Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

Donald Trump and his team keep claiming that the president has come up with phrases and words that already exist, some for centuries.

“Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump,” Karoline Leavitt said this week. “He is the one who came up with that motto and that foreign policy doctrine, and he successfully implemented it in his first term," she claimed.

The idea that Trump, who has been given a terrifying nickname by Iran, came up with the phrase "peace through strength" is quite simply bizarre.

Around a year ago, Robert O’Brien, who served as Donald Trump’s White House national security adviser from 2019 to 2021 actually wrote about the history of that exact phrase for Foreign Affairs magazine. It comes as new dementia fears were raised about Donald Trump after viewers spotted a mysterious clue in his suit.

“Si vis pacem, para bellum is a Latin phrase that emerged in the fourth century that means ‘If you want peace, prepare for war,’” O’Brien explained.

“The concept’s origin dates back even further, to the second-century Roman emperor Hadrian, to whom is attributed the axiom, ‘Peace through strength — or, failing that, peace through threat.’”

While Leavitt appeared to be unaware of this, the phrase has also been used by officials in the US and around the world for generations........

However, it's far from the first time Trump or members of his team have made similar false claims about the president's apparent ability to come up with insightful phrases and words.

Last month, Trump defended his administration's controversial trade policies by arguing: “Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing." Then, he bizarrely added: "That’s a new word that I came up with."

But according to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of the word "equalizing" was all the way back in 1599. While discussing immigration last year, Trump also said: “The caravan. I made up that name, too.” But he didn't, the first-known use of "caravan" as a noun was in 1588 while its first-known use as a verb was in 1885...........

One of Trump's most outlandish linguistic claims came during his fist term when he sat down for an interview with journalists from The Economist.

Explaining why he was cutting taxes despite a growing budget deficit, Trump said: “We have to prime the pump.” The president added: “Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?”

Despite the editor confirming that he was familiar with the metaphor, Trump continued: “Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven’t heard it. I mean, I just ... I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good.”.............

Trump keeps making odd claims that he came up with phrases that already exist

Common sense says it’s true.

Donald has been even more erratic than usual this week, which is saying something, launching us into an illegal, unconstitutional, and unauthorized conflict with Iran and leaving everyone, including his own allies, waiting for his next move.

But now he's invoking a new power in order to excuse his behavior — a God he does not believe in. Donald shocked the world by dropping bombs on Iran on Saturday after claiming two days earlier that he'd take two weeks to think about how to proceed. In his speech after launching the unprovoked attack, he invoked God multiple times:

“I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God. I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel. And God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.”

The backlash was swift. First of all, invoking religion to justify any bombing is offensive, but in the context of bombing a Middle Eastern country it smacks of the Crusades. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, took it one step further when, at the end of his remarks, he said “We give glory to God for His providence and continue to ask for His protection.”

Whether Hegseth is a genuinely religious person I do not know, and I would prefer government officials not to speak in such terms about missile strikes. But Donald, despite his occasional attempts to pretend otherwise, is not religious at all.

When he was a kid in the 1950s, Norman Vincent Peale was hugely popular. Peale was pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in midtown Manhattan and his shallow message of self-sufficiency appealed enormously to my grandfather, Fred.

Peale was a charlatan, but he was a charlatan who headed up a rich and powerful church in New York City and he had a message to sell. My grandfather was not a reader, but it was impossible not to know about Peale’s bestseller, The Power of Positive Thinking.

The title alone was enough for Fred, and he decided to join Marble Collegiate Church. He and his family rarely attended, but Fred already had a positive attitude and unbounded faith in his abilities to succeed. He didn't really need to read “the power of positive thinking” in order to co-opt, for his own purposes, the most superficial and self-serving aspect of Peale’s message...........

Donald has been presented an opportunity by white evangelicals and extremist Catholics in this country to use religion as a prop and to exploit the faith of his followers.

In his own way, he understands that mouthing platitudes about the Bible, a book he has never read, is enough to convince people who are already predisposed to be convinced, that he shares their beliefs and is God’s messenger—if an imperfect vessel for the message.

In 2020 Donald ordered peaceful protestors to be forcibly removed from Lafayette Park just so he could stage a photo op at St. John's Episcopal Church. That's where he held a Bible upside down. Donald and his allies use religion to justify everything they do, no matter how diabolical. It is cynical, it is hypocritical, and quite frankly, it is a grotesque exploitation of the sincere faith of millions of Americans.

Mike Huckabee, a Christian Zionist who is the U.S. ambassador to Israel, recently posted a bizarre message claiming the decision to attack Iran came down to a conversation between Donald and the God he does not believe in. Huckabee said, “You have many voices speaking to you, sir, but there was only one voice that matters. His voice.” What concerns me is not that God is in direct conversation with Donald because that is nonsense. It is that there are a lot of voices speaking to him and they're all in his head.

As for the strikes on Iran, it was Benjamin Netanyahu Donald was listening to, not God. And anybody who thinks that a Christian or the Jesus Christ depicted in the New Testament would urge any one individual to carry out an unprovoked bombing of another nation is as delusional as the people who continue to think Donald Trump is some kind of holy man................

The problem is not that Donald doesn’t believe in God; it's that he's a hypocrite and he is a user. He believes in one higher power only and, in his head, that's him..........

............Still, Trump’s decision to assault ally Israel with such saltiness is a significant escalation of verbal warfare, and it can mean only one thing: Trump is really gunning for that Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump has coveted the award at least since Barack Obama won it, and so, his friends have repeatedly nominated him for it over the years. After Trump made war with Iran, they started again to pressure Oslo.

“Donald Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize,” Charlie Kirk asserted — and Trump reposted the comment.

“Affirmative action is when Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Donald Trump,” Donald Trump Jr. posted.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Alabama) told Sean Hannity: “President Trump is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize. No doubt.”

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia), hoping that Trump will endorse his Senate bid, wrote to the Norwegian Nobel Committee this week nominating Trump, rather prematurely, for his “historic role” in bringing about “an end to the armed conflict between Israel and Iran.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) introduced a Senate resolution urging the Nobel committee to give Trump the prize and calling on “all peace-loving nations” to do the same.

Alas, the committee is getting some conflicting advice on this point. The Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated Trump for the prize has just withdrawn his nomination, saying he has “lost any sort of faith” in Trump ending the Russia-Ukraine war, and Pakistan, which last week nominated Trump for the prize, two days later condemned the “unprecedented escalation of tension and violence” caused by Trump’s bombing of Iran.

Of course, it’s way too soon to tell whether Trump’s Iran attack will make things better or worse in the region. But Trump’s many nominators understand the timeless truth that the man is a sucker for flattery — and it costs far less than buying him a 747. Hence the constant adulation from his closest friends and allies, including this week’s entries:

“I know of no president, probably in our modern history, that has sought peace more than President Trump has,” proposed Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt bested that. “No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success,” she offered.
Fox News went with a chyron asking: “Is Trump a Mount Rushmore level president?”...........

Donald Trump’s campaign fundraising arm is now selling T-shirts with the president’s mugshot and the word “DADDY” emblazoned on the front after the White House embraced the nickname used by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to describe the president earlier this week.

“THEY’RE CALLING ME DADDY!” the president wrote through a Trump National Committee Joint Fundraising Committee message on Thursday.

“When Biden was President, we were LAUGHED at on the world stage. The whole world WALKED ALL OVER US!” the message said.

“But thanks to your favorite President (ME!) we are respected once again,” the message added. “Moments ago, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called me DADDY on the world stage. How nice!”

The shirt — featuring Trump’s booking photo from Georgia, where the president and his allies are criminally charged with racketeering and conspiring to overturn 2020 election results in the state — costs $27.……

I have no doubt tyrant Trump loves the idea of underage girls and boys calling him "daddy."

 

[LA 2 L.A.]

“Daddy” is cognitively impaired. At the least.

I'm going to add the following to my bingo card:

Trump has a complete mental breakdown or a completely incapacitating health crisis, death included, in the next year. That's just the setting for the the bingo card item. Those around him will try to cover it up in a panic by cancelling all public appearances and using deep faked videos to make it appear he's still functioning. They will get exposed because they will turn on each other like a school of rabies infected piranha.
