The Trump Speech As Read By a British Woman

I have to say, this is brilliant. He’s talking a lot about Kemala Harris as well. But the more I think about it is the important conclusions we must draw from it. 

 

Aside from the comments, comedic as they may be, especially read by an older English woman with a middle class accent and a smile, they reveal just how unhinged Donald Trump really is. 

 

But more importantly is that we have a situation where this cretin is in the most important political office on the planet, a position that has the ability to destroy human progress or wreak havoc on humanity. And Trump, like most of them since the disastrous defeat in Vietnam, chooses the latter.  It does make one think deeply about Kennedy’s murder as he was clearly an obstacle to a protracted war in Vietnam. On another note, thinking of the US War on Vietnam, there is an interesting review of David Halbertson’s book,The Best and The Brightest here.

 

But there’s more. The Democrats were forced to eventually tell the truth about their esteemed leader, that he was losing his marbles despite the rest of us victims of a dysfunctional state witnessing it with our own eyes and ears. We watched the press conferences under Biden as lie after lie spewed from various representatives’ mouths. What a carnival. For me, watching Blinken, a war criminal by any measure, was as bad as having to watch or listen to Trump. 

 

So the Democrats lied to the US population until they could no longer do so. Staying in power is far more important than producing positive results for the populace, the lucrative rewards of power are too great to be sacrificed on the alter of truth and decency.

 

But the whole scene has turned in to a cinematic epic as the menagerie of mad scientists, defenders of sex traffickers and, genociders (in common with the previous administration) cover for Trump. They actually praise his speeches like the one covered here. It’s like a Monty Python sketch.

 

The only conclusion we can draw is not that Trump or Biden are examples of bad presidents; the evidence is overwhelming that US capitalism is in a serious political crisis, it is rotting from within. It’s not the only country in which the body politic reflects internal decay in general, but it’s the most important, the guy with the big stick.

 

With a systematic crisis, no political party or individual that doesn’t see the need to change it, that society needs to be restructured, as a young woman at the No Kings protest in my town pointed out, can correct the problem. The system is too far gone and a band aid might slow the bleeding but can’t fix the wound.
