Sad Crass, Sag-Sacked Trump Gets Nobel Peace Prize – How to Steal Someone’s Lunch & "Why I Love Dictators and Not Greenland."

Yesterday, our crass, puerile, sad-sacked President was stupid enough to use American power not to actually advance democracy and peace, but to coerce Maria Karina Machado into giving him her Nobel Peace Prize. He described her doing so as a “wonderful gesture of mutual respect.” Pres. Trump is too dumb to understand when people are kissing your ass because they want something, as opposed to actual genuine love and mutual respect. He has never known in his entire life what it is to have either. This is because he doesn’t want love, he doesn’t want respect; he learned at an early age to relish getting what he wants by taking it—whether with promises of wealth, with threats to destroy you or just because he can.

He was too dumb to understand that the women he sexually assaulted that "let him," did so out of fear or hopes for something more than the pleasure of his groping hands. Or if he did realize this, he didn't care because he uses like a tool, everything he gets, including the presidency.  

Because of that, he is predictable, shallow, corrupt, and dangerous.

When you use U.S. taxpayer money to have the U.S. military pluck a fellow dictator out of his country for the purpose of plundering its wealth, and leave in power the fellow dictator’s repressive murder machine, and spurn the leader who obtained the most votes in a democratic process because you can’t play her like a marionette, you force that leader to lick your boots.

And that is what Maria Karina Machado displayed: a boot-licking ceremony in which she delivered up to His Royal Ego-Roided Highness the Nobel Peace Prize. I do not blame her. She is swallowing her pride, maybe her power, and doing what she has to do to try to foreclose Donald Trump and all his lackeys from plundering her country by allying itself with the regime that has the expertise in suppressing the asperations of its people and plundering its wealth. Because if that's what you want, who better than they?

History demonstrates that people like Donald Trump, in fact, follow that model with third world countries. They like authoritarian murder-machine regimes because those regimes do not have to answer to their populace, a legitimate duly elected legislature, nor their consciences—because they have none. If you actually pay attention and have watched what Donald Trump has done with his businesses and in his presidencies, he has engaged in corruption rackets around the world with the world’s most notorious dictators. It’s an easy way to fill his pockets and those of his extended family without any recourse.

Based on that, as I predicted, exactly what he’s doing now in Venezuela—and is attempting to do in Greenland, and most likely will without Republican resistance—is that he doesn’t care about the Venezuelan people. He won’t ever let Machado assume the reins of power in Venezuela unless she promises him a better deal than its current government, which means she will sell out her fellow citizens and her country. Short of that, she will have to find a way to obtain power, and when she does, she will have to betray her “loyalty” and “respect” for Donald Trump. At that time, Donald Trump—as he always does, because his entire MOS is transactional and coercive—will turn on her.

He doesn’t care about Venezuelans, he doesn’t care about you, he doesn’t care about the people of Greenland any more than he cared about Puerto Rico. Yet he may toss them a few paper towels for a Photo-op, but that’s the extent of his concern.

We would be so dense and stupid as a country to take Greenland by coercion or force, which would put us in line with every autocratic, totalitarian state that has ever existed in the world. Don’t fool yourself because of your soap-scrubbed faces, your pocket Bibles, and alleged Christian credentials into thinking that it somehow makes it right. It’s not right. Everything that Donald Trump allegedly wants from Greenland can be obtained without taking it over. And every excuse to do so is the amusing rantings of a narcissistic lunatic. Our country is being run by a bona fide abject lunatic. Why can’t you all recognize that? Are you that deep into your delusions?
