the weakest man she’s ever known, his genius is consistently finding people even weaker than him. This weakness in his inner circle must always include a non-existent moral compass. Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted, Pete Kegsbreath, MAGA Mike Johnson, Kashyap Patel, Todd Blanche, Tulsi Gabbard, Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent, Hung Cao, Michael Cohen, the list goes on and on. The soul-dead opportunists riding the MAGA train all know the key to Trump’s inner circle is eternal public deference to the big guy’s desperate, sucking vacuum of an ego. Trump can’t be wrong, has never, ever been, so if he is wrong, forcefully, angrily defend how right he was to do whatever stupid or evil thing he’s just done. Then smirk defiantly for the cameras, threaten to sue, prosecute, imprison, and wait for the moment the bus rumbles by, the one you will inevitably be thrown under, when the time comes.
Is this a surprise to anyone?
A classic asshole, whatever we may opine about his psychiatric condition or how the abuse he endured as a child warped him into the destructive, compulsive liar, with a taste for killing (double tap strikes on fishing boats, a girls’ school in Iran, firing squads for federal executions, yo), who now controls 5,000 nuclear warheads. Sometimes, as they say, a schmuck is just a schmuck.
And in shocking breaking news, truly shocking, who would ever imagine such a thing at such a time?
