What Is Worse Than Donald Trump? More Donald Trump, By Philip Giraldi

Trump is the most egotistical president the U.S. has ever had, and given the competition, that’s saying something. From Philip Giraldi at unz.com:

Even when you begin to think that it can’t get any worse with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States the Orangeman does something that is so stupid and so reflective of a man who thinks only about himself that it makes one’s shudder in disbelief. Last week included some completely bizarre performances that could lead to nuclear war while also falsely promoting that our leader is a “man of peace.” That is in spite of the fact that it has become hard to imagine that Trump can even pronounce the word “peace” without an interpreter or the five letter word flashing up in boldface on his teleprompter screen. Let’s start with several recent developments about which there can be no real debate, though motive and expectations can be reasonably disputed. Consider for a moment the performance of a man who knows little beyond how to curse and harangue those who disagree with him as well as any skill beyond how to scribble a version of his own name in large letters with a marker pen.

Trump met last week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and also with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which will be discussed in due course below, but somehow the absurdity of what really interests him and fills his time as president of the United States of America is what immediately comes to mind for the reader. That would be the various subsets of his glorification of himself far beyond any point that might be considered either dignified or befitting for someone who holds high office and is in theory responsible for the safety and well-being of the citizens of the country that elected him.

I was particularly appalled by the announcement that the “Arch of Tr[i]ump[h]” project, which has been under discussion for some months, will now be starting within the next two months. Trump was in the White House waving a model of the proposed arch in his tiny fist last week as he babbled about the great project. The arch will be in the middle of the traffic circle that adjoins the entrance road to Arlington National Cemetery on the banks of the Potomac River. The circle also connects to the Memorial Bridge which crosses the river to the Lincoln Memorial. Trump characteristically declared that the monument will be much more imposing than the similar triumphal arches in Paris and Europe that celebrate wars fought and won. What he did not mention, however, is the presumable intention that he has to use the monument to glorify himself with his name in large letters across the arch lintel even though he never fought in any war for his own country due to his alleged “bone spurs” ailment. Nevertheless, the arch will be a monument to Donald J. Trump, similar to the recent desecration inflicted by his name being added to the US Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, even if the monumental arch does coincidentally also commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.
