I have tired of answering, correcting, responding, re-posting on dumb Donald Trump, today a convicted felon with two serious national security-related trials ahead of him–one for election interference, the other for classified documents abuse–and then there’s the case in Georgia where he tried to fix election results by applying muscle or intimidating someone he thought would do that for him.

In Plain Text

I’ve maintained plain text drafts of my X-pressions.

-Disinformation
-Disingenuous and Fallacious Arguments
-Fabrications & False Framing
-Sins of Omission

In theory (!) — in empiricism and in relation to reason itself, all knowledge must be fallible but not easily dislodged — the process that starts with “Narcissistic Mortification” leads to covering (denying, disowning, forgetting) that trauma, deciding that it’s not going to happen again, and inventing (“Splitting”) an undamaged and unassailable courageous-heroic image that may then be asserted and defended through various methods. The lying covers something awful (have some empathy) but also creates something horrible, i.e., a monstrously malignant personality, and one that exceeds the boundaries of high self-esteem and a healthy strut. 🙂 Signal–this both informed and intuitive: delusional, grandiose, messianic ideation absent of normal boundaries and limits, i.e., the parameters of normal conscience.

The lies and sophistry not only defend the projected courageous-heroic image of the person but become part of the machinery of the theater around that person. Blind loyalty–but loyalty!–and sycophancy become more prized than character, expertise, humanity, integrity, etc., or, one might suggest, that which comprises the goodness of the good.

Trump Delusional

This much must be understood about Donald Trump: he may actually believe his own bullshit.

Within the framework of the Malignant Narcissistic Process, the necessity of lying and the related greater manipulation of others becomes clear: the malignant narcissist lies to cover over emotional damage and put in its place an undamaged and unassailable heroic self. The suspect felon in the courtroom may well believe in concert with his own invention that the proceedings are fake, politically motivated, and fixed–and he, so brave and glorious, should be out campaigning for the next Presidency of the United States of America. Now bent, delusional, and twisted, Donald John Trump, four-time indicted felony suspect, may know where he is physically and resent the power detaining him, holding him in trial, but he has no apprehension as to what he has done before the law, to others, and to his own life.

America has no king and doesn’t want one.

The foremost notable argument against having a king has come to us from Thomas Paine in his pamphlet Common Sense (1775-6). Says Wikipedia, “Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine collected various moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776,[2] at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.”

All may read today online the foundational expressions of America’s assumptions, ethics, principles, and values: Declaration of Independence; 1789 Constitution and Amendments; etc.

Put Yourself (Briefly, Please) in Trump’s Mind

Put yourself in Trump’s mind-https://conflict-backchannels.com/2022/07/10/malignant-narcissistic-process-distilled/. Most of your life has been spent in the shadow of a traumatic “narcissistic mortification” that you do not wish to experience ever again–and you determine you never will. First, you forget about it, pack it away, didn’t happen; then, you come out swinging, a good guy, unassailable, courageous, heroic–and to prove it, you will roll the dice! 🙂 (awful cliche). Your realpolitik is pretty tough–nasty environment–but your image is gold and you are in with all of the in-crowds! You brag up a storm; snow the bankers; charm and screw the subcontractors. The better part of human nature and prudence takes its course and you need cash, a lot of it, and it turns out you have been noticed all along, boychik.

Lucky you!

You have a “roof” and a dragon (unlimited “resources” long before “Game of Thrones”) and plenty of “narcissistic supply”. Whether or not you can pay the freight or stay out of trouble, the high is like no other–Y-O-U! own the world!

The Dragon wants to get you to take the both of you a little higher and, well, you are an executive and the very image of American gold-leafed success–just one more step.

How hard could it be?

We should know more about the lives–and demons–associated with healthy leaders, but the evil get our attention and we have powerful concept, methods, and tools for getting “behind the curtains” and finding what the malignant narcissist has tried to cover as well as avoid all of his life, i.e., his humiliation before authority.

So Trump sits in court, a “stable genius”–a horse’s ass for countless others–found out and subject to the control of power more powerful–also more possessed of integrity–than himself.

I think he knows he has been played for criminal political power–call it the #MoscowSystem for #PiratesMurderersAndThieves–and not only will millions of others not look at him as they once had but he may not look at himself as he once had. So he yawns in court. He’ll make noises about a “rigged game”, but he’s delusional, and it’s not–and the #AmericanPublic in vast majority knows that that, finally, is the truth.

Dive in.

For disappointed Trump Republicans, consider a reset on your own methods of discerning truth or your own motivations for accepting baseless and outrageous accusations and claims–and come to some understanding about Malignant Narcissism and related criminal and politically criminal psychology.

For United States Military and Police: be true to your oath as well as quintessential American ethics, principles, traditions, and values: America’s Founding Fathers produce by 1789 a remarkable guidance for a secular democratic republic, truly one nation with justice and liberty for all. Never forget for one minute that you are the defense and security for the most advanced and greatest complex integrated and essentially classically humanist political system on the planet (well, France might be healthier at the moment–but we’ll show them how it’s done). 🙂

Good American citizens fight for the same things but play each to their own abilities and strengths.

Medvedev: Muscovy Clown and Kremlinal

In a recent Tweet, the high and not so mighty Dmitry Medvedev, chair of the Security Council of Russia, referred to Ukrainian President Zelensky as a “provincial clown”. After so many years of accumulating material about Russia, I had quite a bit to pack into one riposte–>

Provincial clown?

Look in the mirror.

For , this has been ’s work in its support of dictatorship-https://conflict-backchannels.com/2018/02/24/war-east-west-abomination-syria-bombing-hospitals/ -of the lust for the wealth of others and the power to steal it: #StormInMoscow-https://conflict-backchannels.com/2023/05/03/reference-journalist-alexander-zhilin-operation-storm-in-moscow-aka-moscow-apartment-bombings/ (you bombed in the dead of night as part of an obscene political theater) and here you will destroy what doesn’t shoot back: https://youtu.be/a245RkGUXfk; https://youtu.be/c1xFSCDy8Jo; https://youtu.be/q2nfuIP2tU0; https://youtu.be/8_XCe86resg. Your #JewHate traces back to about here: https://conflict-backchannels.com/2021/02/01/ftac-endemic-russian-anti-semitism-a-note/ -and your own #RussianNazism does too. Regarding ’s sideshow: you know of #WhiteRussianLoyalist #MaxErwinVonScheubnerRichter-https://conflict-backchannels.com/2017/12/29/ftac-middle-east-conflict-back-to-max-erwin-von-scheubner-richter-and-forward-to-the-plundering-of-palestinian-misery-by-palestinian-leadership-elites/.

In the end, the darkness you believe surrounds you–that paranoia–is your own and fixed by a reliably delusional, grandiose, messianic, and malign narcissism that has no other purpose than the want of adoration (narcissistic supply).

X-Pression: Trump’s Ignoble Republican ‘New Nobility’

Hash for Shameful Traitorous Republicans

– Americans In Name Only.
#TAKs – Trump’s Ass Kissers.

Latent Political Impact

Adult responsible Democrats and Republicans, critically thinking, reasoning, and reasonable in the constructing and fine tuning of good public policy, appear slow to comprehend how deep the attack on America’s way of life, domestic tranquility, and defense and moral strength among nations has gone. In fact, a portion of today’s GOP has traded its conservative Constitutional moorings for a reactionary feudal-medieval position in time and is fast floating away from the desires, hopes, and ideals of ordinary Americans who would not allow themselves to be dumb.

For Republicans, where are “the adults in the room”?

Where is the push-back from conservatives who should be mad as hell as regards the selfish and piratical theft of their democracy?

#FeloniousTrump #4FelonyCases91Counts well may be called #AmericanTraitorTrump–and no conservative Republican dares call him out to his face.

We have seen the brazen and greedy–where are the brave and free among the much less visible virtuous?

A Note on Nobility and Virtue

In Putin’s world, the fire sale of state assets into the pockets of former Communist Party nomenklatura had been set up by the mid-1980s as insurance and precaution against the possibility of bankrupting the state (hunt around in Karen Dawisha’s work for the scholarship). “A New Nobility” appears intended for the KGB/FSB and associated oligarchy that would become wealthy enough to live as it pleased without concerns for the development of Russia and its people. Private estates built on private wealth and power would become as unassailable as those who owned them. Putin would return Russia to feudal-medieval barbarism and the patrimonial authoritarianism in which the test of sovereignty and dominion would be the ability to destroy persons and property as alike and at will and with impunity.

For the west, that world awaits only inaction or passive and tacit popular American approval at the polls.

Anyone who is not constrained may wield power with a hammer and the fear of it, but in the better liberal democracies of the world, all hew to the ideals, laws, and principles of democratic order by constitution and by legal code, centuries of it and fine tuned by conflict, reason, and struggle for the greater good.

Whatever “the nobility”–who would themselves represent law in each their respective domains–may think of themselves, there are those around them–or placed beneath them–who judge quietly, perhaps sullenly, but with determination to set right the wrongs of merely vulgar power. The dimensions that matter: awareness and comprehension; compassion and empathy; good conscience and intents; courage and fortitude; goodness in spirit; good grooming and manners; inherent grace, justice, and magnanimity.

Hey, Suzie Qz: Perfect “X”–>New Consideration for the Peace of Westphalia

Suzie Qz posted this on X today as appropriate to Trump’s #RevoltingGOP and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s role in the reactionary subversion of America’s guiding principles and values:

The response that came to me yielded two additional:

If you would be passionate about the survival of American democracy, be at least curious about the Thirty Years War and the Peace of Westphalia that served to end it while also revolutionizing European diplomacy, redefining the assumptive principles of sovereignty, and forever modifying relationships between powers and the management of their affairs beneath an umbrella greater than themselves. This one treaty would then set a part of the stage for America’s own revolutionary departure from the power known to kings.

Before the Westphalia settlement, there was no recognizable diplomatic profession. Spies, irregular envoys, and heralds citing scripture or handing out ringing declamations were the usual route that princes chose to alert one another to the start of war. After Westphalia, the diplomatic craft was practiced by a kind of well-born guild, with members who were adept at melding reason, precedent, and law with quiet allusion to the implication of armed compunction.
