The Scapegoating of Donald Trump

The world is burning. It's spiraling out of control. And it's all the Orange Man's fault.

You can listen to me read this article here:

One-time or recurring donations can be made at Ko-Fi.

As the world burns, we feel as if we are holding our breath, just waiting for the end.

The end of what? Maybe of everything. Here in the United States, we are on a countdown to the elections on November 5, 2024. A showdown unlike any in history. The closer we get, the more out of control the world becomes.

Escalating Wars

Since Biden took office, America has evacuated 11 embassies around the world, most recently asking Americans to flee the one in Haiti.

Terrorist Attacks.

So far, more than 90 people are dead and 145 injured in a concert hall attack in Moscow as Islamic State group claims responsibility. How much longer before it happens in the United States?

Escalating Disease

Globally, from 1990 to 2019, new cancer cases among younger ages increased sharply by about 79% overall, according to the study published Tuesday in the journal BMJ Oncology.

Clearly, the blame can’t be cast just on Covid, or on the vaccines, whichever one you choose to believe is the culprit. It’s everything from plastics in our blood to cell phone radiation. And now, as if to drive the point home, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has revealed that she has cancer.

As I recently wrote about, Cancer is going to explode over the next few years. So says Pfizer CEO, Albert Bourla, rubbing his hands together in glee, just thinking of all the profits:

"1 in 3 people in the world are going to have cancer."

A Government Out of Control.

Last Saturday, President Joe Biden signed a $460 billion package of spending bills. The United States is already in over $30 trillion of debt. You can watch the numbers increase by the second here.

Debt as a percentage of the U.S. gross domestic product is at its highest level since the end of World War II. The debt then was $269.4 billion, or $3.5 trillion in today’s dollars.

$3.5 trillion as opposed to $30 trillion. The government bleeds us dry, spends it without our consent and without oversight (where did all that money go in Ukraine?), and then points the finger at the spending habits of its chief rival, Donald Trump, to take the focus off its own crimes.

So, what did Trump do that deserved this latest, most insane punishment?

To put it simply, Trump borrowed some money from some banks and paid it back. For that “crime”, Judge Arthur Engoron has ruled that Trump must pay the staggering sum of $464 million or face his assets being seized on Monday.

Okay, so he inflated his worth, so the government claims. But he paid back the loan. The banks said so. Nobody complained. Everyone went away happy.

The Orange Man Bad broke the law, you say. He deserves to be ruined and go to prison because “nobody is above the law”.

Since nobody’s above the law, how about the rest of us?

“Whosoever is without sin, cast the first stone.”

I guess no one has ever inflated their income in order to get approved for a credit card.

You know those forms you have to fill out and say how much money you make in a year? If anyone ever lied about that, the government should prosecute them, right? Seize their assets. Maybe put them in jail. How many people do you suppose would be in jail right now?

Let’s say you want to buy a house and you promise you have the money to pay back a loan. Except, at that moment, you really don’t.

But then, when it comes time to pay back the loan, you have the money, and everything’s fine. If Trump should be held accountable, then you should, too. You shouldn’t mind the government seizing your house for “conspiring to alter your net worth”.

I’m quite sure no small business owner has ever, under any circumstances, boasted that their product was “the biggest”, “the best”, or “the tastiest”.

That would be lying. Maybe somebody sells cupcakes, for example, and markets them as “the tastiest in the world”. Don’t ever lie like that, you could have your company seized.

Does it work the other way around? Let’s say everyone who has their money in Bank of America decides to take it out tomorrow.

Do you think the bank has all that money just sitting around? Of course not. But BofA is a big bank, for goodness’ sake. And we all know big banks are “too big to fail”.

The government made sure they didn’t fail, thanks to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, also known as the "bank bailout" or the "Wall Street bailout". I guess the banks were bailed out because they were honest and deserved a good turn.

It’s only Donald Trump who’s dishonest. Except that most businesses do this, and nobody bats an eye.

Here are the properties NY Attorney General Letitia James is just itching to get her hands on:

• Trump Park Avenue, New York, N.Y.

• Trump Tower, New York, N.Y.

• 40 Wall Street, New York, N.Y.

• Seven Springs, Westchester County, N.Y.

• Trump International Hotel and Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada

• Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida

• Trump National Golf Club Westchester, Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.

• Trump National Golf Club Charlotte, Mooresville, North Carolina

• Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck, Colts Neck, New Jersey

• Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., Sterling, Virginia

• Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley, Hopewell Junction, N.Y.

• Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, Jupiter, Florida

• Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles, Rancho Palos Verdes, California

• Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia, Pine Hill, New Jersey

• Trump International Golf Links Scotland (Aberdeen)

• Trump International Golf Links Scotland (Turnberry)

In response, Trump said, "Judge Engoron actually wants me to put up Hundreds of Millions of Dollars for the Right to Appeal his ridiculous decision. In other words, he is trying to take my Appellate Rights away from me. I would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone.”

I don’t care if you hate Trump or love him. That is irrelevant. Don’t people get it? Every single American should be disgusted by this. And worried. Because once this starts, where does it end.

Back in June of 2020, I wrote They're Not After Me, They're After You, a quote from Trump’s own words, said in December 2019, on the day the House Democrats voted to impeach him. Most people, if they paid any attention at all, danced for joy at the vote. Get him! Tar and feather the guy. Drag him through the streets. Let us see his misery, throw some tomatoes.

Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States, is the Scapegoat. And the more violent and chaotic the world gets; the more hatred will be stirred up against him.

New York is proudly doing all it can to destroy Trump. And destroying itself in the process.

I’m in New York at the moment, for a few months. The other day, I walked by Trump Tower where police cars line the front of the building. But not just there. The entire city is under siege. I remember New York when it was buzzing with a fabulous, one-of-a-kind energy.

“If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere!”

That was before Covid. Before the world started falling apart. Before the scapegoating of Donald Trump.

So many suicidal decisions. Back in 2020, New York decided to defund the police…

Now, thanks to a terrifying spike in crime, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has called in the National Guard and Police Troopers. They are everywhere and they are armed to the teeth.

Between 2020 and 2023, 158 companies that manage $1 trillion in assets moved their headquarters out of New York.

With this recent intensifying persecution of Trump, more companies are leaving.

Real estate mogul Grant Cardone announced on Tuesday that his firm Cardone Capital would no longer underwrite New York real estate, one day after Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary vowed to no longer invest in the state as a result of the verdict.

“Immediately discontinue ALL underwriting on New York City real estate,” Cardone ordered his firm in a post on X. “The risks outweigh the opportunities at this time. Recent political decisions will continue to deteriorate price and benefit states that don’t have these challenges. Focus on Texas & Florida.”

On Monday, if Trump can’t come up with the $464 million judgment, the government could start seizing his assets.

And then, when all seemed lost, can you believe it, Trump's Truth Social company has just announced a merger that could net him over $3 billion.

Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corporation -- a special purpose acquisition company -- approved a merger with Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social.

Talk about the eleventh hour.

The Biden administration is determined to do whatever it takes to keep Trump off the ballot and out of the White House. The hatred, the unrest must escalate. If they can’t bankrupt him and put him in prison to rot, what will they try next?

The world can burn to the ground as long as Trump doesn’t win.
