TRUMP

WHY TRUMP MUST BE DEFEATED 223
they think only of themselves, if they cannot pause to appreciate the
beauty of flowers or the laughter of children?
Actually, such people can be happy pretty easily. After all, Trump
is the president. His life is probably great. He is universally feared.
He can have anything he wants. He can grab whomever he likes by
whatever parts of their anatomy, and one can be sure he is too busy
enjoying being one of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the
history of human civilization to lament the absence of “kind little
moments with strangers” in his life.
It may be comforting to tell ourselves that Trump isn’t really happy.
He is unfulfilled, alone, bitter. And perhaps this is true. Love and
warmth are very nourishing things. Having them is nice. But hatred
can feel pretty great, too. And if we tell ourselves that Trump is crying
on the inside, we may be (1) wrong and (2) making excuses for
our own inaction. If justice works itself out no matter what, because
people who are villainous end up unhappy, and people who are good
end up happy, then there is nothing we need do; karma works everything
out in the end. If, on the other hand, good people do suffer, and
bad people have great lives and a good time, then it is incumbent on
human beings to adjust the scale and make sure people receive the
outcomes they deserve.
The truth is that nobody is out there making sure evildoers are punished.
Evildoers make out quite well a lot of the time. The only way
to make sure they don’t is to actually stop them. Thus: if Trump’s life
doesn’t end where it should (with Trump in prison, or fired into outer
space), then there will be no justice. It is the responsibility of Earth’s
population to ensure that the story of Trump has a moral at the end.
If they don’t then the lesson of Donald Trump’s life will be: act like an
asshole and you can inherit the world.
Justice requires that Trump’s career end in ruin. He can’t be allowed
to get away with it. 678
