Dealing With The Deranged Dictator

Donald Trump is not right in the head. We all know this and yet, perhaps, like the emperor’s new clothes, some of us are loath to admit it. Trump’s behaviour toward Zelenskyy is a clear illustration of this. Accusing the victim of Putin’s Russian invasion of his country of being to blame is batshit crazy. Still, people around Trump are enabling his unbalanced behaviour and outlandish statements by normalising it. Dealing with the deranged dictator of America is having a terrible effect upon the whole world. People look to their leaders to provide stability and security – Trump is incapable of providing this.
Trump’s Malfunctioning Prefrontal Cortex
Psychiatrists have diagnosed Donald Trump, albeit from afar, with a malfunctioning prefrontal cortex. His propensity to make contradictory statements and to compulsively lie is very much like a small child whose prefrontal cortex is undeveloped. Trump is in a disinhibited state in comparison to most adult human beings. This has made him popular with many non-college educated Americans, as they wrongly desscribe this behaviour as Trump’s raw honesty about matters. The defect has become a trump card in an America polluted by insincerity and celebrating grossness.
“Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions.”
“Orbitofrontal cortex: The orbitofrontal cortex links your reward center to actions and acts like a filter to determine if those actions are appropriate or not.”
Trump lacks that filter and says whatever pops into his head. World leaders don’t behave like this because it gets lots of people killed if leaders go around saying whatever they feel like. If you want a toddler running the show get ready for a shit show.
The Mad King & His Kleptocracy
Half of Americans, who bother to vote, have adjudged Donald Trump the compulsive liar and convicted felon as fit to be their president. What this says about Americans is there for all to see. They view politics and democracy as an entertaining circus for their enjoyment and f*** the rest of the world. Dealing with the deranged dictator is what we are all left with. A childish president in the White House determined to rule like a king. Gathered around him are white supremacists, corrupt billionaires and oligarchs, Christian nationalists who act like no Christians I have seen, and supporters of a kleptocracy. The Trump bus is full of right wing extremists wanting a ride to the top, so that they can shake down the tree.
Malfunctioning America
Much of what modern America makes of the world comes from watching stuff on TV. A lot of it has been brought to our attention by sick f*** productions. Profoundly uncreative people making a buck by dredging the lowest of the low to shock folks. Content jam packed with guns, violence and degrading behaviour. If an alien sat down and watched a month’s worth of content from a streaming service I am sure he, she or it would be dazed and disappointed. Sinking to the bottom has been the journey most visual entertainment has been on for some time. Trump’s presidency is a reflection of that taste for shit by bottom feeders.
Becoming a champion of bullies and dictators is Trump’s latest move on the world stage. Nihilistic accelerationists would be celebrating the 180 degree turn from backing Ukraine to backing Putin’s Russians. Americans are on board with the bad guys. The sleaze and slime you were watching on Netflix and Amazon Prime you can now watch at the White House. Dealing with the deranged dictator that you all put in power.
