Punditry StaffNothing in today’s political divide aggravates as deeply the Fuhrer as the scrutiny Trump is experiencing from the U.S. Government, the media, and the public. It is, by far, the most discomforting agony the former President could ever feel as his life is under a gigantic microscope. There are a thousand eyes monitoring his every move and this makes him endure the most restricted life as compared to the previous one prior to 2016.
To bet that this was not what he had in mind is an understatement. Every Trump move today is recorded, monitored, exploited, and reported in the news or by the U.S. Government. Everyone who loves our democracy knows how a big of a threat he has become. For a con man, this is the worst environment. How can he pull a fast one with so many eyes on him? How can he maneuver freely with such scrutiny at every level? Trump must feel like a mafia boss who knows the feds are on his tail but nothing he will do will provide him the comfort he enjoyed prior to becoming the boss.
Ah … The good old days!
Hitler’s lesson learned.
PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Consider this reality. The January 6 Committee is investigating his past after he lost the 2020 elections. The national security agencies today are monitoring his present movements and activities to ensure his threat to our republic remains under control. And, we the public with our votes, are monitoring his future ready to spring into action to ensure he never returns to office again.
In brief, the man is in a cage of his own making.
Furthermore, the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid has killed any notion of security he may have harbored the result of his narcissistic personality. He knows now that he can no longer rely on the excuse of his past position to skirt the law as a private citizen. This, ladies and gentlemen, is ever so important in the scheme of the big picture. It controls his mentally deranged instincts to act and behave lawlessly.
It must be, without a doubt, the most frustrating thing he could ever experience considering how often, in the past, he has ignored the law. Nothing damages a narcissist like shackling him socially, financially, and politically. Today, like a cornered rat, he keeps looking for an exit that does not exist. He is living on the hope that if it existed in his past, it must exist now. No, it does not. The world is watching him carefully to make sure we are all safe.
Hitler’s lesson learned.
Meanwhile, the feds are constantly looking for a weak link in that entourage to flip on him. At least, we hope so.
THE BEST AND THE WORST PARTS
Of course, under this scenario about the scrutiny Trump is experiencing, it has its shortcomings.
Such close scrutiny invites ink and pixels to highlight his activities. Ask any psychiatrist about the nutrients that feed an extreme narcissist and they will not hesitate to tell you it’s undivided attention. Unfortunately, while monitoring Trump keeps the country out of danger, its side effects is that it feeds his sick personality due to the attention he garners.
The only way to control that part of our scrutiny is to use the many investigations and legal woes he has to defend against to get him constantly planning and prodding his exit. In other words, the busier he gets saving his own skin, the less likely he has time to monitor the news to feed on its blood like a vampire. Trump needs to spend hours every day meeting with his lawyers and strategizing over his own troubles to hold him in the fort locked and forgotten. While the rest of sleep better.
The resources Trump has at his disposal, after leaving the White House, are a skeleton if compared to his time as President. Not only he has to pay for his own advisers, lawyers, and hacks, but he must also continually look over his shoulder to monitor those around him. He is incessantly asking himself: Could that person or the other cause him more damage? This unmitigated layer of tracking loyalty demands much supervision of his own entourage. Time he does not spend on harming the republic.
Meanwhile, the feds are constantly looking for a weak link in that entourage to flip on him. At least, we hope so.
