Trump Plays on Images To Drown Debate News

This hate gaze is deliberate. The timing of his surrender was deliberate.

The first thing I’d like to suggest is that everybody read Robert Reich’s excellent article this morning, which you can find here:

Robert Reich
Trump's debate response: The fascist who doesn't want America to think
Friends, I hope you read today’s Common Good essay, which I posted late last night. In the meantime, though, I want to talk about symbols, images, and fascism. Here is Trump’s mugshot from his arraignment yesterday in Georgia. It’s a look of defiance — which I’m sure he practiced repeatedly beforehand — intended for his supporters and his Republican base…

Reich’s article is about, among other things, the completely deliberate manipulation image to stoke outraged feelings—a hallmark functioning of all fascists.

To Reich’s brilliant article, I’ll add just this comment.

"An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes." Well, that's Trump. If he can't have his way about everything—like your average tantrum-throwing, stomping two-year-old brat—he will burn down this country if he can and declare it the greatest, or whine that the smoking, radiating ruins are woke-folk evildoing. Fascism always, always involves a narcissistic leader, and I suspect Trump is a Dark Tetrad, a misanthrope who expresses narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism all at the same time. Franco, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Leopold II, Mussolini, Mao, Ali Khomenei, Salman and a raft of others who have shredded countries, religions, and whole civilizations were/are all Dark Tetrad. Donald Trump is, too. We must get this guy in jail—and we must immediately invoke Article 3 of the 14th Amendment. It's crucial.

BTW, nobody knows who really came up with the quote above--but it wasn't Sun Tsu. The earliest origin of something LIKE it came from James Clavelle.

Meanwhile, please read Reich’s article, and please subscribe to his Substack posts as he is a wonder of vital information in this time.

It is reminiscent of A Hitler showing strength, that never Existed.
