When leaders and people around the world see the United States led by our narcissistic doddering buffoon; our nation appears weak and penetrable. Trump has placed department heads contrary to virtually all government agencies: such as anti-vaccine plastic face Robert Kennedy Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services, change my color cheerleader of the January 6 insurrectionists Kash Patel to lead the FBI, plus carving out a special position for his favorite pouting racist Elon Musk to spearhead DOGE--the contrived Department of Government Efficiency. Writing this paragraph reminds me of a video from MSNBC of Adam Schiff skewering Kash Patel during the confirmation hearings. Mr. Adam Shiff was on fire!
The United States has international enemies, enemies in addition to the white nationalists and various militias which have spawn the likes of Timothy McVeigh. Russia's Vladimir Putin is pleased as punch over the election of Donald Trump as president, and we well know Russia facilitated covert operations to help him win the presidency in 2016, and likely 2024. Putin can barely contain the gleeful expressions on his face whenever you see him and Trump together. It as if he has found the American doofus of his dreams, for Putin harbors a deep hatred for the United States. To call Putin treacherous, is characterizing him too mildly.
With our brainless figurehead Trump at the helm, and Kash Patel leading the FBI, a striking invitation has been extended to outside forces to "hit" the United States. I fully expected ISIS to make a move, particularly after Trump's announcement to buy Gaza and relocate all the Palestinians to neighboring areas, some of which do not want such refugees! Egypt has been adamant about refusing refuges from day one of the war. The chaos the isolationist Trump regime is creating is a greenlight to plot and plan attacks against our country. He is a blundering clown to not only Americans, but to others around the world. The displacement of Palestinians is not going to sit well with the East--certainly not the Palestinians.
Trump and his Republican allies are a threat to black people (plus others) and our democracy. Hate groups abound, and we can fully expect to see a rise in hate crimes. Racial hostility exhibited towards people of color has now become acceptable behavior, protected often under the guise of "free speech" often touted by Elon Musk on X and other white supremacists. Yet, it is still illegal to harass and threaten people, no matter what color one's skin may be. I absolutely detest racism of any kind.
Trump with all his bravado and misogynistic tones perceives himself to be a tough and fearless leader. But China, Russia, Iran, view him quite differently and as an open door to possibly execute their nefarious agendas. Instead of having national security, we now have national insecurity. Weapons are not the only mode of attack. Computer systems, power grids, and disabling communications can provide terrorists with different modes of attack besides the evil we seen on September 11. There is no telling what awaits us.
