A EULOGY FOR DONALD J. TRUMP, THE WORST PERSON WHO HAS EVER DRAWN BREATH

There are villains, and then there are monsters, and then there are creatures so cosmically, transcendently, almost admirably terrible that language itself recoils from the task of describing them. Grammar buckles. Syntax weeps. The thesaurus slams itself shut and refuses to cooperate. He is this thing. He is the thing past the thing past the thing. He is the sub-basement of the human condition, the moldy crawlspace beneath that sub-basement, and the writhing centipede beneath that.

To call him despicable is to call the sun “a little warm.” To call him hatable is to say that the Black Death was “somewhat inconvenient.” He does not merely inspire hatred. He manufactures it, industrializes it, ships it wholesale to people who had never previously experienced a single negative emotion in their lives. Buddhists who have spent forty years meditating toward unconditional love have encountered him briefly and immediately relapsed into pure, screaming fury. Pacifists clench their fists. Quakers throw things. He has caused more apostasy, more broken vows, more abandoned philosophies than any theological crisis in recorded history, simply by existing in the same zip code as decent people.

He has no morals. Not a single one. Not even the bad morals that at least imply a moral framework: the corrupt cop who loves his dog, the mob boss who goes to church. No. He exists in a morality vacuum so total that ethicists have proposed naming it after him. Philosophy departments around the world now use him as a thought experiment: “Imagine a being entirely without moral content. Not evil, because evil requires intention. Simply absent of the entire apparatus.” He is the null set of conscience. A moral negative space shaped vaguely like a man.

He has no empathy. Scientists have confirmed this. They put him in a brain scanner and watched his amygdala just sit there, inert, like a raisin, unmoved by footage of suffering, by crying children, by injured animals, by literally anything. The researchers wept. He asked if there were snacks.

He has no sympathy either, which is worse, because sympathy doesn’t even require feeling. It only requires pretending. He cannot manage the performance. He cannot fake it. When people around him suffer, his face rearranges itself into an expression that experts have described as “a beige wall trying to look interested.” He is incapable of the most basic social theater that even sociopaths manage. He makes sociopaths look like Florence Nightingale.

His regard for human life is so nonexistent that physicists have theorized it may be negative. He is somehow subtracting regard from the universe’s fixed supply, leaving decent people fractionally less capable of caring about one another, because he is consuming their collective empathy like a moral black hole, bending the very fabric of human decency around his grotesque gravitational pull.

He takes without asking. He takes everything without asking. He takes things that aren’t takeable. He takes the goodwill of strangers. He takes credit for things he didn’t do. He takes years off the lives of people who have to deal with him. He takes the oxygen out of rooms. He took someone’s lunch once, a sad and modest lunch that a tired person had been quietly looking forward to all morning, and he didn’t even enjoy it. He took it on principle. The principle being: I can.

He steals right out in the open with the brazen, unembarrassed confidence of a man who has never once considered that other people are real. He doesn’t steal in the dark. He doesn’t steal furtively. He steals the way you pick up your own mail: casually, boredly, without a single spike of adrenaline or guilt. Guilt would require believing that the person he’s stealing from has standing, has claims, has feelings that matter. He does not believe this. He has never believed this. He was not built to believe this.

He is stupid in a way that is almost majestic. His stupidity is not the ordinary kind, the forgivable, relatable kind that all of us carry in patches and compartments. His is total. Unified. A stupidity that has achieved something like integrity. There is not one chamber of his mind operating at even a remedial level of insight. He has been wrong about everything, always, without exception, without a single accidental correct answer slipping through, which statistically should be impossible and yet here he is, a living rebuke to probability. If you put him in a room with a hundred doors and told him the exit was behind one of them, he would find the ninety-nine wrong ones first, in sequence, and then stand in front of the last door and walk into the wall beside it.

He is callous the way concrete is callous: not through malice, not through choice, but through an utter material inability to register the soft pressure of another person’s pain. You could hand him a book of tragedies, and he would complain about the font. You could show him the face of grief, and he would wonder aloud if there was parking nearby. He does not process human suffering as data. It does not reach him. It never has.

He is vicious without the interesting parts of viciousness. Without cunning, without strategy, without even the cold competence of a true predator. He is vicious the way a blunt instrument is vicious: through sheer, undirected force, through the momentum of his own awfulness carrying him forward into collisions that leave damage everywhere and leave him untouched, unmarked, unaware. Animals that bite have reasons. He does not have reasons. He has trajectory.

He is physically unhealthy in ways that feel karmic, as though his body is attempting to file a formal complaint against his soul. His constitution has mutinied. His own biology is staging a protest.

He is untempered. He has never been tempered. He came out of whatever process produced him without the crucial step: the cooling, the shaping, the refinement that turns raw material into something useful. He is still raw. He will always be raw. He is smelted fury with no purpose, unforged, unbent, uselessly molten.

He is, in the final and most complete assessment, a disgusting anomaly. A statistical outlier so extreme that evolution seems to be embarrassed by him, a glitch in the long project of civilization, a misprint in the human genome so catastrophic that it somehow achieved sentience and got a driver’s license. He is proof that the universe has no quality control. He is what happens when the worst possible combination of traits clears every filter, slips through every gate, and arrives, blinking and unconcerned, into a world that never prepared for anything quite like him.

And the most horrifying part, the detail that keeps philosophers up at night, staring at the ceiling, reconsidering everything, is that he will never know any of this. He will never know what he is. He will go to his grave certain that he was, in fact, pretty good. Maybe even great.

That is the final insult. That is the thing that cannot be forgiven.

 

As of April 2026 the US national debt stands at $36 TRILLION.

If you ask why so much, Republicans will tell you it’s because of “Democratic Party socialist and communist spending.”  But let’s take a closer look.

 THE IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN WARS: $8 TRILLION
No WMDs found. No democracy built. Two countries left in chaos. That’s not socialism. That’s bipartisan warmongering with a Lockheed Martin logo on it.

THE 2008 BANK BAILOUT: $700 BILLION plus $12 TRILLION in Fed support
Wall Street gambled with your mortgages and as a result the global economy crashed.  Then Wall Street was handed a check with YOUR name on it. The banks kept their bonuses. You kept your debt. That’s not socialism for the poor — that’s socialism for the rich.

 THE 2017 TAX CUTS: $1.9 TRILLION added to the debt — and the 2026 tax cuts have added almost $2 trillion
Sold as a gift to the middle class. Apple alone saved $47 billion. Your check? Maybe $40 a month. The debt? $1.9 trillion heavier.

 THE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: $4.5 TRILLION per year
America spends MORE per person than any country on Earth — and gets LESS. A hip replacement in Spain? $6,000. In the US? $40,000. Medical bills are the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy in America. That’s not too much socialism. That’s the cost of having none.

 PENTAGON BUDGET: $886 BILLION in 2024 alone
Larger than the next 10 countries COMBINED. Meanwhile your bridge is crumbling and your kid’s school has a GoFundMe for pencils.  And Trump wants $1.5 TRILLION for the Pentagon next year.

Now —  tell me again about “socialism.”

On Thursday night, David Ellison—whose allowance from his father Larry has enabled him to build a vast media empire—hosted a private dinner in honor of Trump at the newly renamed (by Trump) Trump U.S. Institute of Peace, several stone’s throws from the Lincoln Memorial (not named by Lincoln, btw). The Ellisons’ purchase last week of Warner Bros. Discovery, putting it under control of Paramount Skydance, which they own, must pass antitrust muster with the Trump administration’s Justice Department. Not surprisingly, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was also a dinner guest, as were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Deputy President and Nativist Supremo Stephen Miller. Lest that fail to demonstrate deference sufficiently, Miller and WarSec Pete Hegseth were reportedly the guests of CBS News two nights later at the Washington Hilton gala.

Papa Ellison has been a major donor to Trump’s presidential campaigns and his PAC, while Paramount has shelled out for Trump’s ballroom. Moreover, once Jr. Ellison’s purchase of Paramount gave him ownership of CBS, he responded to Trump’s lawsuit against the network for its coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign by ordering the network to pay off Trump in the amount of $16 million.

Inasmuch as the Ellisons’ dinner coincided with political journalists’ big weekend, and in case that $16 million wasn’t enough, their soiree was also intended to show Trump how much their own journalists at CBS News really liked him. CBS News chief Bari Weiss, whom Ellison had hired on the strength of her anti-woke and pro-conservative politics, sat alongside Jr. Ellison at Trump’s table, though The New York Times reported that “several CBS News journalists said they were taken aback by the existence of the dinner.” Politicized news media we have always, in varying degrees, had with us, but the network of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite was known for setting the mainstream mass media’s non-fawning, nonpartisan news coverage standards of the 20th century. And not even the fawning, partisan Murdoch/Ailes gnomes at Fox News had ever contemplated hosting a dinner honoring a sitting president. Which is to say, the norm-shattering D.C. event of last week wasn’t Saturday’s correspondents’ dinner, even with the attempted assassination factored in; it was the Ellisons’ and their CBS News underlings’ supine prostration before the altar of Trump.

Looks to me like the Ellisons are going to use their media purchases as a way to control information. They want to lie to the public about the goings on of rich people like themselves.

What they aren’t going to do is try to turn a profit by using their media holdings to create art or even moderately entertaining media products.

They are going to sit on the IP they purchased and milk it for all it’s worth as they strip down the production companies to virtually nothing.

Melania Trump calls on ABC to take a stand against Jimmy Kimmel as she rails against late night host following a scathing monologue

…………….

The first lady posted on X, “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.”

…………….

In his fake WHCA dinner monologue, Kimmel acted as if Donald Trump and the first lady were in the room. “Oh, by the way, before we go any further, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania. That was my impression of Jeffrey Epstein.”

Another joke has drawn new attention, given the shooting at the dinner on Saturday, forcing the Secret Service to rush the first lady, her husband and other administration officials from the dais and other seats near the stage.

In his parody of the event on Thursday, Kimmel said, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

 

Melania had better watch out or Kimmel will show Melania’s naked pictures on his show.

 The man is demented or insane – most likely both.

The dry drunk Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth fired John Phelan, Secretary of the Navy — who was a know-nothing, do-nothing billionaire — and replaced him with Hung Cao, a former Navy SEAL and a raving nutcase.

It’s truly astounding that the US Navy is now being “led” by none other than Hung Cao. Yeah, this guy – while the U.S. is at war,  has a naval blockade going against Iran, no less.  And yes, we are in big, big trouble as a nation.
