   From what we know about Donald Trumps’s upbringing, it seems he did endure the kind of verbal abuse replicated in this ad. And from what we know about trauma, it is likely that replaying his abuse will only make Donald Trump more dysfunctional. I don’t think that outcome is a worthy aim, given Trump’s influence over the Republican Party and his base. I support much of what the Lincoln Project does, but in this case I will have to pass.

     I appreciate your point of view but anyone who enters politics has to expect and put up with a level of acrimony, outrage and personal attacks on a biblical scale. Every aspect of your being is scrutinized and subject to attack by a skilled and adept gang of scientifically bred hyenas.

       The Rethuglicans practically waterboarded anyone who had ever been in the same room with one of the Clintons. But that is whataboutism.

       If anyone ever deserved the worst, it’s Donald the Wurst.

       Yes, Donald deserves all the verbal abuse he’s receiving (and then some) because he’s been dishing out verbal abuse his whole adult life. It’s called Karma or things of that nature.

       Some say that Karma’s a b_______. I say that she is just fair.

   The Loneliness of the Teflon Trumpkin, Film Excerpt

   INT. OVAL OFFICE – DAY

   Trump sitting behind the Resolute Desk. Camera back to reveal Rod Serling standing D.R.

   SERLING

   His name, Mr. Little. A man with little education, little taste, little knowledge, little concern for other people. Neglected as a child, he grew into a black hole of neediness. And so he used Daddy’s money to build big, erected his name in Midas-gold letters across the landscape–his every action screaming, “I am worth something.” Everything became a zero-sum game. If someone else failed or was worse off, he was better, a “winner,” and so he cheated and harassed and ridiculed the unfortunate, the stranger, the down and out; appealed to the basest instincts of the basest among us; huffed and puffed and blew himself to gigantic proportions, at least in his own little brain. A twisted, malignant, metastasizing tumor of need and narcissism and knee-jerk nastiness, Mr. Little doesn’t know much, but the biggest thing he doesn’t know is that he just stepped over into a place where everything is bigger than he is, where everything is just beyond the grasp of his little mind and his little hands. He just stepped over into . . . The Twilight Zone.

     Bob and Joe, My comments have nothing to do with wishing well for Trump. I loathe the man. My point, if you read my message carefully, is that retraumatizing a dangerous person makes them more dangerous — sort of like antagonizing a rabid dog. It is not good for US. Who cares about him!

   @Diane – I hope you are doing well. I didn’t know where to share this and you may have seen it, but President Biden does well for “his age.” I thought his concepts/ideas/knowledge were clear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxuN3i84FNY

   All AI generated deep fakes should have to come with a disclaimer like this one. People should have the right to know what is fact and what is fabrication when real images of people are used. I’d like to believe Fred Trump would have said those things about his errant son, but I doubt it. Don the con is a chip off the old block. Woody Guthrie said it best in his song about red lining in real estate.

   “Old Man Trump knows
   Just how much
   Racial Hate
   he stirred up
   In the bloodpot of human hearts
   When he drawed
   That color line
   Here at his
   Eighteen hundred family project” ….

       And to think it was just science fiction…”His face was cold. His mouth trembled, asking: “Who ­ who won the presidential election yesterday?”
       The man behind the desk laughed. “You joking? You know very well. Deutscher, of course! Who
       else? Not that fool weakling Keith. We got an iron man now, a man with guts!” The official stopped. “What’s wrong?”
       Eckels moaned. He dropped to his knees. He scrabbled at the golden butterfly with shaking fingers. “Can’t we,” he pleaded to the world, to himself, to the officials, to the Machine, “can’t we take it back, can’t we make it alive again? Can’t we start over? Can’t we­”
       He did not move. Eyes shut, he waited, shivering. He heard Travis breathe loud in the room; he heard Travis shift his rifle, click the safety catch, and raise the weapon.
       There was a sound of thunder.”

   To Donald (with apologies to EBB)

   How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
   I loathe thee to the depth and breadth and height
   My soul can reach. I cannot stand the sight
   Of thee. Disdain thou makest me embrace.
   I loathe thee to the level of every day’s
   Most fervent rage, by sun and monitor light.
   I loathe thy morals, thy contempt for every right.
   I loathe thy vanity, seeking constant praise.
   I loathe thee with the passion one might choose
   To heap on vandals, and with my childhood’s faith
   That decency, under thy boot, we shall not lose.
   So may we curse thee with every waking breath
   Thy objectification of all, thy conman’s ruse,
   Thy instincts not of a man but a wasp on Meth.
