The Elon Musk/Donald Trump Alliance appears to be holding for now. Both are serving the other’s needs, such as they are. Elon dreams of colonizing Mars and being a messenger of the salvation of humankind, while Donald, oblivious to the suffering loss of Palestinian lives and homes, envisions a Trump Hotel and golf course rising from the rubble of the Gaza Strip. Both of these egocentric sociopaths, hungry for power and certain of their brilliance, are off the charts of psychiatric normalcy. Both have severely damaged psyches enthralled with wielding power. Thus far, they are working in tandem to lay a broad axe to the structures of American government, an act no less globally unsettling than that of the Trotsky/Lenin overthrow of the Russian Tsars. Some speculate that a Clash of the Titans is inevitable, perhaps an Alien Versus Predator scenario raging through the halls of the White House and Congress. Someone has to emerge as number one. In the meantime, confusion and anxiety over the ramifications of Trump 2.0 hang over everyone’s future.

Fake, fake, fake!
Donald Trump made the first splash in his campaign for President with a “fake news” story that Obama was not born in America. Now he and his supporters cry, “Fake News!” at any reporting not favorable to him or his message, particularly in regard to the Russian involvement in his campaign. Looking past the tacit racism underlying the questioning of Obama’s “Americaness”, the claim of fake news has become a political tool to confound and confuse public perception of what may or may not be factual. A truthful evaluation of the Republican effort to Repeal and Replace Obama’s Affordable Care Act would term it the Fake Health Care Act in its denial of quality health care for those less fortunate, which also exposes the Fake Christianity of Republican politicians who choose to ignore the teachings of the Beatitudes. Through it all, it reveals that Donald Trump is a truly Fake Savior of America’s Greatness.
