The Government Trump Tried To Overthrow Is What Will Put Him Away

If you want to be successful at anything you do in this life, the most important rule to follow is to know what you don’t know. Learning about something to make an educated guess is always far superior to taking a stab at it because you’re a genius. 

In fact, Donald Trump sowed the seeds of his destruction and imprisonment almost 50 years ago. He did this for a good reason. Because he’s an imbecile. While Trump may have spent the last 50 years desperately trying to convince the world that he’s a very stable genius, but deep down Traitor Tot knows what he is, a lazy, ignorant, feckless f*ck up. 

Trump is the business version of the latest boy band, loud noise, endless media exploitation, and well honed bullsh*t. Trump, already knowing that he was a miserable f*ck up, started his own business, and structured it in such a way that he could never be opposed by the smarter underlings he bossed.

Ask yourselves this. Trump is a business savant in real estate, right? So how come, after what he bragged as his 3rd or 4th incredibly successful venture, why didn’t he do as Mark Zuckerberg did with Facebook, and take the company public? 

A well engineered initial public offering on Wall Street would have raised enough revenue for Trump to fund a dozen projects. But it would also have brought Traitor Tot a board of directors, to whom he would be ultimately responsible. That kind of control was intolerable for Trump, so he went it alone.

And guess what? When Trump became President, he tried to do the same thing, go it alone. And being a civics imbecile, Trump simply collated the federal government as being the same as the Trump Organization. Trump is at the top, and everybody underneath does exactly what Trump tells them to do. His whole business life was lived under this principle, and being abysmally of what the US government actually is, and what it does, there was nothing to disabuse him of his fantasy.

The simple fact of the matter is that over the last 230 years, the federal government, by necessity as well as politics, has morphed far beyond anything that any one man can control. It has become a vast interlocking, maze of departments that tend to run independent of unified control. And even department cabinet level bosses have no actual idea of how their own departments run, due to the Manhattan phone book size regulations that they work under. But the low level minions do, they can recite them in their sleep.

The West Wing alone is enough to send Trump off to durance vile for the rest of his life. In Trump’s simple, fevered mind, he gives orders, and the minions blindly obey them. After all, that’s how his business works. But in his blissful ignorance El Pendejo Presidente never realized that in the federal government there is a higher authority than even the President himself.

And that authority is the rules. For instance, Trump has an aversion to anything with his name ot signature on it on paper. As such Trump had a habit of tearing up documents, forms, and even personal notes that Trump didn’t want to survive to see the light of day. Unfortunately, this was a violation of the presidential records act, and so staff members collected the pieces together, put them together like some kind of jigsaw puzzle with scotch tape, and submitted them to the National Archives. Viola! A paper trail that Traitor Tot thought he had disposed of.

Likewise, notetaking is an anathema to Trump, NO Paper trail! But a paper trail is the salvation of a civil servants ass. They take copious notes about everything. Trump hated that, and ordered that no notes be taken. Fine. The minions like James Comey just sat there, taking in every word. And the minute the meeting weas over, they went back to their desks, or to their cars, fired up their laptops and created a memo to self of their fresh recollections of the highlights of the meeting to memorialize them for the record. All conveniently date and time stamped on creation.

Because Trump is an imbecile, his nature is that there are two basic classes of participants in a high level meeting, the power people, and the minions. And of course for Trump the minions simply didn’t exist, they weren’t even there. Trump blissfully ran his meeting totally with and for the power people, who were of course sworn to secrecy. And then the minions went back to their desks, fired up their laptops, and created minutes of the meeting to memorialize it for all to see.

For those of you who doubt the possible critical nature of the minion, I offer you three words. Colonel Alexander Vindman. Vindman was a eastern European and Russian expert on the National Security Council that listened to Traitor Tot’s phone conversation with new Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Vindman saw the call as a cheap strongarm attempt to coerce Zelensky into digging up non existent dirt on Biden. His testimony before a congressional committee kickstarted Trump’s first impeachment. And here’s the beautiful thing about it. There are literally hundreds of Alexander Vindman’s scattered all through the West Wing and the government itself.

Thanks to his equally imbecilic mentor, Steve Two Shirts Bannon, Trump miscalculated. Look at history. Functional democracies don’t just suddenly turn into autocratic authoritarian governments at the drop of a hat. Stable democratic governments have guardrails built in to withstand occasional incursions. It’s democracies that are already weak, usually due to presidential greed and corruption that are ripe for a strong man to jump in and sweep it all away.

Our democracy in 2017 wasn’t weak, nor was it inherently corrupt. It was, as most democracies tend to be, inefficient, but it was functioning properly. And when El Pendejo Presidente swept in and tried to take over, the constitutional and governmental guardrails were in place to rebuff him.

Which is what makes Traitor Tot so incredibly dangerous in 2024. Trump’s over throw of the government was always a two term program. The first term to sufficiently weaken the normal functions of democratic government, and the second term to finish the process and install the dictatorship. That’s why Trump was willing to risk a violent insurrection on January 6th. A Democratic presidency could undo some of his preparatory work, making his 2nd term more difficult to get everything done.

But because our democracy was strong, and because the minions functioned as usual, not only was the system able to hold, but more importantly, those minions gave Jack Smith more than enough rope to hang Traitor Tot with. We can’t count on being that lucky again. Trump will make sure of it.

I thank you for the privilege of your time.
