"Go Trump!" Say His Enemies of the Day Before

     In correcting a spelling mistake in a previous post, I accidentally moved that post to the fore, ahead of the post freshly written on May 4, 2016.  While a minor blunder, I feel obligated to clarify the reason why a post obviously written last March sits now on May 4.  Details matter to me.  They don't to Donald Trump.
     Lester Holt of NBC News interviewed Trump in the latter's office during the last two days.  It's easy to identify it as Trump's office.  Like a megalomaniacal toddler seeing a mirror for the first time, Trump's office walls are covered with framed portraits of himself--magazine covers mostly.  From the available camera angles, I couldn't see two of the walls, but I extrapolate they are similarly overdecorated.  On the desk is a model of Trump's 757 airliner.  He would, if he could, have a mini-model of himself enjoying the interior luxury of the tiny airplane, hosting tiny journalists and a somewhat more than tiny version of Chris Christie.
     The little airplane's nose points upward, like an erect cock.
     Lester Holt didn't ask this, but I would like to know if Trump walks around his office sometimes, masturbating to himself.  Did the first Republican president, Lincoln, do the same?
     Trump, asked by Holt about his Birther ideas (the unsupported theory that Barack Obama is not an American citizen, believed in by millions of illogical Americans stoked in their idiocy by people like Trump) said he didn't want to talk about it anymore, because if he does, it just "becomes a story."
     When did Donald Trump ever walk away from a story about himself?  He spent four years questioning (without evidence) Obama's American citizenship, gaining followers thereby, preparatory, it now appears obvious, to building a support system of racist morons we've seen shouting slogans at his rallies.  His views on Obama's citizenship, whatever they really are, earned him the idiot vote.  Now, faced with a black journalist (Holt), Trump has said he's not interested in talking about the most significant lie of his political career.  Instead, he shifted blame to Hillary Clinton, claiming she "started it [the Birther Movement]."
     In the same interview, Trump said he hasn't yet started "going after Hillary..."  Another lie--his offenses against her have already begun.  He's accusing Clinton of being a Birther (which she isn't and never has been).  Trump, apparently, referred to a tactic of the Clinton Campaign considered by some of her people in 2008, when she ran a difficult contest against Obama for the nomination.  They wanted to emphasize Obama's growing up in places like Hawaii and Indonesia (true), which supposedly sets him apart from the lives of ordinary Americans.  The tactic (probably because it's idiotic) didn't get used, and in any case, Hillary Clinton never had anything to do with the spreading of Birther ideas, which Trump did excessively in 2011 and 2012.  He appeared on TV news so many times then, talking about the kinds of crackpot ideas heard in the 1980s on The Morton Downey, Jr. Show.  I recall an episode of that program which featured a young man who claimed he was convinced that Ronald Reagan was Satan.  For evidence, he offered the fact that each of the president's three names, Ronald Wilson Reagan, has six letters; thus, 666.
     Like with Birtherism, there is no evidence that Reagan was Satan, but a weirdo could get on Downey's show and make that claim.  Trump, three decades later, though he didn't originate Birtherism, as he claims Hillary Clinton did, may as well have claimed Obama is Satan.  The Reagan-obsessed crackpot on Downey's show, and our orange-faced crackpot and newly minted Republican likely nominee are mainly different in that the former is obscure, while the latter is famous and rich.
     Holt, unfortunately, didn't say, "Give me your evidence, actual evidence, that Hillary Clinton originated Birtherism."  Trump wouldn't be able to produce it, he'd sidestep and shift topics, but he knows he can't produce such evidence because it doesn't exist.  He also knows he can lie and he won't be challenged seriously.  Truth, real facts, are no longer valued in the political game.  Neither is integrity.
     The Republican Party, Trump as their Prom Queen ascending the steps to be crowned, doesn't know what to do with itself.  Some Republicans are considering supporting Hillary Clinton.  In the 1980s there was a bizarre hybrid called Reagan Democrats, or, as I referred to them, Republicans.  Now, will there be Hillary Republicans?  If so, I will call them Democrats.  What they really are, though, is a group of people who couldn't take a stand against an evil man corrupting their already corrupt party.
     Last year, I did not hear Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, high-ranking Republicans, speak out against Trump's horrible statements about Latinos, women, Muslims, innocent wives and children of terrorists ("They're not so innocent, believe me," Trump once said, defending his desire to commit war crimes).  I did not hear Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who ran against Trump for the nomination but dropped out early, speak out against the billionaire.  Now, McConnell and Walker both endorse Trump.  Will Ted Cruz do the same?  I'd be surprised if he didn't.  Trump, in the Holt interview, said he "and Ted" got along well in the past, and maybe Cruz would come around: this, a day after Trump accused Ted Cruz's father of being in league with Lee Harvey Oswald in the assassination of John F. Kennedy!  The exclamation point is there because it wasn't on Trump's face.
     "I accuse your father of doing something horrible.  I base my accusation on a fuzzy photograph reproduced in a newspaper no intelligent person takes seriously, and, Ted, can I expect your support?"
     This, along with Holt reminding Trump of his positions on Muslims (not letting them into the country), on Latinos (mass deportation and the building of the wall which Mexico will pay for with money made from unicorn bones), on women (the demeaning statement, "playing the woman card") and other disgusting statements burped out of his ugly mouth, should show any keen observer of the human face, that Donald Trump is a psychopath.
     There were no human reactions to Holt's statements as the journalist read off the partial list of inhumane utterances by the most exposed presidential candidate in American history.  He gives the same reaction to the idea of building the wall (a fantasy) that he gives to the notion of he and Ted Cruz being friends again.  Whether Cruz debases himself in this way or not (I predict that he will), Trump will move forward in the utter certainty of the rightness of his actions and words, a creature chained to his ego, committed above all to its glorification, acquiring things and stamping his name upon them, inside an echo chamber that is himself, as he tries now to make that self America, which will never be great again if he succeeds.
