“I COULDN’T CARE LESS”

Two days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Trump made a previously-scheduled appearance on Fox & Friends, where he announced the arrest of the gunman, which arrest he said had occurred just moments before.  As reported by ABC News, “Trump was asked [by co-host Ainsley Earhardt] about the presence of radical individuals on both sides of the aisle and how it can be fixed to bring the country together.  You can watch the Fox & Friends clip here:  https://www.foxnews.com/video/6379207542112.

Here is a transcript of the exchange between Ms. Earhardt and the President:

“Because we have radicals on the right as well. We have radicals on the left. People have gotten [sic] are watching all of these videos and cheering. Some people are cheering that Charlie was, was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?" co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked the president.

"I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. They don't want to see crime. Worried about the border. They're saying, We don't want these people coming in. We don't want you burning our shopping centers. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street," Trump said. 

"The radicals on the left are the problem," Trump continued, "and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy, although they want men and women sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders."

In the Fox & Friends video, the President of the United States simply shrugs his shoulders and smirks when Ms. Earhardt asks what he will do to fix radicalism on both sides of the aisle to bring the country back together.  He says he couldn’t care less.  Think about that for a moment.

 

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about ending the extreme partisanship that is destroying the country.

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about bringing people back together. 

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about excusing—even glorifying-- radicals on the right, as American patriots fighting crimes against the United States.

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about blaming—even vilifying--radicals on the left, as American traitors committing crimes against the United States.  

And the President of the United States couldn’t care less about linking transgender people and immigrants to the radicals on the left, making them potentially vulnerable to political violence.

The President of the United States calls himself a Christian, yet he said he hopes Charlie Kirk's killer gets the death penaltyWhen he took the oath of office for his second term, the President of the United States did not put his hand on the Bible to swear before God that he would perform his duties to the best of his abilities.  For all his Christian cosplay, the President of the United States couldn’t care less about Christian values or about God. 

In a speech to Congress this yearthe President of the United States called his presidency the most successful in the nation's history, second only to that of George Washington.  And yet, although he promised on January 20, 2025: 

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States 

Donald Trump has failed to perform the most basic of those presidential duties:  to represent, protect, and defend against harm all persons in the United States.  

For all his Christian and presidential cosplay, the President of the United States couldn't care less about any of those things.  He cares only about himself.

Keep it real!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS

A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini, Antonio Gramsci, Italian philosopher and politician,  was imprisoned for his political views in 1926; he remained in prison until shortly before his death in 1937.   From his cell, he wrote the  Prison Letters in which he famously said, “I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."   In this time of upheaval, when the post-World War II world order is dying, a new world order is being born, and monsters roam the earth, it is from Gramsci's dual perspective that I write this post.    I will be brief. Th e window to oppose America’ s headlong rush into authoritarianism at home and neo-imperialism abroad by congressional or judicial means has closed.   Law firms, universities, businesses, the press, media, foundations, and individuals alike who have been deemed "insufficiently aligned" with the Administration's agenda, have been intimidated into submission by frivolous lawsuits, expe...

A MONTH IN JAPAN – TOKYO, NOVEMBER 5 - 6, 2025

November 5, 2025 – Shibuya, Daikanyama, and Shinjuku The Lonely Planet Pocket Guide to Tokyo  "Walk Shibuya" describes Shibuya. Thanks to its iconic intersection, Shibuya serves as a kind of visual shorthand for Tokyo in the global imagination.   The thrumming crowds, glowing lights and giant video screens that you associate with the city?   They’re all here – and turned up to the max.   Shibuya is a center for youth culture, and particularly fashion, music and nightlife; it’s among the best places in the city for clubbing [Me:  "Oh, to be 20 again!"], live music and shopping….To the west are the hip residential enclaves of Daikanyama and Naka-Meguro; these neighborhoods …can give you an alternative image of life in the capital – one that’s low-rise and low-key (but still very Tokyo).    Shibuya Station We took the Chiyoda Line from Nezu Station a few blocks from our apartment, transferred to the Hamzomon Line at Otemachi Station, and got off at ...
