American psycho
The recrudescence of Donald J Trump
It was a perfect verdict, a beautiful verdict. Probably the most beautiful verdict the world has ever seen.
A jury has awarded Trump rape victim E. Jean Carroll $US83.3 million in damages all while Perp#1 sweats on the outcome of an in-progress New York civil fraud trial that is seeking the return of $US370 million from dodgy deals he made by cooking the books. The karma bus has big, orange bug spatter all over its windscreen; the eviscerated Gropenfuhrer adding a new word to his vocabulary – consequences.
He’s been rejected, reviled, lampooned, impeached, probed and indicted. He stole highly classified documents to trade for profit or leverage. He incited sedition. He exploited the office of POTUS to further enrich himself and his spawn. He faces 91 criminal indictments. Eleven of his associates have been charged with crimes. He endorsed cookers and election deniers as mid-term candidates, and he threatens and denigrates anyone who dares challenge him. Mafia Don is unconstrained by any notion of decency or compliance with civil norms.
There’s evil and there’s vile. Bleach Boy spans both, yet the MAGA cult remains impervious. The cos-play ammosexuals, the beer belly putsch of Gravy Seals, Green Buffets and other camoed, AR15ed people-of-girth, the douche coup seditionists and the IQ defaulting, credulous simpletons and the morally-agnostic detritus continue to genuflect in his general direction.
A proven sexual predator. (Trump once told a lawyer he didn’t find her attractive enough to sexually assault.)
“He’s our boy.”
Putin’s bitch.
“A true patriot.”
A demonstrably compulsive liar.
“Alternative facts.”
A grifter, serial bankrupt, fraudster and thief.
“Gonna send him my last $20.”
An overt racist.
“Now we’re talkin’.”
A covetous vulgarian.
“Classy guy.”
A petulant, whiney bitch and grievance-mongering, bloated, shit-fit throwing toddler.
“An American hero.”
A wanna-be despot, a bully and a bone-spurred coward.
“I like how he stands up for the little guy.”
Donald Trump has been arrested more times than he’s been elected. A malice-driven, junk food epicure. A fatuous, bloviating braggart. A daughter-fondling sleaze, a homicidal exhorter to violence. A pretender – an inheritance squandering, multiple bankrupts. A veteran-denigrating yellow, scabrous dog. A habitual loser with a mange-ravaged merkin glued atop an umber stuccoed pout that brings to mind a dog-groomer’s floor sweepings humping a jack-o’-lantern.
He is physically repugnant (some have put forward the proposition that he literally smells of loaded Depends), morally bankrupt, mentally damaged and cognitively challenged. An odious chum bucket of every human failing, bar, so far, the machine-gunning of orphans’ creches – but hey, if there’s a buck in it…
He’s a paean to smug ignorance and gracelessness.
Geographer. Specialising in SE Asia – “Thighland”, “Nipple”, “Button”.
The Balkans and the Baltic are the same to Donny Dorito. (Author’s note: his latest wife is Slovenian.)
Historian. Revolutionary War airstrips, WWII ending in 1917.
Physicist. “All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.”
Meteorologist. “Nuke the hurricanes.”
Epidemiologist. Drink that bleach, stick that lava lamp up your ass.
Diplomat. Publicly fellating Putin, Kim Jong Un, MBS, Xi – actual murderous despots.
And so on. And on. Ad nauseam.
A self-proclaimed billionaire bilking donations from hardscrabble rubes and swampies.
Trump provokes their grievances, victimhood and anger as his business model. John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Trump cultivates that notion, blaming “radical leftists”, Democrats, the woke, antifa, BLM and immigrants as the cause of the MAGA’s disaffection from the American Dream© that should be their due.
Monetising a white, American Jesus is a doddle for a crude, faithless phony who could not believe his luck when credulous hordes of evangelising creationists jumped into his canoe. He didn’t even need to bait his hook. Low-information chuckle-fuck MAGAs with attention spans that would embarrass a goldfish cheer an angry old man’s vindictiveness, they revel in his outrages and his fuck you politics all while voting against their own best interests in favour of a man who would steal their last dime without a second thought.
Trump may be the GOP’s nominated presidential candidate for 2024 yet despite the angst of the psephologists and opinionista, the cheerleading of the Fox sewage farm and Putin’s inevitable interference the tangerine tyrantosaurus will never again inhabit the White House. Either he will go to jail, the hamburger grease that functions as plasma in his veins will kill him or the meth party being held by the family of raccoons that live in his head will assume full control.
Trump thinks a second term will save him, a prophylactic against pending criminal charges, but sadly for him he’s a serial loser:
“In 2018, Republicans lost the House. In 2020, they lost the Senate and the White House too. And last week, many of Trump’s handpicked candidates lost the midterm elections and delivered a great deal of humiliation to their party, which, instead of a predicted “red wave”, had to settle for a ripple. The party failed to retake the Senate, and might even end up with fewer numbers than in the outgoing chamber…”
House arrest with an ankle-bracelet, a Norma Desmond-like existence at his tacky Palm Beach motel, Tawdry-Sur-La-Mer, is perhaps the best he can hope for provided it’s not sold off to recover some of his defamation and fraud outstandings and to pay his discount shopping mall lawyers.
Maybe his future is to gibber incoherently to guests as he shuffles between tables or to whine self-pityingly about how unfair it all is, shadowed by his security goons with defibrillator and poop bags at the ready. The botoxed patsies and shit-grinning marks with their MAGA tat will pose for Instagram selfies so that their future progeny may wonder at what gormless morons their forebears were to be suckered by a sleazy, criminal dirtbag with creeping dementia.
As the walls close in he will get increasingly desperate, calls for violence and retribution will be more open, and he will frame the inevitable election result as stolen. He’ a loser – a loser’s loser. The question remains – will a palatable, mutant strain of Trumpist authoritarianism rise to take his place?

What Ads Work With MAGA Voters. Rick Wilson
“The now-unsealed indictment in the case of United States of America v. Donald J. Trump and Waltine Nauta has it all, seemingly every Trump flaw condensed into 49 pages and 38 counts of squalid detail. It is a devastating legal document, but it is also a damning character study of a man whose faults are all too familiar yet retain the power to shock and appall.” The WashingtonPost.
“Donald Trump is facing five years in prison and a felony because of a law HE SIGNED in attempt to punish Hillary Clinton in 2018. The law HE SIGNED upgrades the crime of wrongly moving classified material from a misdemeanor to a felony. Trump signed the bill after spending the 2016 presidential campaign accusing Hillary Clinton of improperly handling classified information.” Salon.com
“He is under a dozen investigations for crimes ranging from espionage to seditious conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and is going to prison.
He committed treason, sedition, and incited a deadly insurrection.
He lost in 2016 by 3 million votes. Lost the GOP the House in 2018, lost them the Presidency (by 9 million votes) and the senate in 2020 and lost them the senate (again) and prevented their red wave in 2022.
He’s a 76 year old malignantly narcissistic morbidly obese drug addicted dementia-ridden abomination who doesn’t believe in exercise.
Accomplishments of his administration, nepotism Barbie. Just crimes, disgraces, embarrassments, impeachable offenses, abuses of power, abrogations of oath, and violations of the U.S. constitution.” Andrew Wortman

Oh and how we ALL laughed around the World at his humbling impoverishment and humiliation!
Pingback: American psycho - independent news and commentary Australia
How many Australians, including Howard, Abbott et al. and SkyNews AD admired Trump for his faux conservatism to deliver corrupt nativist authoritarian policies?
Abbott has been doing a ‘peacock dance’ claiming to support Ukraine in public while admiring Trump and Hungary’s PM ‘mini Putin’ Orban, where he is employed by a Koch (Heritage) linked Institute; the latter’s has been described as anti-Ukraine by conservative normies and hosted some Orban’s people visiting, to meet and lobby against Ukraine aid.
‘‘Orbán Is Actually Trump, But Without the Downsides of the 45th US President’ — An Interview with Former Australian PM Tony Abbott’
This is America you may have noticed.
Did you really expect a sane, rational, law abiding leader to emerge from the diabolical mess that USA is currently experiencing?
The next president residing in Jail completely deranged,, presiding over gun laws, abortion, freedom of speech, race, and the chronic imbalance in wealth, with the nuclear codes alongside, is what we must expect from the coming election.
Just watch the stars, and stripes being vigorously being flown outside each American house to usher in the next era of their world domination.
It will be interesting to see who Murdoch anoints as the preferred candidate, considering how much their previous misguided support cost them financially, as well as Trump’s threats of vengeance toward those who previously abandoned him.
So far they have been happy to participate in the anti-Biden pile-on but seem to be reluctant to throw their unconditional support behind Trump apart from generating the usual click-bait.
One of the Donald’s more devoted fans.
Remember, he has his faults too..

The Sky team have already signed on to Trump – they record every slip and trip of Biden’s with great hilarity but failed to report Trump mistaking Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi.
Agreed, FOX have not yet given Trump unconditional support but they will.
Abbott is a fantasising pontifical fraud, mentality challenged, a romanist ratbag, under-educated, uberpapist, righteous rubbish, supremacist shit. Mediaval mentality schooling has left this dangling dickshiner as unfit for commenting, centuries out of date. Abbott admires Trump and similar oppressive defectives like Orban, a sign of horrible incapacity to reason what is good for most. Most voters, citizens, adults, want collective discussion, some consultation, dialogue, shared effort to get a result. Abbott, Trump, the Big Pigs of egofixated rightwingery, want to poke and prick away, telling us… It stinks, must be fronted, eliminated, beaten.
What an enormously fabulous post GG. Then there is the bonus PP comment. Made my day!!
Obviously the standard of journalism on AIMN is far higher than the very low bar required in the Murdoch Media Monopoly (MMM).

Per ABC’s 7:30 interview with the dynamic Bernie Sanders last night:
Trump voters don’t really give a toss about Trump, except he’s the perfect wrecking vehicle for them to take revenge on the (Left) Democrats for years of them failing the middle / lower classes. And they are right, the Democrats have failed them.
They rightly see that American politics is a sell-out to corporations and the uber-rich, and is a broken, corrupted system. And they want to completely obliterate it – this is historically the old American way. So Trump is convenient. They are not interested in sophisticated thinking and the roll-on affects to America and the rest of the world.
If Trump becomes president again, his madness will know no bounds. He will quickly drag America into an authoritarian state. And this will be a dire signal of encouragement to aspiring autocrats and oligarchs waiting in the wings across the world.
Bernie is working hard on how to get the Democrat machine to facilitate the policies that will pull his legions of young and ‘progressives’ followers across to the mainstream Democrats.
In addition to the shit-pile that is Russia/Ukraine and the middle east (and Texas et al), the Democrats better get their shit together between now and November.
Bernie is always dramatic, but it seems he has a well reasoned take on the situation. Onya Bernie.
” If the Nuremberg war trails laws had. Extended to the present day every American president from WW2 to now would have been hanged for war crimes ,” Noam Chomsky
Fantastic article. One of the best i have ever read about the horrid ridiculous sub-human that so many ‘patriotic Americans’ would follow to their death. Maybe you need to be born a Yank to have any understanding of how or why any educated person with a functioning brain could find even one small thing about him to like, let alone respect. He doesn’t care about any of them except for conning/siphoning donations out of them because he can’t even afford his own legal defense. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT ONE THING, HIS OWN OVER INFLATED EGO. History will remember himfor what he is, as the biggest embarrassment ever to come from the Divided States of Aggression.
Looking from afar. All i see is collective madness.
“They rightly see that American politics is a sell-out to corporations and the uber-rich, and is a broken, corrupted system. And they want to completely obliterate it – this is historically the old American way. So Trump is convenient. They are not interested in sophisticated thinking and the roll-on affects to America and the rest of the world.”
Your country is fucked in so many ways yet you see the solution as getting a person who is even more fucked to run the place?
American Psycho…….an apt description.
I see similarities here. We keep voting for the arsehole party so the arsehole party gets more emboldened to get more arseholes into positions of power.
The “yellow peril”, Trump, is not only a depraved unhinged racist and a repugnant bottom-pinching misogynist, he is a dangerously undemocratic megalomaniacal narcissist with delusions of grandeur! This is the lunatic who wanted to build a “wall” along the southern border of one of the largest multicultural nations on earth! Trump has PROVEN himself to be a thoroughly gormless, short-sighted, chest-beating, totally irrational political psychopath with a God complex! Like so many other political lunatics on the far-right-wing edge of ultra-conservative politics, Trump has absolutely NOTHING POSITIVE to contribute to society: no foresight, no plan, zero compassion – only a power-obsessed desire to rule through fear-mongering, xenophobic racism and a revolting, thoroughly ingrained contempt for women! Right-wing extremists, like Trump, Abbott, Morrison and Dutton, tick every box as unconscionable political psychopaths who continually generate hate and misogyny, incite racism, encourage division and foster fear and hatred in order to attain and maintain autocratic control and rule through manipulation and the vicious targeting of the poorest, most vulnerable people in the community! Only the most stupid, dumbed down, uneducated fools, misogynists and/or rusted-on racists support them! What is worse is that these revolting, born-to-rule, dangerously undemocratic sociopathic megalomaniacs in the right-wing will stoop to ANY low gutter level in order further enrich and empower THEMSELVES and their avaricious racist “mates” in the Top 1% at the expense of democratic egalitarianism!
And so the madness that the orange lunatic has helped to propogate in the USA continues unabated with DeSantis:
Hal 9000 or maybe Colossus has struck a blow against The Donald:
I still say that it was a red ink from a sharpie that he snapped in anger during the E Jean Carroll case in which the judge basically told him to shut the eff up.
Interesting that President Biden has ordered broad financial and travel sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.
May seem a strange issue for a US President to involve himself in but it needs to be understood that many of the so called ‘settlers’ in the occupied territories are US/Israeli dual citizens and by imposing sanctions Biden is hitting them where it hurts : these settlers generally have significant assets in the US and the sanctions will cut them off from the U.S. financial system and from accessing any American held assets or property. They also will be prevented from travelling to the United States or engaging in any commerce with people in the United States.
The US have been unable to influence Netanyahu to prevent settler incursions and this seems to be the only way that the US can bring direct pressure to bear by targetting the settlers individually. It confirms a report I read of Palestinian farmers who said that their olive groves had been destroyed and the land taken over by Americans – what they meant were the settler community who had migrated from the US.
