TRUMP - JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS

While Joe Biden’s transformation from Joe Bader Ginsberg Biden to Joe George Washington Biden obliterated the giddy past week which begun with former President Trump’s near death experience and ended with theTrump/Vance three ring circus the latter does warrant some attention……

Following Trump’s assassination attempt with an AR 15 Semi Automatic Assault Rifle, he indicated that he would rewrite his acceptance speech at the Republican National Party Congress, (RNC), and call for national unity. In the next breath he nominated J. D. Vance who had just posted on Elon Musk’s X,“Today is not an isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination”. The nomination of 39 year old Vance was evidence enough that whatever Trump may say, MAGA white authoritarianism extremism is here to stay. 

In fact the whole gaudy RNC Congress dystopian reality was a presentation of George Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty - Four, which was written 75 years ago. In short, like everything about the man who in his last Presidency was going to build a wall which Mexico was going to pay for, is just “Smoke and Mirrors”. This Convention was all about El Duce himself, Donaldo J. Trump who is in the words of that iconic Sinatra song “ King of the Hill,, Top of the Heap, A number one”. But first to dispense with the VP nominee, J. D. Vance, who is Trump on steroids. 

ADVANCE NOTICE ON VANCE

Just to give the scoop on the newest version of the multiple retreaded Hillbilly J.D. Vance before getting onto Trump himself. JD, as he is affectionally known, in his weakly delivered prime time never ending “eulogy” to the Maestro took us down memory lane in order to show how old President Biden was. In so doing he forgot that his hillbilly history also reminded the long suffering audience how geriatric the other contender was.  He, JD, was just an ordinary graduate from Yale, who was a hedge fund manager and whose campaign was financed by billionaire Peter Thiel. Apparently JD, who aspired to be the spokesperson for the workers, wanted to bite the very hand that feeds him.

But Jay. H.El digresses as JD's epic was far more newsworthy for the missing blood and thunder red meat that got his youthful self on the double IMAX stage on night three of the Trump Convention. Missing was his sweeping cultural agenda - such as a national abortion ban and that middle class men should be able to earn enough for their “women” to stay at home. Then the tax cut for Peter and his good self which presumably could be balanced by axing Medicare, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act was not part of his oration. He also wants a weaker dollar for all those crypto guys sitting in the VIP boxes not to mention he and The Boss’s tariffs, (sales tax), that they want to put on all imported goods. 

Then forgotten in the endless litany of BS was his support of Project 25 supposedly to rid America of the Dark State which is out to get Trump. But enough already of the understudy and onto The King himself. The last word on Vance is that he opined to the American Conservative, that Trump was America’s Hitler.

EL PRESIDENTE - THE 45th THAT IS  - ON HIS BIG NIGHT, BY G-D’S GRACE

Hooray for Hollywood! What an irony, Hulk Hogan for heavens sake. If you are uninitiated, professional wrestling is as phony as Trump. In addition a 50 year old Kid Rock performing like he was at a Bar Mitzvah party. To put on this circus Trump is not really looking to expand his base. Nevertheless he claimed that he wanted to be a President for all Americans.

Reverend Franklin Graham, his daddy was the famous Billy, confirmed what Fox and all the right wing media had long ago concluded, namely that G-d was on Trump’s side. Trump himself did not have too many doubts about divine intervention in his bid to Make America Great Again, “I am not supposed to be here. I am supposed to be dead,…many people are saying it’s by God I am still here”

Notwithstanding his resurrection,Trump was not juiced up like in his rallies. He harped on the assassination attempt with all the theatrics. Not so subtly he confided that G-D backed his immigration policy and the bullet clipped his ear as he turned to look at the made up graph that proved that “Sleepy Joe” was allowing the illegals in to vote for him in November. 

The paranoia had to come sooner or later as he, with controlled anger, confronted the Democratic Party in their judicial  onslaught against him. Then he admitted that he was trying to buy votes. Then the BS followed big time as he bragged about his wonderful Presidency and Biden’s disastrous administration and the world mess which is all “their fault”, which he will fix up with everything else.The hyperbole had to come - the hundreds of thousands killed by the illegal immigrants and the197 percent of the jobs he created that the illegal immigrants have taken when they weren't busy killing everyone in-between their crime sprees. 

He asked the unenthusiastic crowd to “get excited”.He did mildly warm up towards the end which took forever to come. Before relief arrived the tissue of lies sprayed the arena, He really harped on and on about the invasion of immigrants. It was drill baby drill, deport the illegals and close the borders. The economy sucked big time. The Democrats cheated in the 2020 election. In order to wake up the crowd Trump adlibbed for a third of the 90 minutes including the bilge about the criminals, the murderers, the mental institutions and drug dealers being released into America. Venezuela was going to be the venue for the next RNC Congress!. He can stop wars and cure all diseases. He poured 250 million into Wisconsin not Biden’s Infrastructure Act.  Hannibal Lector as did “Crazy Nancy”, merited mentions. 

Some of this was patent cognitive decline. The crowd remained unenthusiastic, Eventually it mercifully came to an end about a week after he started. 

EL PRESIDENTE - THE 45th -  JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS

The lies came out rata tat tat. The key message was the same old same old PLUS he now had proof that G-D had sent him to save America. Like “The Savior” he was being martyred to save them. 

As a matter of mundane politics the 45th President  did not touch on abortion nor plans for that “Highly respected by all jurisprudence experts, Judge Eileen Cannon’s” possible appointment to the Supreme Court. No mention of the political prisoners that the Biden Justice Department has prosecuted and his promise to let them out. As for Project 25, written by a 140 members of his former administration which included his promise to axe all civil servants of the “deep state” and replace them with Trump loyalists, not a word. In case anyone doesn’t believe he is capable of the latter that is what he did with the whole RNC infrastructure and put in his daughter in law in charge as Chairperson to boot. 

Trump didn’t detail that his massive tariff on all imported goods was inflationary as economists had forecast. Nor did he elaborate that his tax plan was only for the rich and would Increase the deficit even more than he had in the first four years.  His axing of regulations would expose the masses to risk and allow big business to ride rough shod over citizenry. He didn't offer his previous explanation for the record breaking stock market which he had claimed was in anticipation of his Presidency. Nor did he offer any theory as to why if he was still President he was running to remove Biden!

He ignored the self dealing and grift he and his family are involved in. Two billion for Jared and a Trump Hotel in Saudi Arabia for starters. Or how his gullible followers have forgotten his campaign promises back to 2015 that he didn’t need any money for the campaigns because he was “really rich”. Nor did he bother to explain how he was creaming their contributions for his massive army of lawyers who were successfully making a mockery of the justice system.

Like abortion, which was dealt with in the weakest RNC platform motion in decades, in the hope that everyone would forget his boast that he delivered the justices that axed abortions, he didn’t mention his unconditional support for guns. That was jolly decent of him, bearing in mind that he was shot with an AK rifle that the Democrats have tried to ban for ever. 

Jay H. Ell could go and on but the assassin’s bullet that nearly brought him to his Maker hadn’t altered his world view one jot. Everything about Trump is just “Smoke and Mirrors”.

Just a few of his choice quotes to end this off. 

‘They’re not after me. They’re after you. And I just happen to be standing in their way.”

“In 2016, I declared, I am your voice. Today, I add I am your warrior,  I am your justice. and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution”.

'“ They, (Illegal immigrants), are poisoning the blood of our country”.

“I will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country”.

“Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath  That’s gonna be the least of it” 

“If this election isn’t won, I am not sure that you’ll even have another one in this country”.

 For Trump there is not one America, His war is not with the evil empires of Russia, Iran and North Korea. His war is with his fellow countrymen who don’t want to install him as a King. He is no patriot, it’s all smoke and mirrors.

AT THE END OF THE DAY

It would be the end of the day if “law and order” Trump was re elected. Don’t forget he is the twice impeached, convicted of 24 felonies, four times indicted, declared a rapist by a federal judge, had his fake university closed, his charitable organization shut for donating other donors’ money to himself, fined 350 million dollars for his fraudulent Trump company that has been criminally convicted and is the alleged instigator of an insurrection to overthrow the Constitution of America. It is appropriate that Trump's opponent will be a prosecutor. 

Even Moses had to pass the torch to Joshua. 

Funny how Wall Street is so readily funding Trump/Vance who argue that they are wholeheartedly against it. 

It is going to become real ugly fast.
