By Any Other Name

According to the dictionaries, “trump” means overbearing falsifier/swindler and is a corruption of triumph, fittingly suggesting that the unholy “First” Family’s dumping of “Drumpf as its official surname might have really been entirely, uncharacteristically veracious. D.J.’s whoremaster/casino-operator grandpa plus his grasping racist real-estate cheat pater simply had to generate a creep in his mold. Lying in state always was a proper kismet for the pushiest of politicos, and betrayed MAGAts can only hope to witness it sooner than later.

Speaking now of a banal misnomer, nearly all commentators on both sides of the Atlantic still blithely misguide their audiences when misusing those fictitious monikers, “America” and “Americans.” The extraordinary navigator Amerigo Vespucci deserved a better testimonial, although that paleface no more discovered the incomparable “New World” than Columbus did. Real trumpery has spread like plague across this land since 1492. As I apprised the drowsy Weekly Guardian some 20 years past, all the Inuit, Venezuelans and Patagonians are factual Americans; so are Canucks and Mexicans. No doub ’twas some dim-witted 17th century English “lord” who firstly forged and yapped that aphoney clanger apropos his Negroid slave plantation on the western continent, which that abhorrent profiteer may well never even bothered cruising to. Considering the gruesome chain gang of U.S. administrations’ brazen plunder of so many gullible “sovereign” states’ resources over the last 75 years, it’s no surprise that “ordinary” dopes cannot discern their own society’s imperialist megalomania (evinced by these linguistic howlers) and delusion that “coloreds” don’t belong here. Euros, Asians, Africans, Pacific Islanders must realize that Yankees such as DJT, J. Edgar Hoover or Roy Cohn could never GO HOME truly, since their vile careers some time ago subverted that mere prospect. Yup, it’s a neurotic scam, an antiquated sham, to keep on claiming for the U.S. exclusive ownership of both North and South Hemispheres. That’s a hallucination truly Trumpist — namely, a very mad man’s.
