Friday (10/27) the majority of America got the news it has long been awaiting, Robert Mueller's office is bringing down charges, this coming Monday, stemming from Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US Presidential election. We don't know who will be indicted but, speculation, needless to say, is running rampant in America.
We realize that this first indictment won't necessarily bring answers to all the Russian/Trump questions that have been floating around since June 2016. Admittedly, this first step has come a bit quicker than the expectations laid down when the Committee was first formed. We also realize this is just the beginning, but to have an end we must start somewhere, so here we are.
For many Americans, including myself, the thought that this chaotic, rocky insane time in American political history is beginning a downward descent is a dream come true. It has been a nightmare trying to follow the insane, erratic path that Trump (his BFF Putin), the GOP and the RWNJs have decided to follow since Donnie started squatting in the Oval Office. The rollercoaster ride of uncertainty has lasted long enough. We need to begin redeeming ourselves to the World. The first step in accomplishing that is to eradicate the cancerous growth in the White House.
But, today during my daydreaming of a Trump-free America I got to thinking about the demise of DJT and the "unpresidential" manner in which Trump has presented himself to date and began to wonder how he would choose to exit The Hill. The thoughts I had were not pretty.
We all figure he won't go quietly. He will deny until he is literally handcuffed and taken away. He'll swear it's Fake News paid for by the DNC, who is still pissy about losing the election. Of course, we expect him to blame any and everyone but himself, asking us to believe that all the "colluding" was happening yet he was oblivious. We all know he will continue to make as much money as possible off this, the most profitable gig he has ever been involved with, without doubt, milking the cash cow to death. These scenarios are no-brainers and all have a bit of slap-stick around the visuals.
But, here is where the what-if and daydreaming get sketchy. Trump, as ignorant and stupid as he is, is a bitch-on-wheels, who will threaten, extort, harass and stoop to new lows to get what he wants. Not just in business, but in life. He has seen some shit during his brief stint of pretending to be the legitimate US leader, and you can't tell me he hasn't taken notes for future piracy against America and American interest all to promote his self-interest. Trump has been exposed to all things confidential.
The top-secret, covert and classified information that Donald has been able to amass in his short time lurking around DC is huge. Add this to his past behavior of being a petty, self-affirming, thin-skinned man-child who throws more tantrums than a spoiled toddler in the candy aisle should scare the hell out of Americans, American politicians, American allies and anyone Trump has accused of being "unfair" or "mean" to him, in any way, shape or form. The only person or people this should slightly thrill is America's enemies, as they could be ripe for a shopping expedition promoted by DJT.
From cyber hacking of election operatives (successful or not), to private info regarding Congress and world leaders, foreign policy direction involving world powers such as Russia, North Korea, China, and the Middle East, IRS & FBI records, and endless information on anyone Trump might get a hankering to find some dirt about is at the Orange man-child's tiny fingertips and no doubt he has been taking notes & taking screenshots until his fingers calloused up.
SCROTUS knows about covert military ops. He knows about spies, both ours and theirs. Will he extort life and limb to even the score with an old rival? Or his old employer who kicked him to the curb for a job done badly? What about his newly acquired knowledge regarding the border, ICE, and immigration? All three are self-admitted top directives of his, the GOP & the RWNJs that appear to still support this idiot. This leads us to people he will still have in place, on the inside, albeit not many, who will feel honored to maintain an alliance with the buffoon and shovel state secrets and info his way, feeling entirely justified and even patriotic because of the raw deal Donnie received from MSM and the American voters.
This doesn't factor in the daily security briefing Trump is given. Though, to be honest, we don't really know if he actually invests himself with the information that has been shared as he himself has proclaimed publicly that he doesn't need a daily briefing if it is just going to go over the same old shit day in and day out - he only needs to see it once and he's good to go. Add that to the sensitive information and inner workings of such things Presidential, for instance, the nuclear football, nuclear codes, nuclear placement and nuclear strategy that America has so covertly kept and played close to their vest for years. This information is very vital for the continued position America occupies in the world political scene. Some countries would pay a King's (or Dictator's) ransom to get their hands on the juicy tidbits of our national security options.
The damage someone with this information could do upon Americans, American soil or American interest, especially a "man" who lacks the morals, values, patriotism, intelligence, character, and temperament to make good judgment calls, that are for Country over self, well, you do the math, so to speak.
It is neither beneath Donnie's so-called norm nor out of character for him to be seen using the information he has been exposed to in a negative and potentially detrimentally dangerously deadly way. Actually, I don't know about others but, I see the possibility of him using sensitive and classified information, far easier and surely in a negative manner, than to act in an upstanding and protective way which would, first and foremost, protect the American political process. This doesn't seem to be his style, either on or off the court, so to speak.
Trumps inability to act with class and impeccable decision making skills should be what is in the forefront of the US governments immediate agenda and hopefully checks and balances have been put into place from January 20th until today, that the American people and their allies are unable to see but, were put into place, because the very threat of Trump being Trump was foreseen and fallout was minimized by those (not GOP) who treasure the political process that has kept America and its Presidents at the top of the world ranking since the beginning of the 20th Century.
Remember, Trump proclaimed he would not accept the results of the 'rigged' election unless he won. I don't think his threat was hallowed. All the fears many of us harbored if he lost the 2016 election will look like a good time if we cut his stint as Herr Trump short.
