The End is Near - Donald in the White House - January 2026

 

__________ 

“It is of great importance in a republic, not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been, and ever will be, pursued until it is obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.” 

James Madison

Looking lonely on the world stage.

  

MY APOLOGIES. As a dedicated blogger, determined to record the story of Donald J. Trump as president, and now neo-Fascist, for posterity, I have fallen miserably behind. I have set aside materials to cover January 2026 (and February) but have not yet sorted and assembled a proper narrative.

I admit, I have become bogged down in covering the Epstein Files, which I am addressing in separate posts. 

Trust me, that’s a shit show all its own.

 

IN A TASTE of what’s to come, once I get my act together: Donald flies to Davos, Switzerland, on January 19. He’ll spend the next five days at the World Economic Forum, meeting with 3,000 world leaders, from more than 130 countries. 

There will be much to discuss, such as: 

Tariffs (Donald loves them) 

Wars (The Dumpling brags about ending them) 

Greenland (Donald wants it – and might start a war to get it) 

More tariffs (Give Donald what his heart desires, or he’ll slape you even harder wit the tariffs; did we mention: He loves ’em?) 

NATO (the president hates it) 

Threats to U.S. security (Protesters in Minnesota? People Donald doesn’t like? Reporters? Jeffrey Epstein stories?)

Indeed, representatives from all our longtime allies are there, including leaders from Denmark, Canada and Great Britain, whose troops died fighting beside our men and women in Afghanistan. 

(Look it up, Trump fans.) 

 

As The Guardian, a British newspaper, will soon be forced to remind the world, “A total of 3,486 Nato troops died in the 20-year conflict, of which the majority, 2,461, were US service members. 

 

TRUMP’S PLANE has barely touched down before the President of the United States can get his thumbs warned up and post on Truth Social. For some bizarre reason, he decides to repost a message from “Bobby D” who has 164.7k “followers” on “X.”  

After all, what Leader of the Free World hasn’t relied on social media to pick up ideas on how to address complex issues affecting all the nations of the world? 

In any case, Bobby D posts this nugget: “So at what point are we going to realize the enemy is within? China and Russia are the boogeymen when the real threat is the U.N., NATO and this ‘religion.’ 

“I put ‘religion’ in quotes because it’s not a religion,” Bobby added. “It’s a [death] cult! Yeh, I went there.”

 

 

No insult intended to Bobby D, but I am guessing he has never been to Russia, that he can’t speak Mandarin, that he probably can’t find Denmark on a blank world map. I’m going to bet he knows next to nothing about the Russian and Chinese militaries, or their capabilities to do us harm. 

But Donald Dumpling is going to Bobby D to get ideas. 

A quick look at Bobby’s feed shows me that he basically posts clips of other social media persons, such as “Shannon [American flag emoji] I stand with America.” Shannon does the hard reporting, regarding international affairs, with posts like, “Students trending with teachers. All is not lost! This is a fun watch!” 

I’m a retired teacher, and it is, in truth, a fun watch. But I am not going to Shannon or Bobby D for NATO coverage. 

The Dumpling shouldn’t, either. 

 

ONLY NOW that The Dumpling is on the ground, he makes it infinitely worse. In a speech to gathered world leaders, he denigrates the sacrifices of other NATO members, and questions our allies resolve to come to our aid if we are attacked again. Bah, he says, their soldiers “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” in Afghanistan. 

He doesn’t think we can really count on our allies. It is true, of course, that we can no longer count on the 1,025 men and women from other NATO countries who died fighting to help us defeat the Taliban. You know: Those troops who “stayed a little back” but somehow got hit by bullets in the face, eviscerated by shrapnel from rocket-propelled grenades, or burned to death when their vehicles rolled over hidden mines. And we’re not even considering the thousands of allied soldiers who were maimed in combat. 

We do know, however, who can always be counted on to stay “a little back” during times of war. 

Namely: Members of the Trump clan, a family that since Friedrich Trump first landed in this country in 1885, has never sent a single, solitary member off to war.
