~SUMMARY~
In unguarded conversations released this week, President Trump’s older sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, exposed him to the world for what he is: a cruel, ignorant grifter. This revelation would end any other politician’s career. Donald’s response? “Every day it’s something else. Who cares?” He’s counting on voters to lose track of his multitudinous outrages and depravities. The effect is similar to an aspect of Superman lore: Kryptonite (Trump’s crimes, scandals) is deadly to the superhero. A lot of Kryptonite ultimately will kill him. But massive amounts cancel out its deadly effects. When Donald’s crimes, scandals, and malfeasant outrages are exposed on a daily basis, he retains his power through long-term desensitization of the electorate to his transgressions. He’s counting on enough of the country not to “care.” The existing damage to our nation is about to increase exponentially as the November election looms. The cornered in-fear-of-indictment rat is losing and desperate. It will get worse. And the period between his election loss and Joe Biden’s inauguration? (scroll down for full article)

The Trump Doctrine
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base. … He has no principles. None. … You can’t trust him. … And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this. … His g*dd*mned tweeting and lying, oh my God. I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy sh**. … He doesn’t read. … It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel. … He was a brat. I did his homework for him. I drove him around New York City to try to get him into college. He went to Fordham [for two years] and then he got into University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams. SATs or whatever. … That’s what I believe. I even remember the name … Joe Shapiro.”

“Every day it’s something else. Who cares?”
(Trump, Donald, R-Fla., U.S. president; statement issued in response to release of secretly recorded 2018-19 tapes of former federal judge, president’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry; 8/23/2020.)
In a series of unguarded conversations taped over the past two years and released this week, President Trump’s older sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, exposed him to the world for what he is: a cruel, ignorant grifter. It’s apparently the first time any family member has publicly spoken a discouraging word about the president (with the obvious exception of his Ph.D. psychologist niece, and recorder of the sister tapes, Mary Trump and her recently released book).
This revelation would end any other politician’s career. Donald’s response? “Every day it’s something else. Who cares?”
He’s counting on this.
He counts on voters to be numb, in shock, to lose track of his multitudinous outrages and depravities. The effect is similar to an aspect of Superman lore: Kryptonite (in this case: Trump’s crimes and scandals) is deadly to the superhero. A lot of Kryptonite ultimately will kill him. But massive amounts of the fatal element cancel out its deadly effects. When Superman is laid unconscious upon a mountain of Kryptonite by the supervillain trying to finish off the Man of Steel, he regains his powers, his vitality.
When Donald’s growing mountain of crimes, scandals, and malfeasant outrages are exposed on a daily basis, he retains his power, his political vitality, through long-term desensitization of the electorate to his transgressions. There are just too many to keep track of, too many to analyze, too many to prosecute. “And besides, nobody can be that bad.”
He’s counting on his mantra, “Who cares?” He’s counting on enough of the country not to care.

This presidential rat is being pushed further and further into a corner. He knows he’s losing, and he’s willing to do anything — anything — to try and win, to avoid near-certain indictment after leaving office. The existing damage caused by the Trump presidency is about to increase exponentially as the November election looms. There is no bottom. It will get worse.
And the period between his election loss and Joe Biden’s inauguration? ■
