The Insanity Is Metastesizing
The Insanity is Metastasizing
Junious Ricardo Stanton
Every day we are increasingly witnessing indications
this nation’s misleadership is totally insane. The president of the United States
can’t seem to make up his mind from day to day. One day he floats universal tariffs
threatening allies and competitors alike, claiming they are ripping the US off that
the US trade deficits are their fault, the next day he postpones or reduces
them. Now he is threatening sanctions which are really forms of economic warfare,
intimidation and coercion against nations he disagrees with in order to whip
them into doing what he wants them to do. For example, demanding Vladimir Putin
stop crushing Ukraine in that nation’s US/NATO backed proxy war against Russia!
Trump was the one who said he would
end the Ukraine mess once he was inaugurated and bring peace to Gaza within
days of becoming president. We all knew Donald Trump was a narcissist with a
huge ego who fancied himself as the world’s best and greatest deal maker. He is
an internationally recognized businessman who brought an entrepreneurial
approach to the rough and tumble, highly divisive US partisan politics.
However, after serving one term and
failing in his stated objectives such as winning trade wars with China, Mexico,
Canada and the EU and supposedly draining the D.C. Deep State swamp, Trump
foolishly eschews learning from his mistakes and mishaps and unfortunately for
us, is doing the exact same things again with the exact same results. Yet
nevertheless he pushes the pedal to the metal and chaos and uncertainty are the
consequences.
This time the stakes are much higher.
His bluster, bravado, bombast and threats could launch a global war which in
turn could trigger a nuclear holocaust. His response to Israeli genocide and
ethnic cleansing in Gaza and wars against its neighbors was to not only double
down on it, but to suggest the US could turn Gaza into a seaside resort! Then
he joined Israel in its unprovoked illegal and immoral attack on Iran. He
bragged the US completed the mission obliterating Iran’s nuclear facilities
when in fact the US failed while Iran devasted Israel and symbolically attacked
a US military base to demonstrate its capabilities. To make things more Bizarro
World and Twilight Zone like, Iran warned the US it was going to attack the
base beforehand through a third-party Qatar and the US warned Iran what its
response to the attack would be which also happened to be Qatar! You can’t make this stuff up.
On the domestic front, several
weeks ago the US Attorney General and head of the FBI announced they had the
files on Jeffrey Epstein and his honey-trap extortion sex trafficking of underaged
children and were set to release them. Then all of a sudden, they reneged.
Their reversal stirred a hornet’s nest among the MAGAites and all hell broke
out. Trump in return bad mouthed the MAGAites which only infuriated them more
and raised more questions and scrutiny. This
fiasco makes Trump look silly, it gives the impression he is hiding something
which he is; the scope and circumference of the Epstein operation and the
number of high-profile people like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and assorted others
who were involved in it.
With all this occurring in the
first six months of his administration, if we extrapolate this pattern into the
rest of his term, we are in for a hell of a ride. The insanity is
metastasizing.
