Reduced to parsing a victory from a “not guilty of rape” verdict—a mere technicality about what was put where—the 45th president’s lawyer had to be well aware that his psychotic and sociopathic client’s ego had done him in. I’m sure that $5 million loss plus legal fees will be doubled by the time the guilty pervert finishes paying his lawyer. He’ll keep getting paid too, even though there’s the chance of a snowflake in the fires of hell that the balding narcissist will win on appeal. (And that’s just one trial!)
Donald J. Trump continues to be the big loser, and the Good Ole Piranhas supporting him will also continue to lose hugely. 2024 isn’t 2016. Too many people have Narcissus le Grand’s number. He never had what it takes—he will forever be remembered as the worst president the US has ever had—and now he’s been convicted by a jury, even though the jurors, judge, and plaintiff’s lawyer were threatened by Trump and probably by many of his followers.
If anyone needed more proof that the “f&^%ing moron” is a mentally challenged psychotic sociopath—the quote is from ex-SecState Tillereson and the diagnosis originated from a large group of qualified mental health professionals—they now have it on record in that civil trial. First, he confused one of his ex-wives with the plaintiff in a photo after claiming that the latter wasn’t his type. I’m sure Marla was happy to learn that she wasn’t his type!
Second, he reacts to the replaying of that “Access Hollywood” tape, which should have been enough to disqualify him in 2016 if evangelicals hadn’t held their noses against his sulfurous stench and voted for him. Maybe they were thinking of that classic laying-on-of-hands scene at Trump Tower that the germaphobe Trump tolerated?
But whoever said that the fanatically religious were intelligent? Or maybe it was the weak and unbelievable claim that the tape was just locker-room talk? In his deposition, though, he admitted that the tape basically described his modus operandi with women because, after all, he’s a star who “fortunately” can get away with things like that.
The jurors were quick to realize that E. Jean Carroll was indeed Trump’s type (if not, Marla wasn’t either!) and that what he described as his common practice on the tape was indeed how he’d reacted to E. Jean in that department store. In effect, Trump dug his own legal grave. He might as well have confessed and saved the legal system some time and money.
Do the male MAGA maniacs really applaud this egotistical and predatory behavior exhibited by their fuehrer? Do they believe that women were only created by God from Adam’s rib for them to abuse? There are devout Catholics and evangelicals among those male MAGA maniacs. Do their female partners approve of the fuehrer’s Neandethal attitudes? Or does everyone just look the other way, tolerating Narcissus le Grand’s macho actions and perverse behavior because he’s turning the country into a fascist theocracy that’s looking an awful lot like Iran?
There’s a psychological aberration called folie a deux where two people share each other’s delusional behavior. I think Trump has invented folie aux millions where he and all his followers share the same delusions. That’s straight out of 1984, if not worse; was evident on January 6, 2021; and it’s damn scary. If you don’t think so, you’re part of the problem!
