Trump’s Descent Into Madness and Congress
What we are living through has a Shakespearean tone to it. Specifically I am talking of King Lear. In the end, the king goes mad. And like the king, Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged which is to say something, because none of this administration has been anywhere close to normal. However, this is not just limited to the presidency any longer. We are talking of Congress as well.
Where is the House? I know there is a pandemic, but they should be very publically demanding the information about an internal terrorist threat to the country. I suspect, because the FBI has failed to find it, that Antifa is code for Trump’s insecurity. But the House should be holding hearings right now, with the FBI Director, demanding what the hell is going on?
In the meantime, we have a president who keeps signaling to his followers about far left threats to the country, including the dreaded Antifa, which is not that well organized. Antifa was one of the groups that tried, not successfully, to prevent the rise of Adolph Hitler. Why Antifa? Well, when you declare a mostly non-existent organization, in any standard way, a threat, it’s easy to keep the illusion going. You are never going to catch a ghost. So you keep mentioning the ghost, and blaming the ghost for the problems.
