USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Of this you can be certain : God will definitely stop Trump

"My people ! Dear God ! " - Archie Shepp : Malcolm, Malcolm - Semper Malcolm

From the sublime to the mundane:

Don't fall apart on me tonight …( Dylan, Sly, Robbie)

Cornel West: US is facing moral collapse and democratic decay | Talk to Al Jazeera

Poor Trump

me dreaming of not Melanie

but Lady Bird Johnson

racialised colours, he, skin-white,

peroxide orange-blonde hair,

words like "great" always hanging out

on his lips and visions of "greatness" -

his place in history always on his mind -

as in " When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind"

Right now, our main concern is IRAN ( https://www.google.com/search?q=Press+TV)

Dear Iran

Air Force One

Not God but

America First

"The Beast"

USA's Trump

either Muslim underdog,

taghut radical Christian

right-wing supremacist

supreme leader of the

United States of America

which he so desperately

wants to "make great again",

upbeat, saying 'It would be great' if US 'didn't have to use' military force on Iran .

Hallel-u-jah !

Laborare est orare

Hopefully, America's most hardworking Trump

will live longer -if he substitutes diplomacy for force

because if he uses force, the whole Muslim Ummah

will pray for his rapid demise, i.e. his total termination

by the sword, and that too is written, Jesus saying to Peter,

"Put away your sword,for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."

Precisely as Nobel Laureate Dylan put it - in Masters of War -

long before he became a Nobel Laureate

" But there's one thing I know

Though I'm younger than you

That even Jesus would never

Forgive what you do"

Hopefully, Trump will live longer -

and be loved by more than love him today

if he substitutes diplomacy for force

because the Ummah prays everyday

at least seventeen times a day

sami allahu liman hamidah rabbana wa lakal hamd

It's an all-Nigerian expletive most usually heard by both pedestrians and drivers driving as if the devil was chasing them on the rainy season pot-hole roads that were to be endured in the environs of Mile One Market, Rumuola Junction, and on the long, extended, muddy stretch between downtown Port Harcourt and Owerri, the exclamation, in reality and by unholy intention, a curse : " God punish you !" when you narrowly escape death at the hands of the danfo driver at the wheel ( the steering wheel) - " God punish you" - because - thank God - he narrowly missed translating you from life to eternal death, after which - after the questions in the grave , for an eternity you await the resurrection - if at all - followed by your standing naked and transparent and afraid, on the dreaded Day of Judgement - maybe , sun shining, before the throne of Justice before the good guys and dolls are ceremoniously awarded the fruits of eternal salvation in Paradise - as Jesus said to the thief beside him on the cross, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise" -so there's hope for the thief yet - everyday for the thief - quoting the Bible that way, giving succour to corruption, but have no fear :

"Every day the bucket a-go a-well

One day the bottom a-go drop out

One day the bottom a-go drop out"

" God punish you!" because due to your negligence - not looking where you're going in the crazy crowded metropolis, you almost made the danfo driver knock you down - and I almost wrote - almost got me transubstantiated (transmogrification) by the enraged Danfo Driver, delivering instant, albeit only temporary, temporal salvation at that spur of the moment

The first time I heard it - escaping death "by the skin of my teeth" and realised it was being hurled at me, I almost jumped out of my skin. " God punish you ! " I heard him scream. With that kind of expletive still ringing in my ears - ah wishful thinking - you can well imagine how easily in a flight of punitive fancy - vengeance - "Of this you can be certain : God will definitely stop Trump" - like a Freudian slip could so easily be transmuted into " Of this you can be certain : God will definitely punish Trump" - but -"Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"

Donald Trump -

Commander-in-Chief of the recently renamed and upgraded Department of War

to be further upgraded by a one and a half trillion dollar surge

"cocked and loaded" -

that's his usual braggadocio cowboy lingo

always charming, folksy, slight Texan drawl

when Baby Bush

a real Texan talked like that

no Professor of political psychology

would ever faintly suggest that Baby Bush was a

"deranged egomaniac"

Indeed , clown

standing naked or dressed in the emperor's gown

let who the cap fits wear the emperor's crown

And of course, Brer Trump himself if he had
the culture, the class and the oratorical skills of a Cicero
or Shakespeare's Caesar, then speaking in his usual
braggadocio mode he would have been boasting

"Danger knows full well
That Caesar is more dangerous than he.
We are two lions littered in one day,
And I the elder and more terrible."

Trump's Maga-maniacal American pathos
as in this poem by Allen Polite

IRNA

https://www.google.com/search?q=IRNA

The American saying is that " God don't like ugly." - such as ICE in Minnesota

What deal does Trump have in his binoculars?

There was the Iran Nuclear Deal agreed on 14th July 2015, and Trump tore it up as soon as he was elected US President and then passed his punitive sanctions on Iran, to the delight of his buddy Netanyahu. Trump has not stopped bragging about how he "obliterated" Iran's nuclear research facilities, last year. So what's troubling him now? All this threatening brimstone and fire, precisely because he knows that Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. Would Trump dare with the same kind of bluster and bravado - to send his so-called "Armada " to North Korea? Russia? China? Of course not, because he knows what would happen, even if he hasn't yet seen the movie " Dead Man Walking."

If these medical assessments are correct, then, not thinking about wholehearted repentance before the Day of Judgment

(a) Trump could be in a mode that's best described as " armed, insane and most dangerous"

(b) It's clear that before he finally kicks the bucket and departs for Valhalla ( the Great Beyond where real warriors fight from dusk to dawn) the deranged egomaniac would like to rename the Persian Gulf to his own glory, would want it to be identified on all future maps either as " Donald Trump's Gulf" or " The Gulf of the Great America"
