The Fall of an Emperor (Kind Of)

Falling from grace isn't easy.  I can feel Trump's pain.  His political savvy was so inspired, the only way to fell his power was to take away his money.  I read two articles today, one in the Washington Post and one in the Fayetteville Observer which finally touched upon the strife being felt by the American people.  The big white dynasty is going to fall, and the kingpin had to come down first.  "Kill the officers!"  My friends say Trump only is a cog in the wheel, but he was a self-proclaimed cult leader who led the fringe masses to drink the CoolAid.  It does suggest that foreign Communist influences were pulling the puppet strings.  Russian collusion was not proven, but we knew that Donald Trump had a fondness for Communist dictators.  That is enough.  The American GOP SuperPacs hopped on the train, but Trump went off the rails.  It is sad for America to see this happening, falling from grace.  The American Dream, fame, fortune, success, and power harvested from a tilled, planted, and fertilized Capitalist free market.  "The Art of the Deal" says Trump was not a capable businessman.  He was a shyster.  He ripped people off, but he got rich doing it.  Or did he?  The case against him is based on inflated values, saying you have more than you do.  Until the culmination of the civil trail, we won't know what he had.  Keeping it secret was part of the methodology.  To see Trump sitting in court, his business licenses stripped from him, facing divestment of of the entire Trump Organization...  The Trump Tower, his holy grail of achievement taken from him...  It is reminiscent of the prosecution John Gotti, boss of the Gambino crime family in New York.  Donald Trump has style and charisma, and he talks the talk.  It took him a long way, but trying to commandeer the leadership of the free world through tyranny was too much.  This is what needs to be remembered.  It is not the American Dream gone wrong.  It is a traitor being brought to justice.
