The wipeout of the Donald Trump and his Republican minions in the Nov. 3, 2026 midterm elections in the US in the revenge of rational voters against the MAGA cult headed by Trump, whose last documented IQ at the New York Military Academy was 73, an indication that his mind is impoverished, his conscience is shot, and his grifting, corruption, malignant narcissism and pedophilia finally registered in the minds of American voters who dumped Trump, his acolytes running for Senate, House and statehouse positions nationwide.
Moreover, it proved that Elon Musk, the long-time pretender who claimed to have founded Tesla (he did not), SpaceX (which thrived because of the work of other engineers, and now owns X (which has funneled fascist tropes, conspiracy theories and propagated lies) and spent $474-million to support GOP candidates, is a fluke, and his funding Trump puppets showed he cannot read the room with his narcotic-addled mind. The money politics justified by the Citizen United decision of 2010 (the US Supreme Court ruled that corporations are free to spend for their chosen candidates, which means no limit to buying influence and getting their laws passed and their policies implemented) will not mean much when a discerning electorate realizes that Trump and his clones are not governing but merely profiting.
Worse, Musk is now mulling a run for the presidency in 2028 even if US law forbids anyone not born in the US and acquired citizenship at birth to run for the position. Musk also faces possible denaturalization after he admitted he had violated the terms of his student visa. Trump and Musk destroyed the US bureaucracy with their DOGE scheme, which failed to trim the federal bureaucracy since the misfits came with Trump, and the US lost trillions of dollars when hundreds of thousands of employees were kicked out and Musk gained control of data that he used to secure huge profits for his corporations. Musk, Peter Thiel and David Sacks, the trio that believes pathocracy is better than democracy, which has “outlived” its purpose, and apartheid is even better.
Trump was enabled by this trio and Trump blessed them with contracts and policies that stifled their competition, with Thiel and Musk cornering defense and NASA contracts. All of these contracts will now be investigated by the House of Representatives and the Senate. Yet, there is another deal that the Senate should investigate. This concerns the strange “sale” of more than 19% of the Russian corporation Rosneft that deals with oil and other energy products to shell companies in the Cayman Islands, with the acquisition financed by the VTB, a Russian bank. This deal came after Trump withheld the sale of missiles to Ukraine, Musk’s disruption of the Starshield satellite communication system used by Ukraine and the suspension of the sanctions on the sale of Russian oil.
With this deal, Trump may as well be Krasnov, or Red, the supposed codename of Trump, after the KGB groomed him to be an asset. When he was going under, Trump visited Moscow and his Florida projects were sold out to Russians. In gratitude, Trump advertised in US newspapers to denounce NATO, as the Russians wished. With Trump’s cataclysmic midterm losses, Americans finally understood that he is not worth the adult diapers he is wearing, courtesy of Natalie Harp. His empty threats are now being laughed at, along with his tortured excuse that he was not responsible for the political disaster as his paid listeners in indoor rallies took to the exits after their ears couldn’t take Trump’s rhetoric anymore. He has outlived his entertainment value and protesters took over, blasting him right at his rallies.
But his stupidity is even worse, as when he insisted that tariffs would replace income taxes and that the exporters would pay the tariffs. This is vintage Trump, as former US President Bill Clinton said. Trump had been enamored with tariffs, which the US dumped as the principal source of revenue to finance government operations at the turn of the 20th century, long before he entered politics. The idea lives in Trump’s little mind, rent-free. Trump certainly swims in a lake of personality disorders. Polish psychologist Andrew Lobaczewski has an apt description for him. He is a pathocrat, an individual with personality disorders (particularly psychopathy), who occupies a position of power. Under Lobaczewski’s field called “ponerology,” or the study of evil, scholars seek to understand why “evil” people prosper and the good ones languish. Autocrats like Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban of Hungary, President Erdoğan of Turkey and former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte have tried to dismantle the opposition while Trump has terribly failed to trample his enemies.
Writing for Psychology Today on May 21, 2024, Dr. Steve Taylor said only a small segment of humans suffers from personality disorders such as narcissism and psychopathy. People with these disorders lust for power. “People with narcissistic personality disorder desire constant attention and affirmation. They feel that they are superior to others and have the right to dominate them. They also lack empathy, which means that they are able to ruthlessly exploit and abuse others in their lust for power. Psychopaths feel a similar sense of superiority and lack of empathy, but the main difference between them and narcissists is that they don’t feel the same impulse for attention and adoration. To an extent, the impulse to be adored acts as a check on the behavior of narcissists. They are reluctant to do anything that might make them too unpopular. But psychopaths have no such qualms,” Taylor explained.
“A significant part of the problem is the attraction that many people feel to charismatic demagogues. You can see this in the appeal of President Trump, despite the obvious flaws – his extreme narcissism, lack of empathy and his distorted, delusory view of reality – of his personality disorder. Psychologically, this is very similar to the attraction of spiritual gurus, who often attract the blind devotion of disciples, despite unethical and exploitative behavior. The attraction of gurus and demagogues is a deep-rooted impulse to return to the childhood state of worshipping parents who seem omnipotent and infallible and could take complete responsibility for our lives, and magically solve our problems. At the same time, the paranoia of pathological leaders leads them to demonize other groups and creates an intoxicating sense of group identity with a common purpose,” he argued.#
