US ELECTIONS ACT 4 : DOWNFALL

After Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won these "horrible" elections, some hoped for some form of courteous healing. The president elect made all the right moves but the loser went in even fuller attack-mode. Washington has been set on fire, a first time by the British, now it might be a second time, by Trump.

Trump's histrionics and travesties of truth, Maduro-like, are just starting. There is worse to come.  In the end, the transmission of power will be disconnected from tradition and dignity. The presidential mantle can no longer be handed over, it lies in the gutter.

Trump has already the mark of Cain on his forehead. His unappealing parcours in his private life and shady business and financial dealings fill book after trashy novel.  In January 2021 the Trump brand will be open to scrutiny, as long as the statutes of limitation don't apply.  In fact, he might be indicted as soon as his immunity no longer covers his "deeds".

This potential common criminal might now also become a war criminal. To deflect, distract, he may indeed consider a crazy, desperate option in some foreign theatre or situation (which he knows nothing about). Such a move would dislodge the bad news from the media and please his mob of Christian lunatics who love to see the Stars and Stripes, where it doesn't belong.

Trump is not hard to understand. He is just hard to control. Like a cornered beast he will be tempted to engage in any move which might save him (and his mafia family) from humiliation. He is totally unable to live up to historical precedent or to moral heights.  Since his murky casino deals, bankrupcy has always been his winning formula. 

He doesn't care if the moves he might consider now may have dire consequences for the president-elect, or for the country. The applause of his base is all that remains, and what became his injured, welted Palme d'Or. 

His downfall is without redemption.
