Trump’s Growing Rage at Political Opposition




Our enraged president is losing whatever control he had of his emotions and limited capacity to reason coherently. He is now calling for indictment of his political rivals. This may be related to his intolerance of restrictions his coronavirus infection has imposed on him. NPR is reporting that the president’s doctor has given him a clean bill of health to operate normally starting tomorrow despite no public transparency about his real clinical status. Presumably, the president ordered his doctor to do this. Previously, his doctors stated that they wanted him to remain out of the public at least until next Monday.

Calls for indictment of political rivals is more evidence of the president’s deadly serious, inherent anti-democratic authoritarianism and utter contempt for the rule of law. The New York Times writes:
“President Trump berated his own cabinet officers on Thursday for not prosecuting or implicating his political enemies, lashing out even as he announced that he hoped to return to the campaign trail on Saturday just nine days after he tested positive for the coronavirus.

In his first extended public comments since learning he had the virus last week, Mr. Trump went on the offensive not only against his challenger, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., but the Democratic running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, whom he called “a monster” and a “communist.” He balked at participating in his debate next Thursday with Mr. Biden if held remotely as the organizers decided to do out of health concerns.

But Mr. Trump secured a statement from the White House physician clearing him to return to public activities on Saturday and then promptly said he would try to hold a campaign rally in Florida that day, two days earlier than the doctor had originally said was needed to determine whether he was truly out of danger. The president again dismissed the virus, saying, “when you catch it, you get better,” ignoring the more than 212,000 people in the United States who did not get better and died from it. 
The president castigated his own team, declaring that Attorney General William P. Barr would go down in history “as a very sad, sad situation” if he did not indict Democrats like Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama. He complained that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had not released Hillary Clinton’s emails, saying, “I’m not happy about him for that reason.” And he targeted Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director. “He’s been disappointing,” Mr. Trump said. 
‘Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we’re going to get little satisfaction unless I win and we’ll just have to go, because I won’t forget it,’ Mr. Trump said, referring to the investigation into his 2016 campaign ties with Russia. ‘But these people should be indicted. This was the greatest political crime in the history of our country, and that includes Obama and it includes Biden.’  
Ms. Pelosi said she planned to introduce legislation on Friday creating a commission on presidential capacity to review the health of a commander in chief under provisions of the 25th Amendment providing for the temporary transfer of power to the vice president in case of inability to discharge the duties of the office. “Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation,” Mr. Trump replied on Twitter.  
‘I felt pretty lousy,’ Mr. Trump said. But, he added, ‘I’m back because I’m a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young.’ He once again played down the severity of the disease. ‘Now what happens is you get better,’ he said. ‘That’s what happens, you get better.’”
At this point in his mental deterioration, our delusional president is not even pretending to operate in accord with the rule of law. Also, his mentally unsound state of mind cannot be denied any longer. If sufficient evidence showed that Obama, Clinton or Biden had committed crimes, they would have been indicted already by the hyper-partisan Department of Justice. In recent years, there have been many partisan investigations to destroy prominent democrats. All have failed to indict anyone so far.

This is another example of the president’s deranged, fake reality-based world view. Just like there is no evidence of massive voter fraud, there is insufficient evidence to issue indictments of the democrats the president wants thrown in prison. Neither massive vote fraud nor the alleged democratic criminal activity exists. Our obviously mentally ill president is grossly unfit to be in office. He needs to be removed from office right now. That GOP members of congress condone this by their silence indicates that they too are grossly unfit to be in office. 

The monster here isn’t Kamala Harris and Pelosi isn’t crazy. The crazy monster sits in the White House. Sadly, that obviously sick, disrespectful, enraged beast is aided and abetted by a corrupt, incompetent tribal GOP leadership.
