Martyn Jones, A Coruña, Span, 26th January 2025.         

Let’s be clear, precise and honest about the world and where we all stand in it, starting with the reminder that the USA has become the world’s number one political basket case. But let’s be straight about this phenomenon. It didn’t just happen when Trump was made President. “Made?” you may ask? Yes, ‘made’, just like the management of the mob, Trump was ‘made’ President.

And there are all these pundits, scribblers and the occasional professional journalist trying to fathom out Trump’s team selection, policies and priorities. What a complete and utter waste of time. Why try and analyse this as if these were sane, morally sound, and balanced people capable of having reasonable, rational, and responsible thoughts and actions? Chris Rock had the proper response for such occasions; “Whatever happened to crazy? What, you can’t be crazy no more? Should we eliminate crazy from the dictionary?”

That’s right, Trump and his big tent clown show players are more than just crazy. They are “highly dangerous and exceptionally motivated serial high school massacre” crazy. They are “let’s trash the UN Charter, the war on Climate Change, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Christian values and principles, what remains of the Rules-Based International Order, the EU, NATO and the WTO” crazy, they are “let’s blow the world to frigging pieces and everyone in it” crazy. It’s like a megalomanic psychopath’s grotesque enactment of the fucking rapture.

But it doesn’t start and stop there. Let me be very clear about this. I will treat all crazy with the same deference, that is, with no positive deference at all. When it comes to MAGA-crazy or mega-crazy, this is a level playing field where everyone can participate.

And, if there is anything more crazy than moronic, broke-arse and ignorant Trump supporters, it has to be that superclass of idiot who pines for a return to the presidency of those fun-loving Zionist fluffers “Genocide Joe” and “Killer Kamala.”

I know that it beggars belief, but when with a population of over 300 million, the best that the USA has been capable of coming up with has been the likes of Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden. I mean, if they were all particularly questionable Martians sent from Mars, who would notice? Maybe that’s why eNoddy the Battery Boy pines for his home planet? It can’t be easy to be associated with the Tesla Sieg Heil, the Swasticar and the Fuhrer’s Martian SpaceSex programme, to say nothing of the Emperor’s New AI Circus that will rip off USA taxpayers on military-industrial complex rip-off levels.

And here is another piece of advice: When you read about massive investments in AI, think about “black tulips.” Also, when you hear about man-children getting extremely wealthy in unexplainable ways, think sub-prime, Madoff and Ponzi.

But don’t worry, eNoddy might be antisemitic and racist and a sucker for the old Roman salute, beloved of Nazis everywhere, but he’s Agent Orange’s first buddy. Right? The South African has energised the most significant global social media platform (aka the world’s biggest hate speech stage) in support of getting his political machinations adopted by populists, opportunists and scoundrels and put into action. The trouble is, the political machinations of freaks never result in sound political policies, and their side effects go from mainly negative to massively detrimental and socially divisive aberrations. People may be competent enough to front dodgy businesses with dubious financial and operating models, but that doesn’t qualify them as people who can be trusted with political power.

Politically speaking, the USA is, to all intents and purposes, a one-party and two-faction state. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a problem as long as they represent two clearly distinct options of governance and neither faction is permanently controlled by a unique tendency. The fact is that this isn’t happening, and the democratic party is even more of a governing clique than even the republican party is. This polarisation, lack of a healthy democracy, and political violence have been massively detrimental to US politics and how people engage with or ignore the facts, the reasons, and even the fundamental ethics of politics and the reality or fiction of political challenges. Yes, many Democrats and Republicans seem to live in a simplistic, contradictory and bogus make-believe world, and they respect these beliefs far more than they do any traditional religion or value system.

But, let’s get back on track and be clear about this, a significant danger to efforts to try and secure global peace and justice is no longer Biden and Harris, but Trump and Vance. Let’s make sure we keep our eyes on what is essential, although we should also be able to deal with the sins and crimes of the past as well.

So, where am I heading with this rant? It’s not so tricky to work out, and this is not rocket-surgery or brain-engineering. As curious as it seems, this is not a well-scripted, zany, and very drole swan song by the great Mel Brooks. And, believe me, I wish it was just that and nothing more.

Politically, the USA has well and truly crossed over into the twilight zone and has become the world’s leading basket case.

Trump clearly has become the parody of a leader of a mega-MAGA freak show. He surrounds himself with people who are ogres, mutants and psychopaths. His policies are crazy, destructive and monstrous, and his yes-monsters stroke his humungous ego. Seen this way, the Trump administration is fast becoming the Cirque du Soleil of rampant irresponsibility, reactionary and shallow thinking, and everything one shouldn’t do when holding political power.

He has created a government of bullies, rogues and freaks. They are the worst! Trump has done more than anyone else to turn the USA into a carat gold basket case.

I’m not worried about China, Brazil, South Africa, India, Mexico or even Russia. No, there are far more dangerous, ignorant and irresponsible countries and leaders around.

So, simply stated, the future is in our hands, and we need to stop the basket case from getting out of hand.

Now is the time for all good people to stop Trump before the nihilist bastard and his freaks lead us all to destruction.
