The eternal problem with Trump can be neatly described using his tweets today.

Let’s investigate, shall we? Here they are, in order:

——————————————————–

1) Stock Market at new all-time high! Working on new trade deals that will be great for U.S. and its workers!

2) Stock Market hit another all-time high yesterday – despite the Russian hoax story! Also, jobs numbers are starting to look very good!

3) Will be at the Women’s U.S. Open today!

4) Next week the Senate is going to vote on legislation to save Americans from the ObamaCare DISASTER. #WeeklyAddress

5) MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

6) Just got to the #USWomensOpen in Bedminster, New Jersey. People are really happy with record high stock market – up over 17% since election!

——————————————————–

The issue here is the same one I’ve been hammering at now for 5 years if not longer. The stock market is a contrary indicator for the economy. A high stock market means a bad economy, and vice-versa.

A good economy is one in which money flows into the creation of jobs, businesses and material goods. A bad one has money directed into crap like stocks.

The stock market is an oligarch circle jerk. That’s literally all it is. It’s a kind of universal guaranteed income for lazy rich people. In a healthy economy, money would be flowing down from the top into the middle class, in the form of job opportunities and raises and such. But, it doesn’t, anymore, because it’s stuck up at the top because the stock market literally never goes down. So the wealthy make money in stocks to put money in stocks, because all the government and federal reserves’s policies are about is making people who put money in stocks richer.

We either have 1) a high stock market and a malfunctioning economy, or 2) a low stock market and a functioning economy. But, we don’t have and will never get either.

The problem with the US economy is that we have too many rich people. And until this problem is taken care of, no recovery is on the horizon.

This is not a difficult concept to understand.

A recovery means that the stock market takes a 75% hit. That way, money will leave stocks and go elsewhere, such as hiring workers. And then the economy will begin to recover.

We’re not going to get that with Trump. Or with anyone in the political scene, right now. Nobody will work towards this. The system we have is permanently broken, and as it is, the US has no economic weapons with which to counter China or Russia or anyone else, for that matter.

We’re headed down, down, down into the gutter of the 3rd world, and there is no process with which to stop this since the entire system is corrupt. They’ve lost their purpose and cannot fix anything, or even mention what needs to be done to fix anything at all.

And Trump is by far the worst of the lot.

Just to throw another note out there:

Trump isn’t dumb no matter how he looks, it’s just that everything he does is designed to distract, no matter how stupid and bizarre said distraction may be.

Hence his idiotic and nonsensical idea of creating a Russian-US cybersecurity alliance, or whatever that was. What Trump is trying to do is baffle everyone so much that they forget to press him on immigration.

And this is the reason behind “covfefe” and the rest of that nonsense, too.

That’s what all of this is, really. What Trump is trying to do is stall for as much time as possible, so that he doesn’t have to act on immigration. And it doesn’t matter how he stalls, or what he does or has to say, no matter how idiotic.

The overriding theme of everything Trump does is that he has zero respect for anyone who voted for him, and he will work as hard as he can to avoid representing them or their interests so that his daughter can benefit from their downfall.

This is the arc of Donald and his entire career, basically. Trump isn’t a leader. He’s a natural salesman, which means that he doesn’t believe in anything besides that which benefits himself and those in his own inner circle.

Once he makes the sale, in his mind, that’s it. A deal’s a deal. He’s in the office, so screw you, you suckers who supported him. He has your money, and there are no refunds.

The problem with this approach is obvious: that’s not democracy. From the peoples’ point of view, they should be getting the things they voted for. And they didn’t vote to see Ivanka acting as President during G-20 meetings while Trump goes out golfing, that’s for sure.

And they didn’t vote for any kind of “cybersecurity” pact with Russia, that’s for damn sure. In fact that whole idea is just another direct inversion of everything that the people who voted for Trump want.

What people want is ECONOMIC and PEACE ORIENTED ties to Russia. In fact, they might be open anything with Russia BESIDES the whole “Internet” thing. Which… may be the reason we’re getting it, of course.

And they sure as hell didn’t vote for more Jesus, either. In fact, Trump’s whole appeal was that he was in the GOP and he *wasn’t* an evangelist. And they didn’t vote for Trumpcare, or for the infrastructure crap, or for any of the rest of it.

People, especially the common public masses, are very simple. They find a meme and stick to it, and Trump’s was Build The Wall. Which means: Reduce Immigration. This is why people voted for him, and this is the only reason people voted for him.

And if they don’t get it, and get in in spades, they’re going to get pissed off like hell.

We’re reaching the point now of the public being fooled once too many times. The public might be gullible- or at least conveniently forgiving- provided people have jobs and the opportunity to get out of debt and build up some savings, and such.

But when they can’t, and they remember that the damn punch bowl has been yanked away from them, time and time and time again, they’ll get angry.

See, that’s what the ruling families don’t get, clearly. “Democracy” or whatever this is that we have doesn’t work if the people never, ever get what they vote for, ever. Then, the system stops operating.

What happens after that is of course anyone’s guess.

And so the national embarrassment train rolls on, endlessly. It’s getting sickening. Trump the impotent fool is still being upstaged by his own liberal daughter at every turn, Putin is still laughing at us, and the Chinese are still hard at work constructing their own, better version of what we used to be, back when we had a clue and a future.

And off in the wings, that idiot, roid-addled pinhead Dwayne Johnson is looking to bring the WWE into the Oval Office, as if that would be an improvement over the reality TV ratings bonanza that is the Donald Trump admin.

At this point, 1984 seems like such a utopia. At least there, the ruling elite were competent and non-embarrassing. What a slice of heaven that would be!

Oh God, it’s just so embarrassing. I mean, it’s not even that it’s tyrannical. It’s that it’s tyrannical in the most stupid and mortifying way ever. It’s like the circus that is DC is literally morphing into it’s own metaphor. I’m starting to think that Jerry Springer should have stayed in politics. Who knows? Maybe he could have been President, too! And truth be told, he probably would have been better than any option we have today. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that.

God damn, does this country suck at politics. I mean, we really, really suck.

So, obviously, Trump has no interest in doing anything at all for his own voter base. 6 months in, and our issues get barely a passing mention from him, or from anyone under him. As usual with Trump, it’s all about himself and his own family. Everyone else can go fuck themselves.

To date, Trump has done NOTHING for his own base. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

And yes, I am aware that Trump recently made a public overture to “building the wall”. I don’t believe him. I mean, why the hell should I? Why should anyone? When was the last time that any GOP President kept his campaign promises that didn’t involve spending the nation’s savings to bomb the crap out of a foreign country to distract from problems here at home? And I ask that question in all seriousness.

President Chump doesn’t seem to get it. In spite of his once-in-a-blue-moon tweet about reducing immigration, somehow, he’s still focusing his actual policies on literally everything besides that, as if anyone in this country or in his own base cares about other issues. He’s still talking about Russia and ISIS and healthcare and Jesus and his daughter and the rest of that crap. Again, it strikes me how the totality of Trump’s admin is about doing everything except the things that his own base wants him to do.

It’s crazy, how stupid this all is. And you know, if Trump actually had ever wanted a border wall, it would already be here. He has what is today the most powerful government in the world and an infinite amount of money at his disposal. And it’s just a fucking wall. I mean, didn’t we build one of these things over in Israel at some point? And we built a huge one all the way over in Korea, remember? And that was like 60 years ago! And Trump is trying to tell me that he can’t get it done now, in Texas, with modern tech and endless billions of dollars in front of him? Nonsense. Absolute nonsense, and it insults my intelligence to pretend otherwise.

And still, the Jesus crap is just baffling to me. Who in their mind voted for fucking Donald Trump because they thought that he would bring JESUS back to the nation? Seriously! What the fuck even IS THIS? It’s Donald Trump! Nobody and I mean nobody has ever associated Donald Trump with Christianity. Ever. So why the hell are we getting it?

And all of what could be considered Trump’s “successes” in the domestic arena are the fault of circumstance, like the apparent reduction in illegal immigration into the US. That, I believe, is more likely being caused by our lack of jobs, money and hope, rather than any fear of President Chump. Seriously- the immigrants go where the jobs are. It’s the only reason for immigrating! If they’re not immigrating here, and instead going to other countries in the Americas, why do people think that is?

Honestly, Trump supporters. Your desperation at trying to make that fool into some kind of hero is just embarrassing. Please stop.

Trump’s real agenda is about himself and kids. He cares nothing for this country or for any of the idiots who pulled the lever for him. True to his roots at a spoiled, self-centered rich kid, his concerns are still, and apparently, always will be, chiefly wrapped around the myopic nonsense that consumes the attention of the super wealthy.

Trump clearly thinks very little of people who don’t have money. He thinks the unrich are dumb, simply put. Witness his recent proclamation that being born the daughter of a billionaire “hurt Ivanka’s chances at being successful” in this country. IDK if he was being tongue-in-cheek or not, that him even saying something like that illustrates the immense self-absorption of himself and his fellow oligarchs.

In fact, that’s still all we’re getting, here. I still cannot believe how unspeakably and undeservedly arrogant the Chump family is regarding Chump’s stupid daughter. Having her sit in his place during the G-20 meeting was a slap in the face to everyone in the United States if not to the entire world. It’s sickening, what that implies. It says that the ruling families here are not serious about treating anyone else with respect. I mean, holy fuck, Trump goes out golfing even more than fucking Obama, but he can’t attend the fucking G-20 meeting? And he sends his unelected, absolutely unqualified for a cashier position at Wal-Mart DAUGHTER instead? And then we wonder why other nations in the Americas are turning to the Chinese for leadership and business development? Trump, what the hell are you DOING?

Ugh. You know, I’m done with this rant, I think. All of this is just too depressing to even think about. I think I’ll go back to Slither.io or something.

*Sigh*…

Look, I can already tell you how all of this is going to end. It’s going to end with the ruling families and the oligarchs here losing everything they have that they value.

They’re still not getting it.

I’m referring now to the rumors circulating about how Trump is preparing some meaningless tariffs against Chinese imports, as if 1) that would actually hurt China, anymore, and 2) the American people actually want that, and 3) that would benefit the US economy, somehow.

These plans, if true, are like tossing rocks at a battleship, hoping to sink it. This kind of stuff isn’t going to do anything good to the US, or harmful to the Chinese.

The problem that the US economy has is wealth inequality, not Chinese imports. The Chinese imports are just filling in a void caused by our real problems, which is that people like Trump, Bezos, Zuckerberg and Gates are literally hoarding all of the money in the country, so that none of it circulates in a normal, healthy manner that might create jobs and businesses.

Cutting off Chinese imports would leave this country starving, since businesses can’t grow here because people lack money to make them run. We would be left with nothing. Not increased production, not jobs, not anything, really. We would be left in shambles. The Chinese imports are *helping* this country, not hurting it. Without cheap Chinese goods, this place would be in ruins, since we can’t make anything ourselves, anymore.

This is the same problem that Trump’s equally dumb infrastructure project has. That project is hopeless and nonsensical as well. Take a look at the news: people here are driving less and less, each passing year. Each year, more stores close than open. Electricity usage is down, year over year. Shipping is down, year over year. So, what good is a road that is built if nobody uses it? What good is a mall that nobody goes to? Or a power plant that provides redundant energy?

Infrastructure is not our problem. Our problem is that we have far, far too many billionaires. We have too many rich people. They are strangling the country and destroying it’s future.

Nothing that Trump has done or proposed thus far addresses this problem, or even hints at a solution to it.

And until this problem is solved, China and Russia- ostensibly America’s enemies- will continue to make inroads into the places that the US thinks are it’s own backyard. I mean, read the news these days about how many countries in South America are making grandiose business deals with China. Why? It’s because China has a healthy economy (or at least, one much healthier than ours). They have a middle class; they have businesses that revolve around things not related to managing the wealth of billionaires. Thus, they can relate to others in ways that our own economy can’t. They can provide services that we cannot, since our whole country these days revolves around the whims of the rich and those connected to the ruling families.

Look, to the oligarchs- you must make some hard choices, here. You’ve been dodging this for generations now, but your time is up. The world is calling you out. Are you prepared to give up your wealth and position to ensure the survival of your country, if not yourselves? If the answer is no, you will lose everything.

I’ve been saying this now for like 5 years on twitter and on here. You need to give up, somehow. Cut your losses and throw in the towel on some of this stuff. Bow to the public, here, and cave in on some issues, like immigration. You don’t have the choice, anymore. If you don’t do this, like NOW, the Chinese will continue to make inroads up until the point that they own this country as well, and then you will be really and truly fucked, here. You will lose everything you have, including your religion. The atheist Chinese government will not put up with the kind of Jesus crap that you’ve been foisting on people. Christians are a persecuted, powerless minority in China. They are spat upon, basically. If you think that won’t spread to the Americas after China takes over, you are mistaken.

The Jesus crap has got to go, and the same with Islam and Judaism. This is the 21st century, here. The future is now; take the road or get run over.

Oligarchs- you have wasted waaaaaaaaay too much time, here. Way too many years. You need to start making an effort, here, to fix some of the problems that this country has. And you can start with an immediate cut off in ALL immigration.

And it you think this isn’t a good idea, you’re not using your head. At the rate that other countries are pushing the US out of South and Central America, it will be only a couple of years before this country is an isolated, third-world banana republic in our own hemisphere. And we’ll get everything that goes along with that, too, like violence against the rich, and extreme class conflict and endless revolutions.

To avert that- we need a middle class, and we need one like next week, which means that ALL immigration must end, like this week.

The ruling families here are still very, very confused. They still act as though they have time to “fix” things, with stuff like tariffs and taxes and plans, when in fact they don’t, anymore. The truth is that now, as in this week, the hard choices must be made.

The world is getting sick and tired of yelling at the oligarchs, here. That’s enough, you guys. You need to fold up the empire and actually rebuild the middle class in this country. And the first step MUST BE a severe reduction in ALL immigration into the United States. If it is not, don’t bother trying.

You can always tell how much a white person sucks by looking at the amount of fake tanning they’re wearing.

None = someone you probably want to know.

A little = Maybe a problem, maybe not.

A lot = avoid like the plague. Human waste, and not just in looks.

AFAIK, there are no exceptions to this rule. Romney? Trash. The Jersey Shore idiots? Trash.

Trump?

Trash.

Always, the whiter a white person tries to look the better he is. The Founding Fathers here used to powder their faces, to cover up for scars, yes, but also to make themselves look whiter. And you know what? It made them look better, too. And because they were better people dammit.

Has there ever been a respectable or admirable white person who liked wearing bronzer, or who used fake tanning?

God, do I just hate Donald Trump. He is such a disgusting, slimy, misbegotten wretch of a man that he turns my stomach every time I see him.

Where is his honor?

Now that he’s President, why has he still as of yet refused to give his base even the smallest of table scraps, even in word? Trump refuses to stand by his promises. He won’t act for the best interest of his own base, for any reason at all, because doing so might upset his enemies, or maybe his daughter. He is the basest, most cowardly person to ever sit in the Oval Office.

At least Bush Jr. had the excuse of not knowing what his base really wanted.

See, that’s the thing. Trump refusing to deliver isn’t a matter of him just not knowing, because he does, because he already echoed his base’s concerns on the campaign trail. So he KNOWS. It’s just a matter of him having the balls to actually do the things he was hired to do.

This is the reason the democrats won’t leave him alone. It’s because his base won’t stand by him because he refuses to stand by them. He is isolated because he pushed his voters and all of his allies out the door the day he took office. I mean, of course he’s isolated. When you purposefully turn your back on your own base the second you have no more use for them, of course you wind up isolated.

So? Fuck Trump. He sucks, and the people who still support him at this point are fools at best.

Just to finish a thought, here.

What is amazing about all of this stuff isn’t even so much that the US oligarchs refuse to compromise, it’s that for all appearances they refuse to even acknowledge the validity of other viewpoints. It’s as if they can’t even understand that other people might have differing views, and that these views might have some kind of value.

Take Russia, for example. The view amongst the ruling families here seems to be that Russia has no place on the world stage, at all. The oligarchs here have an almost unfathomable arrogance towards Russia, like they don’t think that they should have any say in anything, at all.

The fact that Russia is by far the largest country on Earth, and has more mineral wealth than anyone else in the world, does not seem to be details of importance to them.

Take Russia’s mineral wealth, for example. The US government recently passed yet another round of sanctions on Russia, to try to stop them from selling natural gas to their next-door neighbors in Europe, as if that was 1) logical, 2) moral, 3) reasonable, and 4) able to be accomplished, somehow.

What these people are thinking at this point is beyond me, and beyond the rest of the world too, I think. I don’t get it. I mean, it just doesn’t even make sense. How is the US, over in the Western Hemisphere, going to stop Russia from selling natural gas via underground pipes to their next door neighbors? By what supernatural process does the government here expect to do this?

What does our government expect Russia’s neighbors to do? To live without natural gas, and/or other natural resources? I don’t get this. This is WTF politics writ large.

The same with China. How is the US government going to stop Russia from selling gas and oil to China?

I have a better idea, here. Why not just let Russia sell it’s fucking resources? You know, stop meddling and just get out of their way and let them manage their own economy? I mean, that way, when these sanctions fail in the same way that the old ones did, we might not look so unbelievably ridiculous!

Why not just let Russia have a say in it’s own policies with it’s next door neighbors? What is so awful about that?

The rest of the world has spent the last 9 years, since Obama’s inauguration, trying to make the US oligarchs listen. Trying to at least get their attention. I mean, whether it’s voters here at home, or people elsewhere. And no matter what happens, the viewpoints of others are never heard within the halls of power, here. It’s like it never even occurs to them that other people even have opinions, let alone that these opinions might have actual value.

At home, it’s diversity, always. Always, always, always diversity as being the only possible answer to every problem that is presented. Diversity can fix the economy. Diversity can fix the school system. Diversity can fix the culture. Diversity can fix the political problems. Diversity can fix the deficit. Diversity can fix fucking everything, including the problems caused by diversity.

So people just keep ramming their heads against the wall, here, trying to at least get some kind of respect, somehow. I mean, some kind of acknowledgement that there might be a solution to a problem that somehow doesn’t revolve around increasing “diversity”. And they don’t get anything, ever, from anyone, at any point. I mean, they don’t even get an acknowledgement that their ideas exist 99% of the time.

It’s baffling how truly thorough and complete the oligarchs’ dismissal of everyone else in the world really is. It’s as if they really believe that the rest of humanity is there to serve them, to the point that the others’ basic value as human beings is in question.

And so, the world turns away, and looks to others. As they should. Because who the hell wants to deal with people like that? The ruling families here are just abominable. I mean, they don’t even like the people in their own country, let alone others’. Morally, they’re the scum of the Earth. They see nothing of bombing and warring against other countries to deflect attention from the problems they themselves create here at home.

They’re moral trash, the garbage of humanity. No matter how much money they have, that’s all they have, in the end. They have no desire to see anyone else as their equal, so they refuse to work with anyone else, ever.

And so, the other great powers in the world continue to advance and make inroads into the ruling families’ former backyards, like South Korea, Japan, and South America, and the oligarchs here can do nothing but sit and count their money, as if that matters to anyone else besides them.

And so they sit and watch as their own country’s economy burns to the ground around them, while they squabble amongst themselves like toddlers, thus earning themselves the undying contempt of the rest of the world.

It’s just beyond parody, at this point. Beyond hope, beyond redemption.

It’s really sad, when you think about it. Ten years of others trying to make them listen has resulted in nothing. They will not change or budge, one iota.

Really sad.

One more of these things.

The problem with Trump is the same as always: he just adamantly refuses to represent his base, on anything. He’ll do everything but that of course, and he’ll do all of that with as much effort as he can muster. But when it comes to doing the things that the people who voted for him actually might like, he sits there and does nothing.

In that sense, he’s like the rest of them, in that he just doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, and perhaps his immediate family of course.

Our foreign policy still doesn’t make sense. Nobody knows who we’re fighting or why, or why we’re even fighting at all. That whole Russia/ISIS confusion is just such a perfect symbol of this. Which of these two is our enemy? Do we stand against Russian secularism or fanatical Islam? Does anyone even know? Is it even possible to tell?

It’s just confusing as hell, and frustrating beyond belief for others to even figure out what we’re doing, anymore. Case in point: Germany, who is pushing the US out for a rapprochement with Moscow, which is something I talked about as being inevitable on twitter like 5 years ago.

Nobody gets what we’re even doing, anymore. We’re attacking everybody in the world, all at once, for no logical reason.

The problem here is the one I keep talking about, over and over again, which is that the US oligarchs refuse to compromise on anything, even a small amount. They will not even consider budging on any one issue, even an inch. It kills…. everything. It destroys any hope of a successful agreement with anyone.

And it isn’t just international. It’s domestic. Time and time again, decade after decade, generation after generation, the people here in the US express their interest for reduced immigration. They try over and over again to make their point heard, to put their ideas out there, and they get nothing, ever, for their efforts. It’s baffling and endlessly frustrating. Even Trump, who is literally only in office because of this one issue, has refused to budge an inch on immigration after being sworn in.

It’s amazing, really. It just is. If Trump had just built the wall, like everyone in the country wanted him to, and like I recommended he do, he would have left office as one of our most beloved Presidents ever, regardless of his other actions. But instead, he worked on… a whole bunch of idiotic crap that nobody wanted or cared about, like Trumpcare, the Jesus nonsense, and other stupidities. He literally did everything besides the one thing that would have immediately and permanently made him one of the most popular Presidents in American history. Logically, it’s baffling to the point where one suspects deliberate sabotage of his own base, you know, like every GOP President has done since WWII.

And so it goes, exasperatingly, endlessly. The ruling families here are trapped within their own little opulent bubbles. They’re so trapped that their isolation seems to have driven then insane, so they lash out at everyone, everywhere. And so the world turns to others, then.

So China and Russia forge ahead with their own projects, which are built on compromise and LISTENING to others- and most especially, listening to those people within their own borders- and the world turns to them, instead. And so the US sinks further and further, with each passing day, down into the morass of the third world. Every day that passes now, this country more closely resembles a tinpot South American narco state rather than a developed nation.

The comparisons to late-collapse Rome are still poignant, too, with the Jesus stuff still on my mind, here. Late Rome tried a bunch of tricks to keep their empire together in it’s final stages, with the forcing of Christianity on the public being one of them. It was a way for them to try to enforce a kind of universal conformity on the too-diverse and upset people of Rome. Ultimately, it failed, for the same reasons that it will fail here, too. Because fairy tales are a poor substitute for fixing real problems.

The whole point of this essay is just that there’s no talking with these people. The oligarchs, I mean. The ruling families and the rich people. Nobody can even sit down and discuss anything with them.

So, they don’t.

All of this probably has to do with my psychic intuition strongly pushing me towards girls that I would be more compatible with in real world relationship situations, probably because that way, there will be less adverse consequences for everyone else.

Happy Tom = Happy Earth.

In other words, no more dicking around. I am the already the most powerful man alive, and I will only become stronger from here on out. This is serious business, this time.

So, Mary Elizabeth Winstead it is. What must be, will be.

Besides the other stuff, my psychic intuition is telling me the Mary is good for me, again. It’s very strongly saying this. IDK why, but there it is.

It probably has something to do with the whole “Tom’s fantasies bleeding into reality” thing that we’re all a part of, right now.

Ok.

So.

Remember that stuff I said when Katy Perry was doing that live stuff on youtube? I mean, about “fake married” chicks and all that?

I think I’m going to dip my toes in and try again with one of those chicks, just to see how it goes. So, yeah. MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!! You’re up to bat, dear.

Divorced chicks that were married only for showbiz and “image” purposes are fine, to me. At least, for now.

So, yeah. There it is.

BTW, I’m only telling people that Mary is the girl so that everyone will know who to blame in case this doesn’t work out, sooooooo……
