Trump Short Stories for a Short Week

Trump Short Stories for a Short Week

I don’t have time to write all of these stories in detail, so I will go on almost twitter form.

  1. Trump Is an Expert on Immigration, Because He is From an Immigrant Family.

Trump’s mother is a chain immigrant from Scotland.  Trump’s Grandfather and Grandmother are chain immigrants from Germany.  

Trump’s wives Ivana and Melania are immigrants.  Trump has three children from Ivana and one from Melania.

Melania chain immigrated her sister and her parents.  Trump never held that news conference about Melania’s initial work and immigration status.

Ivanka is married to Jared Kushner.  His grandfather, Joseph Berkowitz and his wife Richel Kushner are Holocaust survivors from Belarus.

Ivanka and Jared have three of Trump’s grandchildren.

Counting the chain relations, there are thirteen immigrants floating around in Trump’s world.  Like for many Americans.

2.  US Military About to be Defeated by Mothers and Children in the Central American Caravan.

Trump never realizes that all of the people he orders around are real people with feelings and tragic stories.

All of the troops that he has sent to the border, 7,000 to maybe double that (of course) 15,000, were living on bases with their families, and they have been separated from them for the holidays.  

Their mission, should they accept that, is to halt the INVASION of thousands of boys, women, and children, who have walked more than a thousand miles to legally apply for refugee status and safety for their children.  They have blisters, and may be sick from hunger, thirst, hot weather, and no medical care.  

The troops would immediately want to treat their wounds, feed them, and get them medical care, like they would their own wives and kids.

Instead, they will be pushing them into tents, surrounded by barbed wire that they have put up, feeding them military rations.

Is Trump going to make the troops separate the young children from their mothers?  The troops know full well that Trump doesn’t care if they will ever be reunited.  Are the troops thinking how they have been uselessly separated from their own children, for the holidays no less, just to help Trump keep his Republican Congress?  In other words, they are the political pawns.  

Will the troops know that their jobs would normally be done by civilian ICE workers, but that Trump had run out of federal monetary sources and personnel to run his personal refugee gulag program? 

Will the troops have to separate any babies who are still nursing from their mothers, knowing what it was like when their own kids were nursing?  The troops who can speak some Spanish, which would include many if they were raised near the Mexican border, will be able to speak with the refugees, and sympathize with them.

Yet all of Trump’s purposeful hyping of the immigration threat, is increasing his popularity in important states of Arizona, Nevada, and others.

3.  Trump’s paraphrasing of Nathan Hale:  My only regret is that I have but one country to give for my life.

4.  Trump doesn’t even have to write an executive order in order to modify the 14th Amendment.  If he had read page 1,618,033 of his Twitter agreement, that all of its users have to read and agree to, which refers to Presidential powers, only, he would find out in paragraph 9, that he has the power to override the Constitution with just a tweet.  His 53 million twitter followers will back him up on that.

Unfortunately for Trump, paragraph 10 on that page states that he will automatically be impeached by Twitter when he reaches 6,000 Twitter lies, so he is already deposed.

5.  Is Trump melting down under the pressure of losing the House or Senate in a week?  He is doing everything he can to avoid this.  His increases in fear, conspiracy plots, frequency of press criticism, coming out as a Nationalist, and 14th Amendment cancellations  could have added urgency and a trigger to people who had been plotting actions all along anyway.

We still have a week of desperation to go.

6.  Trump’s Fox News run White House must have prepared a careful script of October celebrations to capture the daily news.  

  1. They were surprised by the Khashoggi assassination by Trump’s close supporters, the Saudis.  
  2. They were surprised by the week of the #MAGAbomber and the sender’s pro-Trump van.
  3. They were surprised by the week of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre, and the perpetrator’s fear of the invading caravan which Trump touted.
  4. Let’s hope nothing else happens this week.

7.  In the Fourteenth Amendment, I wonder if the phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, means that if you and your family short the US taxes and treasury by $500 million, that you are not obeying the US laws or subject to its jurisdiction, and can have your citizenship taken away.  Once Trump loses his citizenship, he can no longer be our President.

8.  What’s up with Donald Trump Jr. breaking up his marriage to run off publicly with a Fox News personality. Is he trying to show daddy that he also has fallen under the Fox News spell?  Kimberly Guilfoyle was the wife of Gavin Newsom, I just learned.  What is the attraction of Fox News that it can hypnotize these people?

9.  The eventual invisibility of the Honduran Horde.  There are 330 million Americans.  A new estimate is that the marchers in the Caravan have dropped to about 3,300.  If these unarmed refugees are able to “defeat” the US Army, using the asylum laws, what difference will it make?  These Caravaners would make up 1 out of every 100,000 people in the US. How many of us even interact with 100,000 people in a year?  Well, they won’t even raise a fuss, so they will not even be noticed or identifiable.  If they are, they will probably be rebuilding our cities, or doing our gardening, or our housecleaning, or raising our kids.

Normally, we take in a million immigrants a year.  (Under Trump, that is only a half million).  So the Honduran Horde would only make up about 0.3% of a normal year of immigrants.

Many undocumented immigrants came forward to rebuild New Orleans after Katrina.  Now that unemployment is down to 3.7%, where do we find such workers, to rebuild after the 5 extremely destructive hurricanes we have had in just the last two years?

10.  Latest twitter intel has it that the unstoppable Honduran Hordes are led by Attila the Honduran, and have laid a path of waste and destruction throughout Central America, and now Mexico.  Attila crossed the Andes on the never before seen Giant Marina Iguanas of the Galapagos, which can trample anything in their paths.  Or so it would seem Trump believes.
