A Slapdash Man in a Turned-Down World
The president’s unapologetic calls for force, and his efforts to bring the military into his political line, follow a strongman’s playbook. It’s a risky move for him, and for democracy.

BUNKER BOY TRIES DESPERATELY TO DENY COWARDICE
“A hallmark of authoritarian regimes is to call truth into question — except as the regime defines it. Russian president Vladimir Putin offers up a fog of disinformation to maintain power, including denying obvious facts (such as Russian involvement in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17), spouting falsehoods and deflecting attention with nonsensical comparisons (dubbed ‘whataboutism’).” Then the authors quote former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul: “A cumulative effect of all these tactics is nihilistic debasement of the very concept of truth.”

A FLAWED MAN
We can trace the history of Trump’s duplicity back to the early 1980s, when deeply flawed and in need of funds, Russian oligarchs targeted the pipsqueak millionaire, and began to groom the coquettish mandarin with the vague promise of loans, laundered cash and perhaps most appealing to a man so tawdry and flawed: Power. The KGB knew his flaws and they knew that he was a malignant narcissist. They played to his greed and they won him over. He worked first as a “useful idiot.” And, make no mistake, the KGB knew they were dealing with a deeply psychotic personality. Thus the KGB, including a prominent black ops operative named Vladimir Putin, were gambling that those flaws and that mentally sick man would pay dividends at some future date. Never in their wildest dreams did the KGB think that this sociopath would become President of the United States of America. He did. Thus spake Zarathustra.
An authoratarian douchebag without one teeny tiny piece of redemptive thought or will, Donald Trump is proving what every single Democrat knew before his election. He’s a dumb, ill-educated, striviing, desperate, misogynistic, racist pig. No one disputes that now. The only thing added is the dementia, and the paranoia that feeds his sociopathy. Now? Along with that hodgepodge of desipcable character traits, America, sadly has to factor in the very real possibility that this barking mad psychopath willl actually destroy the country.
