In this blog, I should like to propose a different strategy for eradicating the blight on the United States that is called Donald Trump and his administration. It’s disappearance will inevitably happen at some point anyway but, for the sake of the country and the vast majority of the population, we need ideas to speed-up that process. There are several reasons why speed is of the essence. These include: the real possibility that he will try and eliminate the upcoming midterm elections for Congress; his continuing attacks on the U.S. Constitution or, rather, his continual ignoring of it; his elimination of any sort of impediment to his actions; his level of arrogance that believes he is President/dictator of the world; and, worst of all, the single-minded and exclusive motivation of all of his actions that he can use his position for persecution of his opponents, his own self-aggrandizement and his own financial profit – I am beginning to believe that one of his original motivations, that of staying out of jail, has diminished as his ego has grown and, along with it, his belief that he is untouchable.
U.S. Presidents, over the years of the country’s existence, have probably exhibited most of the foibles of human behavior, but almost all have had a modicum of concern for the people of the United States and the country. Trump appears to have none whatsoever. Every action is about him, and only him. It will only get worse and worse, until he is stopped.
The only viable opposition, at the moment, is the Democratic Party, and they give every indication of being lost and disorganized, to put it mildly. There are a few glimmers of hope, here and there, but any sort of strategy or momentum to stand up to Trump seems to be almost criminally absent. Most of the Democratic efforts, if you can call them that, seem to be directed at waiting until the 2026 midterm elections, and hoping the country will turn back to them. If Trump decides to eliminate those elections, and I full believe he will if he feels he can’t rig them successfully, that “wait and hope” strategy is null and void.
My suggestion for a different strategy is to encourage his behavior, by making him pursue more and more outrageous decisions. That will, hopefully, result in the general population rising up against his authoritarian pathway to full dictatorship. I fully realize that “hope” is a stupid sentiment where politics is concerned, but it is all we have at present, and the current strategies are obviously not working.
Trump’s one massive vulnerability is his ego, which is obviously very fragile. “A different strategy” uses that vulnerability to push him into ever more outrageous decisions. Derision and ridicule work very successfully against fragile egos and can push them in a way no other strategy can. The bottom line is that the only group, in my opinion, that can stop Trump is the people. Current leadership has definitively demonstrated that they do not have the integrity, or backbone, to stand up to him. The history of the United States suggests that the people, eventually, will rise up – they have done so several times before, when circumstances have pushed them hard enough. We just have to encourage them to do so sooner rather than later, and derision/ridicule, designed to incite more outrageous actions on his part, could well be the way of promoting that.
Trump has already started work to create his own police force in the cities – I could suggest that this means he knows the backlash to his actions will come eventually come, and he is preparing for that. Unfortunately, that could well result in civil war, but what is the alternative? The cities will be the focus, not the countryside.
One might expect the U.S. Military to intervene, since they swear their oath to the U.S. Constitution not the President, but Trump, or far more likely his handlers from Project 2025, have anticipated that by gutting the military of many officers who might be expected to fulfill that role. We cannot bank on the military entering the White House and frog-marching Trump out and into exile – maybe on Epstein’s private Island – no one else would have him, not even Putin. However, if the military can do that in Caracas as efficiently as they did, doing it in Washington D.C. should be a piece of cake!
This different strategy would change the game and, since Trump’s ego is probably the one thing that his handlers cannot control, it could work. “Could” is a dangerous word, since it implies uncertainty, but democracy and the future of the United States are definitely at risk here. America has always had the courage to take risks – indeed it was founded on that basis, and millions of immigrants, the majority of the U.S. population, took a huge risk when they came to the country. It’s time to take the risk of saving the dream of the founding fathers.
