Trump’s ‘Beautiful’ Words and Unreality

It’s not the fact that Trump has the vocabulary of a 10yo, dubya Bush had a similar ‘dexterity’ with words and grammar. So, was moron Bush a prelude to imbecile Trump, clearly yes. The dumbest of dumb world leaders now unquestionably emanate from the USA, the dumbest of the dumb. Though that is not my principal point, as the world is well aware of the fact.

It is Trump’s very dangerous propensity to depart into pure delusion and fantasy, which would ultimately, if Trump is allowed to remain as president, ruin the nation. Now note the utter fantasy of Trump’s latest claims which are the result of his gullibility to the Pentagon and his personal need (NPD) to boast and self-glorify:

“Our military has never been stronger [though COMPARATIVELY WEAKER THAN CHINA AND RUSSIA]. Each day, new [fantasy or lie] equipment is delivered; new and beautiful equipment, the best in the world [his Pentagon fantasists have no idea of the technologically superior weaponry of other superpowers, fact.] – the best anywhere in the world, by far [total codswallop - research the F-35 strike fighter].” Bracketed comments added.

Following are wry comments by William Blum on the matter, however, he fails to emphasise that fantasy NEVER survives a confrontation with brutal R-E-A-L-I-T-Y -- I apologise to international readers for spelling out ‘reality’ for the benefit of Americans:

Here the man thinks that everyone will be impressed that the American military has never been stronger.

And that those who, for some unimaginable reason, are not impressed with that will at least be impressed that military equipment is being added EACH DAY. Ah yes, it’s long been a sore point with most Americans that new military equipment was being added only once a week.

And if that isn’t impressive enough, then surely the fact that the equipment is NEW will win people over. Indeed, the newness is important enough to mention twice. After all, no one likes USED military equipment.

And if newness doesn’t win everyone’s heart, then BEAUTIFUL will definitely do it. Who likes UGLY military equipment? Even the people we slaughter all over the world insist upon good-looking guns and bombs.

And the best in the world. Of course. That’s what makes us all proud to be Americans. And what makes the rest of humanity just aching with jealousy.

And in case you don’t fully appreciate that, notice that he adds that it’s the best ANYWHERE in the world.

And in case you still don’t fully appreciate that, notice that he specifies that our equipment is the best in the world BY FAR! That means that no other country is even close! Just imagine! Makes me choke up.

Lucky for the man … his seeming incapacity for moral or intellectual embarrassment.

He’s twice blessed. His fans like the idea that their president is no smarter than they are. This may well serve to get the man re-elected, as it did with George W. Bush.
