First of all, let me say I’m frankly sick and tired of hearing about Donald Trump. All this attention he’s getting from everyone and everywhere just feeds his endless narcissistic, insecure and pathetic little ego. Have you seen those statues of him placed all over the country? Somebody’s gonna go down for that – someone named Ginger. Very cool sculpture. Oh, you say you haven’t seen them? Here ya go!

By now, the word has spread about these statues, and they are everywhere on the net. Because they’re everywhere, there’s no way to stop the laughing and ridicule. As I’ve noted before in previous blogs, relative to ISIS, the best way to destroy evil is to get people to laugh at it. It makes evil’s little johnson wilt and eventually it makes evil go away.

But now to the serious part of this blog post. By his very nature, Donald Trump has made a mockery of this year’s presidential election. It would have been inconceivable – ever – in the past for a presidential candidate to be so hated and yes feared, that a mocking statue of him in the buff would appear in at least five different cities simultaneously. There’s even a YouTube video of how the statue was made – quite a stunning likeness of his … face.

Sorry – I really am trying to be serious. But I guess that’s my point. He isn’t a serious candidate, and never has been. After the better part of a year trying to figure out what this is all about, I think I’m finally onto it. Hence the title. Still don’t get it? Let me ‘splain.

Think

Hitler and the National Socialist Movement in 1929. They had staged an attempted coup which was a complete disaster. Hitler had been thrown in jail, where he dictated Mein Kampf and his little buddy Rudolph Hess typed it. After serving 9 months of a five year sentence for treason (?!?) Hitler comes out and loses election after election. In 1929, he is ridiculed and laughed at – just like Trump.

Then comes the Depression. Fear and inflation come to Germany. Within a very short time, Hitler has become the leader of the most popular movement in Germany. He gets appointed Chancellor, with the politicians thinking they could control him if he’s a member of the cabinet. Unfortunately, the president, Paul von Hindenburg, dies and guess who becomes President? Yes indeedee.

That was 1933. So Trump is the equivalent of Hitler in 1929 – laughed at and ridiculed by the media, by people other than his fanatical followers (sound familiar?) and by the rest of the world. They weren’t laughing so hard after he took over Austria five short years later. And you know the rest of that story.

So here’s the point: Donald will lose this election – but he knew he would. He will use this loss to generate bitterness, fear and hatred for the ‘ruling class’ – anybody that knows anything about anything. He will virtually destroy the Republican Party, accusing it of every possible failure, leading to his loss. The ‘experts’ are on their way out, and Trump, aided and abetted by Breitbart News, Roger Ailes and the other toadies that speak for him (shudder) will create Trump Media. This they will use for another run in four years – a run that will allow him – or his surrogate – to be successful in winning the presidency. All we need are a few more terror attacks and an economic slowdown, with a pinch of inflation to leaven the mix.

So don’t be heaving a sigh of relief on November 9th. He’ll be back, and when he returns, it’ll be Adolph all over again. And it won’t just be in the US – it will be half the world, including Britain, France, Russia and goodness knows which other countries. Nationalism is, once again, rearing its ugly head, but this time in the nuclear age. That makes for a uniquely dangerous reality.

Maybe after the war is over and America (and likely the rest of the civilized world) is reduced to rubble, generations will go by without anybody naming their son Donald. It’s the least we can hope for.
