Fifth

Americans are not stupid. We all know why Trump took the fifth. Between confessing a crime and  avoiding self incrimination, most Americans will do the latter by invoking the Fifth Amendment to our Constitution. The Fifth Amendment is a sacred to Trump supporters as the Second Amendment. No one can blame Trump for not admitting wrongdoing. His supporters know his style. They will not take this against him. Instead, they will be even more proud of their mafia-like boss. All they want is that Trump keeps fighting the elite establishment that is changing "their" country and leaving them behind in a globalized and highly complex world.

Americans are not stupid. Trump is an American. Trump is not stupid. Trump will not help the legal establishment prove cases against him. Trump will take the fifth plus grift his supporters to pay for his legal defense. 

Nothing will happen to Trump. His supporters will keep loving him unconditionally. If allowed to run. Trump will most likely become the Republican nominee for President in 2024. Trump will have a good shot at defeating the elite establishment again to become president again.

However, no one is above the law in our country. We don't have kings here. The law is the best tool available to stop Trump. The rule of law is what can help the establishment save our democratic institution from a viral menace and human narcotic like Trump.  

Bringing down Trump is an American establishment duty by now. Trump is a clear and present danger to our established system. Trump is the American version of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Cuba's Fidel Castro, Russia's Putin, etc. Trump's charisma proves as irresistible as opioids or meth to his base. 

Trump supporters would do anything to throne him as their supreme leader fighting for their cause. They would allow him to change our laws and disregard our domestic and international democratic institutions. Trump can indeed accomplish things for his base. However, just like all other super charismatic leaders, Trump will eventually die. 

History shows when the super stars that amassed political power to themselves die, their countries collapse into the hands of inferior leaders empowered by authoritarian super powers. That has happened repeatedly in the developing world, and could happen here if the legal system can't stop Trump in time. 

Trump is a power addict. Trump will not stop himself. The establishment must stop him. The establishment can use the weight of the law to bring down Trump. The same would have happened to the Clintons had they insisted in keep coming for more. However, the Clintons were smarter and got off the spotlight. Trump pretends to have the cake and eat it too. Trump pretends to play loose with the law and also become president again.

In bringing down Trump under the weight of the law, the establishment should be caring and sympathetic to Trump supporters for their loss. After all they are also Americans. Millions of Americans resent being the mass ruled by a minority elite. 

We must take into consideration the feeling and emotional sensibilities of Trump's supporters. After all, we're all in this together. The USA belongs to all of us Americans regardless of our tribal associations. Besides, without Trump's supporters it would be harder to defeat our enemies like Russia or our competitors like China.  

Food for thought. What do you think?

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
