January 9, 2021: "Trump is a Political David Koresh"

 

1/9/21: It would be cliché to say that, for President Trump, this was the week the “wheels came off the bus.” It’s more like the brakes failed. The bus careened off the highway, crashed through a guardrail and went over a cliff, smashing up in a ravine 800 feet below. The mangled wreck landed on its roof and burst into flames. According to investigators the driver and all his passengers were killed.

 

In a search of the driver’s apartment, law enforcement officers discover that he has left a suicide tweet.

 

He admits he cut his own brake lines.

David Koresh.

It’s an irrefutable fact that this week, the president’s second National Security Advisor, Gen. H. R. McMaster, said our country was in its current fix because “the sad reality [is] that President Trump and other officials have repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain.”

 

We know for a fact that Trump’s third National Security Advisor, John Bolton, has written an entire book about what a dangerous liar the president is. “I don’t think he’s fit for office,” he has said.

 

The final word for today, and really any other day, goes to Billy Piper, former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader McConnell. It’s just too bad that so many Trump fans will never listen.

 

Referring to Trump, he chooses an apt, but chilling comparison. He likens the president to the religious cult leader who died with 75 of his followers in a fiery cataclysm at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas in 1993.

 

“Trump is a political David Koresh,” Piper says. “He sees the end coming and wants to burn it all down and take as many with him as possible.”

Koresh’s loyal followers considered him to be divinely inspired. But as writers for Texas Monthly described him in 1993, he was a “notorious liar and con man” who “prophesized” a “Holy War.”

 

In a shootout and fire at the compound where Koresh and his followers lived, 76 members of his group, including 25 children, a pair of pregnant women, and Koresh himself were killed.
