Trumpenstein

Maybe we shouldn't fear a Trump presidency so much.

If you remember back to the primaries, the GOP had nobody capable of winning the nomination in their party but Trump. They had like 17 other options but Trump was the only hope. You couldn't hope to win running a Ted Cruz or a John Kasich against Hillary Clinton or even Bernie Sanders. Neither of them would be thisclose with Hillary as Trump is, at any point in the election. In a year when they were looking to punt, a trick play was their only way to get back in the game and, maybe even win. It could work and, unless it's all media hype to keep it close for their own ratings and bottom-line, it definitely might.

But, what happens if Trump does take the oath in January? It might not be the chaos in the streets one would reasonably expect given the bullshit promises this asshole has made. The presidency is a pretty big deal but, it's not the government that the republicans would have liked you to believe it is, these past 8 years or any time a democrat is in The White House. Government goes on as government does no matter who is in *power*. I figured out long ago that they just don't give the keys to the kingdom to anyone every 4 to 8 years and just hope for the best. That's checks and balances, folks. It's lip service that it's the most powerful job in the world. The powers that be restrain regardless of party affiliation.

Remember though that Frankenstein was the name of the guy who created the monster, not the monster itself.

The GOP created Trump in that they let Trump create himself. He's always been the ridiculous prick you are seeing right now but, without the GOP, he's Gary Johnsonstein. His "self-funded" campaign does not happen if he ran as an independent.

A president Trump would find out real quick that he can't build that wall and he can't deport 11 million people because all that shit is just stupid and there is no money in it or for it. Trump probably knows this already. He doesn't care. It's just shit you say to get elected. The American people pretty much expect that from politicians. I've seen plenty of his fans admit that he can't nor won't build the wall but, they appreciate that he said it in the first place. Same with deporting Muslims and Mexicans. They know he won't really do that either. It's the thought that counts...

A Trump presidency might answer how seriously he takes himself. That could be scary. It's looking like we might have our own Saddam Hussein here. He's got the solid gold toilet to poop in and he's got the ego. He probably fancies himself more in the mold of Vladimir Putin but, he's Saddam. Long before they were elected, the Bush administration planned an invasion of Iraq because they knew that Saddam was an an egotistical prick that they could easily goad into a long, lucrative war. They just needed to get in power and get a reason.

Trump is the same sort of egotistical prick that can be goaded in the same manner. The good news is that we have a government in place that won't allow our leader to be buffaloed like that. Don't worry- we won't be forced into a war because this asshole will be intimidated by Putin or China. They'll likely intimidate him but, not the US government. It's bigger that that dickhead no matter whether he knows it or not.

If Trump wins, he won't make the four years. He's looking at this as a business deal. His mentor Putin is reportedly worth as much as $200 billion and he got that way by seizing and retaining power through any means necessary or unnecessary. But, that's Russia. The banks, the corporations- the real powers that be- won't let that happen here. This scumbag Trump means nothing to them beyond what he can do for them. If he steps out of line, they'll bury him. That's in the literal sense even though they'll first bury him in the political sense. If you are incredulous that Trump is popular despite being a criminal enterprise now, wait until he crosses the real powerbrokers. The media and Donnie Ray in Kentucky may wink at Trump's crimes now but, the Big Boys will smack the wig off his head if he tries to go up against them. And if you don't think that that is a wig and that it is his real hair, it won't be if they say it isn't. He will kneel before them.

For better or worse, this country is bigger than one man, no matter who that one man is- or *thinks* he is. If he wins it will be close. No mandate from the disenfranchised Donnie Ray's of flyover country. The Deplorable-Americans can speak and even be heard but, they're never going to run things. Douchebag Trump stops listening to them the moment he wins. He doesn't care about them any more than he cares about you or I. The same guy that has fucked contractors out of thousands as a matter of business will do the same to citizens, just on a larger scale. Why not? Tell me why he wouldn't. That's the way the fuckhead rolls. But, if he doesn't roll the way they want him to, they will rock his world in a hard way.

So, WHEW!- we might be OK after all. We'll see...
