Donald Trump is a very rude person who seems to enjoy hurling insults and ridiculing others, but he draws a line when it comes to others being critical of him. Trump's business dealings, personal wealth, and taxes are shrouded in secrecy, and so too are aspects of his governance that might potentially prove embarrassing to the pompous ex-reality star.
When it became public knowledge a couple of weeks ago that a government employee had come forward under the protection of a "whistle blower" law and revealed information from a telephone call that Trump had with the President of Ukraine, Trump lashed out at the process as well as the whistle blower. He has referred to the person who revealed the information variously as a partisan (although he also admitted not knowing who the person was), a traitor, and a spy.
The person's unsolicited revelation smacked of disloyalty (at least in Trump's mind) to Donald John Trump, and by extension, to the United States of America. Trump is the United States (again - in Trump's mind), and revealing damaging information about him is a direct betrayal of America.
A partisan, a traitor, and a spy! Oh my!
Donald Trump wants to know the identity of this employee of his who dared to reveal that Trump had tried to strong-arm the President of Ukraine into digging up dirt, or inventing dirt, on Joe Biden's son. Trump's business - even when it involves American foreign policy - is Trump's business and no one else's, or so he thought.
Trump sent some of his most trusted lieutenants into the field of battle to learn the name of the person whose meddling had given him so much grief, no doubt with thoughts of extreme retribution fueling his ardor to know. People like former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, an unpaid lawyer whose mouth always out-paces his brain, Representative Jim Jordan, a failed locker room shower attendant, and Senator Lindsey Graham, a drama queen of the first water, eagerly entered into the quest to defame the squealer and hopefully learn that person's name and report it back to the Retaliator-in-Chief.
Congressional committees working on the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry, an effort that germinated in the political manure of Trump's efforts to involve a foreign government in an American election, are preparing to interview the whistle blower, and news reports indicate that the committee chairs are looking for ways to conduct the interviews that would protect the identity of the witness, particularly from Republican representatives on the committees who might gleefully rush back and tell Trump the name of the rat. There are those who fear that if the whistle blower becomes known, that person will face career-ruin, and possibly physical harm - or worse.
And as that bit of theatre makes its way to the stage, there are reports that another whistle blower has come forward with information that will corroborate that given by the first. Trump, who relishes and wallows in being a self-proclaimed victim, will likely respond to this new outrage by tweeting until his thumbs bleed. Another partisan, traitor, and spy to identify, disparage, and destroy!
I recently saw on Twitter where Bette Midler admitted that she was the whistle blower, and I thought wouldn't it be fun to watch Donald Trump try to destroy her. Bette would grind him up like sausage and feed him to the hogs. Other celebrities and quite a few ordinary citizens have also come forward to claim the mantle of the whistle blower who ratted Trump out and began the process of taking down his current reality show. Trump may scare the bejeezus out of a light-weight like Lindsey Graham, but to much of America he has revealed himself as being nothing but a dim-witted bully - someone to be dealt with rather than feared.
This rush to remove him from office is (in Trump's mind) the fault of the whistle blower, a glorified tattle-tale, and it has nothing to do with Trump's own low intellect, inability to lead, and inept political machinations. Whistle blowers are un-American (partisans, traitors, and spies) and Donald John Trump does not like them.
Another thing that I saw on Twitter that caught my attention as a not-so-subtle way to show contempt for Trump is for individuals to begin packing whistles, and blow them at Trump's rallies or anytime they chance upon Trump in a public setting. And if Republicans ever held town halls, they would be fun to use there as well!
That, of course, would be rude - like Trump!
