The Madness of the Orange King

What's His Trumpness to do when he can't glorify himself by searching Google for feelgood stories about his truly?  Outlaw Google of course.  As absurd as this sounds, that's exactly what our dear president is proposing after a search for himself yielded all sorts of unkind sentiments at the top of his results.  I don't know what it will take to expose his madness anymore than these early morning tweets.

The Orange King tasked Larry Kudlow to investigate this incredible bias, first called out by PJ media.  Kudlow, his economic adviser, will also be probing facebook and twitter in regard to this "left wing bias."  Surely, Larry has better things to do.

There are a whole bunch of theories for this latest twitter tantrum.  Most likely he was upset by the adulation John McCain was getting in the wake of his death and was hoping to find some kind words about himself when he woke up needing to relieve his swollen bladder.  I wonder if he peed blue blood?

I imagine some of you will get the reference to King George, who began to lose his grip on reality when the British colonies rebelled against his highness in the 1770s.  The royal doctors weren't exactly sure what was going on with him. The King's moods fluctuated wildly.  He was under a lot of stress for losing the colonies, and Napoleon was kicking up a lot of dust in Europe as well.  Eventually, his affliction got so bad that his kids had him committed, with his eldest son taking over the throne as Prince Regent.  Today, we know this debilitating illness as porphyria, in which the afflicted actually pees blue blood.

Our dear Donald is also under a lot of stress, namely the Mueller investigation, which appears to be closing in on his inner circle.  Some suggest it won't be long before Donnie Jr., Jared and maybe even Ivanka are all indicted.  The "brave" Paul Manafort is apparently ready to flip ahead of a second trial to avoid spending the rest of his life in jail.  At that point, there will be nobody left to defend His Trumpness other than Alan Dershowitz.

The whole thing has gotten so bat-shit crazy that Alan literally lost his mind on Fox & Friends decrying what he regards as the extra-legal authority of the FBI, ending with an apocalyptic warning that they will become after you next, pointing to the imaginary television audience.

All I can say is that our dear President brought all this on himself.  All he had to do was drop out of the election when the shit first hit the fan back in early October of 2016 (the new year zero) with the Access Hollywood tape.  Instead, he gutted the election out, seemingly sure he would lose only to pull perhaps the biggest electoral upset in American history.

We all knew this man was not fit to serve as President, given his shady past and declining mental health, but still many people felt he might somehow rise to the occasion.  That never happened.  Surprise, surprise!  Here we are 19 months into his presidency and he seems more crazed than ever.  One may not like Omarosa, but she sure as hell pegged this guy.

While watching the president's interview with Lester Holt in May, 2017, Omarosa knew that "something real and serious was going on in Donald's brain" and that his "mental decline could not be denied."

We all knew this but few were willing to admit it, including Omarosa at the time.  This was shortly after he fired James Comey out of fear that the FBI director was coming after him.  The President was so damn paranoid that he hoped to eliminate the one man he felt was at the root of his worst fears.  Instead, he opened up a Pandora's box, which led to Rod Rosenstein calling for a special investigation into the allegations surrounding Russia's hacking of the 2016 election with former FBI director Bob Mueller in charge.

Since then it has been an almost daily twitter barrage against Mueller, Rosentein and Sessions, who Trump believes failed him the most by recusing himself from the investigation.  Our President believes all these federal agencies work for him, and should be serving his interests, as a team of business lawyers would.  This is what has led many to ask if Trump has even bothered to read the Constitution.

There are those who believe Trump is a modern-age Machiavelli, playing the public against the Mueller investigation, but this is just primal fear.  He said way back last summer that his family's personal finances was a red line that Mueller better not cross.  It seems that Mueller not only crossed that line, but has enough to indict members of his family on many of the same charges he leveled against Paul Manafort.

Trump's real estate holdings have served as a money laundering operation for Russian oligarchs for decades, making him easily compromised by Russian poltiical interests.  He first toyed with the idea of running for President back in 2000 on Ross Perot's Reform Party ticket, and also flirted with a run for New York governor.  So, it isn't surprising that Putin, who first came to power in 2000, has had an eye on Donald all these years, waiting for that propitious moment when he could use him.

The only problem is that this once formidable businessman appears to be riddled with so many anxieties that he can barely hold himself together.  As the White House walls close in around him, the madness grows deeper.  He no longer knows who to trust, as everyone appears to be plotting against him, including Google.

Maybe if Google provided Trump his own private search engine, similar to the one they are proposing for China, he can screen out all that "fake news," and watch only supportive videos from Fox & Friends and other media-friendly sources on his screen.  Let Donald live inside his bubble until the Mueller investigation is complete.  Then he can face reality when Steve Doocy has the sad task of informing the Orange King it's over.
