Trump has succeeded in converting singlehandedly the USA into a banana republic that would shame any Latino wannabe dictator.
Trump can be easily incarcerated into the wall he built for these so called rapists and criminals.
In reality, Trump brought the largest democracy to a near collapse by using The White House and his presidency to exhort his followers into an attack on the Senate which was in session at the time.
Four persons lost their lives in this attack initiated, and led by the President himself.
Just suppose Trump had succeeded in overturning the result and succeeded in becoming president for a second term.
His victory would have propelled him to a near infallible position. His psycho fans would have elevated him to dizzying heights.

After this success he would have been unbeatable and could have become President for life as most banana republicans do.
The ripple effect on the Israelites courtesy Jared Kushner would have been immeasurable.
One has admired from a distance the American intellectuals who have equaled some of the European authors in style and substance and that too in the English language.
Their prose has been equal to the best of the British. The efforts of four hundred years of economic and political progress. The proud American nation which has reached the leadership of the free world became the economic vanguard of the free world. Trump destroyed these four hundred years of political progress into a rubble created by rabid rousers.
Even the Americans are at a loss to explain how their media is used and played by a band of thugs almost destroying the American dream.

For years the best analyst in the world will ponder this collapse in spite of all the checks and balances that have been put in place by a cautious leadership.
The close call notwithstanding the free world must be shivering at the nightmare of Trump’s near success. This would have been a nightmare to end all nightmares.
Examining the last two weeks of Trump one could only guess at his rummaging for avenues and legal loop holes to employ, he would have looked longingly at the nuclear codes carried by his military escort.
How and when to use them may not have been of any use against his own people.
But the last two days have shown that he passed rational thought or behavior. These are indeed frightening thoughts but he made the world aware of the dangers of a mad Trump. The world is lucky. We can only hope the danger has passed.
It remains to be seen whether Trump has been defanged.
The President is such a powerful position that even though Trump has shown that he is dangerously unstable, but the American system is incapable of stopping him.
The Pundits can only ruefully calculate the damage he can do. The most powerful man in the world has shown he is unstoppable.

Even if the next twelve days pass, can or should the world have to face such a situation again. Trump was no Hitler or Saddam or Netanyahu.
Each of these men have shown their ability to press the button regardless of the consequences.
Should the world have to endure such reckless leadership, surely they should be stopped at the stage of rhetoric?
Trump should be prosecuted for the murder of the five deaths in the storming of the Senate.
Also the grim reminder to all future leadership that should be punished for rhetoric alone.
Only then should any responsibility be allowed, people like Netanyahu should be removed from any position of power.
