The Trumpty Dumpty Report
In a time of deceit, telling the truth
is a revolutionary act- George Orwell

Let us not become the evil we despise.
Perception can be more powerful than reality
In her latest book, “
American Oligarchs, The Trumps, And The Marriage of Money and Power” Andrea
Bernstein writes about Donald Trump and Jared Kushner as American oligarchs.
This must be one reason why *RUMP has tried to develop construction project
deals using Azerbaijani oligarchs, as well as Iranian billionaires, who backed
his Trump Tower Baku. In the previous Blogspot piece, *RUMP’s relation with
these wealthy, corrupt oligarchs found a corrupt dolt, who drools at the image
of piles of cash, which required money-laundering, since Iran was under
economic sanctions.
For a cash squeezed
country, the films of Tehran shows a sprawling city with a population around
8-9 million. It appears as a mixed modern city with tall buildings, along with
narrow, old-world side streets. The traffic looked incredibly congested. The
government must be making deals outside the eye of sanctions. And, *RUMP seems
to have been doing the same.
As Bernstein says about
American oligarchs is that when they go unchecked, and don’t face any
accountability, or consequences they push their corrupt potentials to further
limits. This has been the game plan while the moron lives in the White House.
His minion of maniacal morons in the Republican White Nationalist Party have
not made *RUMP accountable for anything. They never challenge him. They fear
any reprisals against them. Actually, they have allowed him to be as dishonest,
corrupt, and dangerous as possible. They don’t question his lack of direction,
purpose, or strategy when making those careless decisions.
Oligarchs in the United
States, such a Bill Koch of the famed “Koch Brothers” moniker, call themselves
Libertarians, but we know they are really Market Leninists buying their way
into every facet of government in order to make the laws and rules so the
American oligarchs can maintain power and control over society. They believe
the people should “pay-as-you-go” for every service, roadway, medical
treatment, schooling, etc., and they only pay, through taxes, for military and
domestic/national defense. They believe the world is there for their
exploitation, control, and domination, while building alliances with other
oligarchs in Russia, China, Europe, Asia, and elsewhere.
Kushner’s grandparents were
Holocaust survivors, escaping a death camp by digging a tunnel under the camp
that led them into the forest where they found other frightened and desperate
Jews hiding in order to avoid recapture and death by Nazis. These forested Jews
were a community needing each other to work together in order to survive. This
should have been a deep and penetrating lesson of compassion, and embracing the
needs of others for the Kushners as they found their way in business in the
United States. Unfortunately, it wasn’t integrated into their lives, especially
when Jared’s father went into business. Jared didn’t integrate the lessons
learned by his grandfather, either. Kushner’s father apparently never learned
from his parents the need to show others compassion, respect and dignity, since
their humanity was stripped by Hitler’s murderous war machine.
Instead, Jared Kushner’s
father, and now Jared, associated with sleazy, and corrupt role models, which
ultimately landed Daddy Kushner in prison. After Jared’s family role model
traded his suit for an orange jumpsuit, Jared took over the family real estate
business only to run it close to the brink of bankruptcy until a Kuwaiti and Saudi royals rode
in on his Arabian stallions to bail him out. Jared has a mediocre mind but a
big, inflated ego. He reminds many of those Brownshirts who marched through the
forests looking for hiding Jews. Just like his father-in-law, Dumb Dumb Donnie,
financially survived on smoke and mirror business arrangements. When you sleep
with wolves, either you get away, or you become one of them. Jared doesn’t have
enough intelligence, creativity, or skills, to get away and prove his abilities
on his own. He has never stood on his own two feet. He was always bailed out by
others. He is very much like Lil’BoyBush who never was able to stand up on his
own two feet and was repeatedly bailed out by others more capable than him. One
has to guess, by marrying Ivanka, another one who could never have succeeded
without the Trump Organization’s dirty money, he decided to join the Trump wolf
pack.
Apparently, oligarchs don’t
need to divest their personal and financial businesses once becoming president.
They use their position to further their influence and power to feed off the public trough, as
well as to tap into the vast wealth of others in order to grow their private
business interests. This is the story of Donald Joker
Trump and Jared Kushy Kushner.
