Why should not Donald Trump’s foul mouth be declared a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD)? Can the megalomaniacal TV personality actually educate us about anything of value? Well, as surprising as it may seem, we can procure many lessons, in fact, if given due consideration.
Menace to Society
For starters, it is startling that a man with Trump's education can have such poor command of grammar and syntax. I mean, he did attend Fordham University and the Wharton School of Business, after all. Most of the time, the man speaks and sounds like a buffoon with a complete lack of filter, particularly when he gives public speeches.
During which the clown-in-chief typically goes off-script and makes a mockery of himself, the nation, as well as whatever topics and/or policies he is addressing and, in the process, manages to offend at least one group or sector of the population, if not more.
The man is a menace to society and threat to our national security. His mouth should be declared a Weapon Of Mass Destruction. For those who may not know or are unclear about the terminology, a WMD is a biological, radioactive, and/or chemical weapon capable of causing widespread chaos, destruction, and death. Trump is the epitome of this definition, as evidenced by his inflammatory rhetoric, caustic personality, and total disregard for diplomacy.
Consequently, he has repeatedly offended every minority group in our society and continues to spout his venom, as well as his trademark vile innuendos, at every opportunity.
What's that you say?
Trump has been publicly called out for emboldening white nationalists, neo-nazis, and KKK members with his boldly racist comments and attitudes.
To add further insult to injury, Trump used his executive power to issue a presidential pardon to former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt in the Summer of 2017 for defying a judge's order that his deputies stop detaining immigrants because they lacked legal status. Arpaio and his cronies carried on this discriminatory practice for 18 months.
Yet, Trump refers to him as "a great American patriot" who has done "a lot in the fight against illegal immigration." Excuse me while I gag.
Then, of course, let us not forget Trump's crusade to build a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which was one of his chief campaign promises. He has gone so far as to threaten to shut down the Federal Government if the funding for his border wall is not approved, all the while attempting to get the Mexican Government to pay for the wall, which they have refused to do under any circumstances. Trump has repeatedly referred to illegal immigrants, specifically all Mexicans, as "criminals, murderers, rapists, and thieves." He claims they are the scum of the earth and have brought filth into our country.
His insistence on classifying all illegal immigrants as a stereotype brings ignorance and arrogance to a new level.
Misogynist to the end
Please do not even get me started on how Trump has maligned and degraded the feminine persuasion. From his vicious attacks on his female counterparts to his odious tweet rants, Trump's malicious intent is crystal clear, and he does not even bother to feign tolerance or acceptance. He is all about getting a rise out of the public and keeping the spotlight squarely on himself. Yet, the businessman-turned-politician claims he loves women and defends them.
Moreover, he proposes they are big fans of him. Honestly, it is like he is living in an alternative universe, or delusional state, whichever explanation best suits your view.
Has he read the transcripts of his comments about the fairer sex, particularly in regards to his female rivals? As a woman, let me clarify the situation--Trump has not done the female gender any favors nor has he shown us even a modicum of respect. He does not represent or defend us in any way, and our sex has come much too far ever to garner favor with a misogynist like him.
As Trump marks his first year in the Oval Office, it has been nothing more than a comedy of errors and a tragedy for our nation. He has made our nation look arrogant, foolish, and malevolent. His actions and rhetoric make it look like the inmates are running the asylum. Trump is a bigoted misogynist with contempt for all groups and notions different from his own.
He would prefer to run our nation as a dictatorship or totalitarian nation where he could bark orders and hand out edicts, as he is accustomed to doing as a TV personality and in his business dealings. However, the United States does not work that way and will not abide by his bidding, as he is reluctantly realizing.
Perhaps the most relevant lesson Donald Trump's foul mouth can teach us is that he is an equal opportunity offender, and he would like to regress our nation back to the days of indentured servitude and isolationism.
