What Kind of President Mucks People from Above?

The question we must all address is:

What kind of president of the United States would create and post an AI-generated video of himself wearing an imperial crown and dumping massive amounts of feces from a “King Trump” jet onto No Kings protesters marching below?

It takes a president who has no respect for his constituents, those who voted for him and those who did not.

It takes a president who has no respect for the Constitution, especially the First Amendment that guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom to redress grievances.

It takes a president who literally and figuratively believes he is above We The People and above the law.

It takes a president who has absolutely no moral compass.

Quite frankly, it takes a president who has something terribly wrong in the head!

Donald Trump’s latest video dump functions as a metaphor for the ways he treats the people of not only the United States, but also people of countries around the world. He shits on people when:

  • He removes the human right to quality healthcare to those in need thereby placing them at increased risk for severe injury and disease with a greatly reduced quality of life and an early death. This also includes ending subsidized health insurance, closing scientific research and research grants, circulating false scientific theories, and recommending crank health cures.
  • He removes the human right to nutritious food by eliminating food programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for low-income individuals and families, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) for pregnant women and young children, and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) for seniors. And when he goes after programs providing reduced or free services including the National School Lunch Program, Summer Food Service Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program, which provides food assistance to children through schools and care facilities.
  • He removes funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which helped the poorest countries around the world on issues of education, global health, nutrition, environmental protection, and democratic governance.
  • He promotes the increasing militarization of U.S. cities, when his I.C.E. masked goon squads racially profile, arrest, and deport anyone suspected of entering the U.S. without documentation, and when his Department of “Justice” targets those who oppose the administration’s agenda and actions by imposing contrived criminal charges for the purpose of silencing all criticism.
  • He controls media outlets, law firms, and institutions of higher education by dictating what can be said, who qualifies as deserving legal representation, what can be discussed and how it must be taught, and which institutions deserve financial grants to conduct research to be determined and controlled by the government.
  • He attempts to end “birthright citizenship,” which goes against the U.S. Constitution’s right to citizenship status for anyone born in the United States or in any of its territories including U.S. military bases internationally.
  • He ends the concept of “free trade” with trading partners around the world by imposing large and often unreasonable tariffs on foreign goods.
  • He publicly humiliates international leaders inside and outside the White House when they disagree with his dictatorial mandates.
  • He “drills baby drills” by continuing and increasing U.S. dependence on fossil fuels, reducing or eliminating research and funding for renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric, which will increase the already alarming global climate change rate thus placing all living things at increased risk for extermination.
  • He dismantles federal agencies and shrinks the government by firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers thereby reducing governmental serves including the needed safety net programs for vulnerable people. This entails replacing civil service employees with presidential appointees and by placing federal agencies under direct presidential control.
  • He expands and consolidates executive power in line with the “unitary executive theory,” which distorts the so-called “balance of powers” between the legislative, executive, and judicial branch toward the creation from a democratic republican system of government to an autocracy.
  • He suppresses voting rights and free and fair elections through massive gerrymandering of districts throughout the United States, infusing enormous amounts of funding into administration-supported political candidates, unfair propaganda campaigns against candidates opposing his administration, controlling secretaries of state who determine election results, and other unfair practices.
  • He ends Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government, private businesses, and in the public schools. And when he bans books, courses, and other curricular materials related under the umbrella of “multiculturalism.”
  • He opposes LGBTQ+ rights and legal protections, and especially when he villainizes transgender people and so-called “gender theory,” preventing trans athletes from competing in women’s sports, ends gender affirming transition medical procedures, bans LGBTQ+ related books, courses, and other curricular materials, vows to terminate marriage equality for same-sex couples, and attempts to outlaws foster care and child adoptions by LGBTQ+ individuals or couples.
  • He eliminates women’s healthcare clinics, eliminates all legal abortions and access to abortion medications, and works to criminalize healthcare workers who perform abortions even when the mother’s life is in jeopardy, and defunds stem cell research.
  • He officially or unofficially declares the United States of America as a patriarchal heteronationist Christian supremacist nation.

For anyone who states that, “I never do politics,” you must understand that politics always does you.

If you have not already been dumped upon by this aerial crapper, your full-body mucking is coming soon on the horizon.
