The penises on the Potomac: the country has enthroned phallocentric rule, by Hal M. Brown, MSW

 

HuffPost described four men in their main story today: Trump Is Filling His White House With Men Accused Of Sexual Misconduct. They didn't bother to mention that the fifth man not only accused but convicted of sexual misconduct has already assured his place in the White House because everyone knows this.

They did decide to show photos of Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Matt Gaetz, and Peter Hegseth which depicted them tightlipped and as looking particularly smug. In my illustration I added a DonkeyHotey caricature which perhaps presciently was used to illustrate this 2018 Salon article: Removing Trump from office would come at a steep price.

It may be that Trump's law breaking and law bending contributed to his losing the election to Joe Biden. If it did, we'll never know how much. The election was close and left the man whose Mario mushroom manliness was mocked by Stormy Daniels feeling enraged. Between losing the election and Stormy there was no way someone with the rigid psychological defenses of Trump could let feelings of emasculation percolate into conscious awareness. For Trump every element of his self concept is connected to his feeling hyper-masculine.

Trump's loss in the election and what he feels was his persecution by his enemies set him up to begin his to run again and win. He had four years to plan his winning strategy and revenge. 

There's noone more dangerous than a man who feels his manhood was mocked who then has a chance to rule not just the manosphere, which he already ruled, but the entire country, man, woman, and child.

At 555 ft. tall the Washington Monument dwarfs the second tallest building, the Old Post Office, which is 315 ft. tall. Yes, that's the building a Trump company leased and turned into the Trump International Hotel where people curried favor with Trump by staying there. It was sold in 2022 and the Trump signage was removed.

The National Park Service, which is part of the Department of the Interior, manages the Washington Momument. Trump has selected big oil, gas, and coal advocate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to head the Department of Interior.

I wonder if he'd have time as he implements Trump's fossil fuel promises to have the Washington Momument made over to honor Trump. If a likeness of Trump's was added to the top of the monument think of the thrill his supporters would have seeing Washington from inside of his head.

'Out here running toilet scams': Spectators dump on Trump's newest administration pick

 Excerpts: 

 

Trump picks Matthew Whitaker for NATO ambassador," the news outlet Tennessee Holler told readers Wednesday. "You may remember him as the acting attorney general who was on the board of a company that boasted toilets for 'well-endowed men.'"

"Whitaker was also a cartoonish, grifting dope who shilled for a company that hawked time-travel cryptocurrencies, Bigfoot dolls, and toilets specially designed for men with big d----," GQ reported at the time. "[It] was shut down for good and paid a $26 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year for its alleged wrongdoing." 

Afterthought: The reason why so many women are attracted to men like Trump and his ilk is the subject for another blog.
