I’ve been with DU since 2008, thoroughly enjoyed the great presidential victory of my lifetime in 2008, suffered through the wretched, painful presidential loss of 2016, but then estactically indulged myself in happiness and joy in the “yuge” presidential win in 2020. I was going to post this during Trump’s era but for some reasons, I did not. Don’t know why! I guess I just don’t post often.

Fri Jul 9, 2021, 03:20 PM

Right there in that image:

Ivanka.

The one passion he has and the one thing he wants and lusts after - that’s forbidden. And he knows that. She’s his DAUGHTER for Pete’s sake. And he can’t have her in the same way he can have any other female on the planet, as he yearns to.

There’s nothing he’ll allow to stand - all the naysayers and political enemies and financial/real estate competitors - and he’s used to just mowing ‘em down anyway and dominating them and owning them in one form or other. Especially women.

And NONE of that applies to Ivanka. She’s the one unattainable. He hates unattainable-anything. And he’s been able to figure out how to dominate the game and wind up owning it. Except in her case. AND Jared Kushner and his grandchildren are in the way. And he is unable to consummate.

Ivanka is the ONE thing he wants most that he can’t have. Which means that’s always gonna be the one thing he still wants. After all, with him, it simply must be about conquering ALL.

A verse from this Don Henley song:
We’re like sheep without a Shepherd
Don’t know how to be alone
So we wonder round this desert
Wind up following the wrong gods home
And the Flock calls out for another
They keep answering that bell
One more starry eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell

With TFG's galactic sized ego you know he's not going to be satisfied with them wearing an overpriced red hat forever. No, he's going to demand real sacrifice from his acolytes, and since he already has most of their money, it's going to have to be flesh. Bedside money, that's his only other currency.
