Politics: The New Murphy’s Law- The Trump Affect

According to Murphy’s Law, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Now, we have a new version of that called the Trump Affect, which I’m coining for this blog. If things can get worse, it will, according to the law. It doesn’t matter how bad things will get. Things can and do always get worse in some way. Things will get more ridiculous. It doesn’t matter how unlikely that is. You cannot stop getting a worse result with Trump. It’s not a matter of if, but how.

We start with the attorney general that Trump put in charge. Jeff Sessions was thought to be quite a terrible person to have that job. These people were right to think that. Was there anything good about him? I don’t recall. But he made Trump pissed off by recusing himself from the Russia investigation and got fired after the midterms. There were issues with the temporary replacement until we got William Barr as attorney general. William Barr turned out to be way worse than Jeff Sessions could ever hope to be.

How else has Trump gotten worse? Well, the talks of a border wall lead to an inhumane policy that saw children separated from their parents. If putting kids in cages wasn’t bad enough, Trump helped orchestrate the longest government shutdown and US history in order to secure funding for a border wall. Many had to work without paychecks and some were never paid at all. Despite the shutdown ending, he still got his money, but no new wall has yet been built.

While Trump has always been racist, it seems that he often has more bursts than other times. He called the Nazis protesting at Unite the Right fine people while saying that there were bad people on both sides. He embraced the very racist go back rhetoric and calls the illegals coming from Mexico an invasion. There is no invasion going on.

I never hated Trump before he ran for president. Now, my hatred for him grows only stronger each day. Yet so many people think that people are only motivated by hatred of him as if he is not full of hate or that he deserves not to be hated. He blames anyone and everything for issues that he does wrong or is done wrong on his watch. Nothing is ever his fault and he tries to make anything about an issue that has nothing to do with him and might not even be real, such as a supposed alt left. The same party that refused to show respect for a great man like Obama now insist that Trump, who shows no respect to anyone, deserves only that treatment.

Maybe there should be more to this blog post, but I think that I will end it there. You never will know or be able to guess how things in the Trump administration will get worse or how much of the party will excuse his bad behavior. I’m waiting for the day Trump live streams a crime to the internet and people still defend his horrible behavior. It is not a matter of if things will get worse: it is how. That, my friends, is the Trump affect.
