The universe began when Trump became aware of it, and will end when (if) he dies. Simple.

> And this looks like that exact dynamic in action.

I’d bet it’s more like Japan “negotiating” with the US just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese diplomats were sent in to “negotiate” by their leaders, which leaders knew full well was nothing more than a distraction while they planned to open a war with the US, regardless of what happened during the “negotiations”.

The only difference is, the Trump administration’s incompetence gave away the plot before they were ready to spring their trap.

Trump has no interest in a “deal” with these “woke universities”. He plans to destroy them, but wants them to be begging for his indulgence the entire time. Indulgence that he will enjoy refusing them, instead demanding ever greater displays of obedience.

I think it is appropriate to note here that in the first recurrence of Felon-ONE’s presidency, today is Easter, and Easter this year falls on Adolph Schicklgruber’s birthday. Somehow that seems like a fitting convergence.

Speaking of which we have Trump’s traditional Easter rant, rather like the king’s Christmas broadcast but with more spittle.

> Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing – But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

I wouldn’t be too surprised if he bought into some variation on Musk’s idea that the universe is a simulation and _he’s_ the center of it, with the rest of us just “NPCs”. Just with himself instead of Musk as the center of the universe and only real person.

His supporters are _exactly_ like he is in that. They eat it up because they believe it. So, they want him to continue it becuase not only do they _want_ it to be true; they _believe_ it to be true.

I don’t know, I have difficulty believing this solipsism idea, as the temper tanTrump is too full of hate and lust for revenge and vindictiveness (see rant quoted by **Buck\_Godot** , for instance) to be the center of the universe. Everything would be much more to his liking if he really was, would it not? The deep unhappiness and frustration this rant exposes shows that he knows he is not god, immortal or in command.  
Then again, I may be missing something, but I have no whish to analize his sick brain any deeper. Everything he touches turns to shit, I want to keep my distance. I mean, he even just killed the Pope by merely sending his VP JD to visit for a single minute. That is how sick he is.

When I saw the news a little while ago, my first thought was “did JD kill him?”. Shall we share a handbasket?

I’d gladly give that handbasked to VP JD. He did it, not me. He is doomed for all eternity.

People are also saying that it’s “Reminiscent of the Queen meeting Liz Truss and dying immediately afterwards.”

Because of \*\ ***eschereal** ’\*\*s Poiice Synchronicity II lyric quote? “Shadow on the door” does sound ominous. Interesting that Sting goes from Lake to Loch to Lake again (with no particular rhyme reasons).

If we’re talking about Barron? To look at him, he _seems_ intelligent. What’s his SAT’s and GPA?

I mean, holy shit,

- Harvard.
- Stanford.
- Columbia

In my days, circa Synchronicity, I had to write basically “cover letters” to apply to universities. And like everyone else, if return envelope felt like it was one page (and was) it was a “no”.

I wasn’t able to write “My father is President. Admit me or shit will rain over Ivy league schools around the world.”

(BTW if not known, Trump used to call into NYC reporters in the late 80’s/90’s as “John Barron” who worked for Donald J. Trump basically with the message that DJT the cup of human kindness)

Of course Obama only got into Columbia and Harvard because he was black and vaguely an American Citizen. Trump is going to attack every shred of Ivy League Schools his little mind can conjure. I would not want to be Barron (the fake or real one) if some school lets him in.

To be fair, JD had no idea that this was the plan . . . and we know this because there is no Signal leak of it.

(first I heard)

If the Pope was well enough to grant that fucking Hillbllly an audience (I believe after said JD shithead complained about it) then that ought to be a contributing cause of death.

And both he and Trump and Bibi will be bitching and complaining about who the next Pope will be. Fuck them all.
