It's not a game
Donald Trump has done so many terrible things to the United States, and in some sense, he is just getting started.
Before he was elected for a second time I warned that what was coming would render what had been to a mere prelude of what Trump would be most vividly remembered for.
Trump’s great danger to every American has always lied in his ability to start a war, which was always the last stop for his malignant narcissism.
Senator Jon Ossoff questioned Trump’s attachment to basic reality:
Donald commands an arsenal of 5,177 nuclear weapons, and the US Armed Forces, which number 2.81 million men and women, of whom hundreds have been wounded, and 11 have been killed in action in the current war with Iran.
Among Iranian civilian casualties are 168 school children killed by an American missile.
Trump refuses to apologize — or even acknowledge — the terrible event:
Below is official US government propaganda:
And this:
Who do you think it is aimed at?
Do you believe war is a joke?
Is it a game?
There seems to be no wisdom whatsoever around Donald Trump. The concept of restraint seems utterly alien to the MAGA fascists.
Believe it or not, only 98 days have passed since Donald snatched the FIFA Peace Prize off its inaugural pillow, draping it around his blistered neck, albeit less like Napoleon and his crown, and more like an addled 80-year-old bully at the Alzheimer’s home.
Back then Donald raged about his affront. Can you recall his demands for the Nobel Prize?
His rage against Norway?
He wanted the Peace Prize, and when he couldn’t get it, Trump lost his mind. Last month, in a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, he wrote:
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.
Yesterday, he said, “I’m no longer interested in it [the Peace Prize]."
Jeffrey Epstein looms everywhere, in every room in which Trump stands, in every space he presides, in every decision he makes, and in every golf cart he rides.
Whether Trump rides with the devil or is the devil is a theological concern which exceeds the boundaries of our current predicament, which is that Donald Trump has found his way to the war that was always his destiny to reach. No man of violence and venom can resist the siren song of modern warfare, which, after all, is just a game.
This is Trump’s team: Hegseth, Rubio, Vance, Cain, Bondi, Noem, Kushner, Witkoff, Musk, Weiss, Ellison, Hannity, Graham, Patel.
Never have so many nitwits commanded so much power. They are a terrifying bunch, to say the least.
Something terrible is building in America.
There are warehouses being turned into prisons.
There are masked men waging war on US citizens from LA, California, to Burlington, Vermont.
War is no game.
Yet, it is treated as such by a group of vile men and women who are playing with human life as if they were gods.
Trump is no god.
There is no divinity lurking around Trump. There is only blackness.
Only death.
Only misery.
Only wreckage.
Only corruption.
Trump is a national cancer, a pestilence that illuminates cowardice in all who bend to the wrong, in order to gain favor from the wicked.
The men in Florsheim shoes are consumed by their game. Let us hope we are not consumed by it as well.
Maybe it’s not a game, after all.
The damage Trump is doing to our world and our country is incalculable and all because our nation elected a narcissistic man completely devoid of empathy; an incompetent madman; a bull in the china shop.
Who Trump is and what his goals are can be readily determined by two quotes from today’s “Daily Gazette” (Schenectady, NY):
“‘When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,’ Trump wrote on his social media site.” (The Daily Gazette, “Energy secretary won’t rule out oil hitting $200,” 3/13, p. 1)
“President Donald Trump has long fought California’s efforts to curb tailpipe emissions and spur electric vehicle adoption, and last summer he blocked the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.” (“Trump administration sues California over emissions,” p. 2)
There is also this quote from the NYT:
“President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government’s legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet.
The action is a key step in removing limits on carbon dioxide, methane and four other greenhouse gases that scientists say are supercharging heat waves, droughts, wildfires and other extreme weather.
Led by a president who refers to climate change as a ‘hoax,’ the administration is essentially saying that the vast majority of scientists around the world are wrong and that a hotter planet is not the menace that decades of research shows it to be.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/climate/trump-epa-greenhouse-gases-climate-change.html
The “we” Trump is referring to in the first quote is fossil fuel billionaires not the general American population. His policies are designed to discourage clean and renewable energy sources which would provide safe and cheaper energy to the country. His goal is to further enrich the obscenely wealthy and he doesn’t care if that costs lives and increases prices that hurt the general population far more than the wealthiest among us.
We are now discovering how anyone could dump a series of gambling casinos into bankruptcy.
