THE SECOND COMING OF TRUMP THE FIRST -| 2024 election

How frustrated must Jeremiah, Noah, Paul the Apostle, and many others must have been when after having been selected by God to warn the people of a looming catastrophe if they did not heed to the consequences of their actions to find themselves completely ignored?

Of course, even if this author does not pretend to have been selected by God for the same purpose, he still can empathize with their feeling of being ignored and preaching in the desert.

Of course, it did not help that the books of the series “Trump The First” were banned from popular book sites like Amazon and Lulu or social media such as Facebook prior to the 2024 US presidential election. However, what would have been helpful to potential American voters from getting a wider perspective and warnings about the direction their country was going is even more relevant today, now that Trump 2.0 has the full legislative, judicial, and executive power to do whatever he wants to make either “America Great Again” or to precipitate the evolution of America from a flawed democracy (Freedom of the Word report rating) to an illiberal one then to a de facto autocracy.

“Elections say more about the voters than the people they elect”

IRREVERENT, FACTUAL, AND DYSTOPIAN

Common beliefs have let us assume that lightning cannot strike because it is not raining or that the sky is blue where we are. Not true. If you can hear thunder, lightning is close enough to be an immediate danger to you. The same goes for our democracy. We childishly rely on the strength of our Constitution and institutions to believe that it is beyond the realm of reality that our great nation could fall from grace to become a banana republic. But make no mistake, a storm is coming. The cumulus of an alternate reality is gathering overhead, the temperature of civil liberties is drastically falling, the wind of open arm rebellion is picking up, the barometric pressure that keeps our institutions apolitical is falling and the birds of ill omen are flying low. All the telltale signs of an ignominious storm are here for all of us to see. And the unfathomable “hara-kiri” of a once proud and great nation is no longer a fictional possibility.

The Advent of Trump the First

Part I - Paradise Lost Redux

A must-read before the 2024 US presidential election and even more so after

We have all used the slang expression “Shit happens” to mean that life is full of unfortunate unpredictable events that we should take philosophically and move on. That is certainly an attitude that millions of Americans are prepared to take in the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election in the event our democracy is flushed down the toilet. But the interpretation of that expression does not recognize the fact that shit never happens in a vacuum and out of nowhere. When applied to our democracy, “Shit happens” as a consequence of a butterfly effect caused by thousands of little cuts done to our way of life, our social fabric, and the bond that glues us together with the same moral values and the same reality into one nation.

Part I of “Trump The First” deals with the way we should objectively look at ourselves in the mirror to explain why it has been so easy for a demagogue to turn all the flaws, dysfunctions, and shortcomings of our society and political system to his advantage with the blessing of millions of Americans. By doing a post-mortem analysis of all the things we took for granted, assumed, and ignored, and those that finally did us in, this first volume introduces Part I of the “Trump The First” trilogy by exposing our country’s deep-seated beliefs that made the “Advent of Trump The First,” not only possible but inevitable.

Shit never happens at random.

It is just a failure of the imagination to forecast the future

and accept the possibility that the worst may happen Axel de Landalay.

The Second Coming of Trump the First

Part II - Dear Leader of the Disunited States of America

A must-read before the 2024 US presidential election and even more so after

Following Part I of the book analyzes the reasons leading to “The Advent of Trump the First,” Part II examines more closely Donald Trump as a person, the Republican Party becoming a sect as the Party of Trump, how Trump orchestrated a “Slow Moving Coup” in five Acts, America’s crossroad with destiny, democracy apocalypse, and a possible “Nuclear option” in the event of some States seceding from the Union.

Part II puts in evidence a tendency in which America is not leading but following a trend of countries where autocratic leaders use the democratic process to reach their personal goals of wealth and power. Any leader with enough political savvy, communication skills and charisma can capitalize on anti-establishment, nationalist identity, and economic prosperity, with promises to make the country great again and fix all the wrongs that ill it. The genius of Donald Trump has been to recognize and capitalize on all those latent populist sentiments by unifying many people towards a messianic goal of saving America from ethnical racial replacement, religious irrelevancy, middle-class social marginalization, diminished global influence, and a perceived economic decline.

To fulfill those promises, millions of Americans are quite content to accept Donald Trump’s politics of chaos, outrageous, unfounded claims, and even the prospect of America losing its experiment with democracy and becoming a banana republic, albeit one with nuclear nukes.

But this prospect is not a fatality. Part II puts every American before his personal responsibility by elaborating in detail on their presidential choice in the 2024 election, and what they should be looking for in selecting the person who will lead and represent them to the world, Donald Trump’s presidential record, and what to expect if he is re-elected. One thing is certain: If re-elected, Trump’s presidency will be very different from the first one. This time, Trump 2.0 is ready to hit the road from day one to implement his personal and billionaire friend's agenda.

“You should always pay attention to what narcissists and psychopath leaders say because, contrary to most politicians, they usually do what they say.” Axel de Landalay.

The Kingdom Come of Trump the First

Part III - The Reign of the Antichrist

A must-read after the 2024 US presidential election

Learning from the two previous volumes of the series that there is no point in preaching in the desert, this last volume is written and will be published in real-time of the Second Coming of Trump The First, one chapter at a time.

Part III picks up on the questions left open in the previous volumes leading to the 2024 US presidential election, such as:

Now that as predicted in Part II, the Democratic Party lost the election and is still struggling to find a reason for its existence, is the possibility for a Third Party more relevant than ever?
Now that the question is no longer whether “Democracy Apocalypse” comes to America, but when and how fast, the only question left is could America secede.
Will the Supreme Court be the instrument allowing Trump to run again in 2024, or even stay in power without any election as he has mused about many times in the past?
Does Donald Trump reflect America or does America reflect Trump?
Has Trump managed to make America “Great Again” or “America Alone” and a country that nobody trusts, respect, fear, or worst, envy or even pity?

Those questions raised, and many others addressed in the previous volumes of the series will be answered and give the reader an opportunity to reflect on his actions, his values, and what matters the most in life.

Nations have the society they inherit

and the government they merit. Axel de Landalay.

Trump’s Playbook

on How to Subvert a Democracy for Dummies

In Twelve Easy Steps

Subverting a democracy by democratic means is relatively easy. Countless charismatic politicians, military men, or your average Joe Blow have surfed on the nationalist wave of their country to do just that. It is, therefore, a well-defined and time-tested playbook used by many wannabe dictators and that Donald Trump may claim to have invented by renaming it “The Art Of The Steal, A Very Beautiful Thing.” for instance.

“How to Subvert A Democracy For Dummies” is an excerpt from “The Second Coming of Trump the First – Part II” and is published separately as a stand-alone reference guide that follows the steps Donald Trump has taken in the past and continues to implement in the present to fulfill the long-time Republican Party goal to establish a fascist autocratic rule in America.

“Oh Putin and Xi Jinping, how I envy you! But when I come back, me too will make my opponents disappear.” Axel de Landalay.

Quotes from Trump the First Trilogy

Published as a stand-alone reference, this book is a collection of excerpts from the “Trump The First Trilogy.” The quotes are both in pictures and text and will give the reader a different overview of the many topics covering the variety of reasons why America is on a self-destruction path of ending its great experiment with democracy.

“It is a paradox that never in the history of the world so much information has been made available to so many ignorant people without any positive results.” Axel de Landalay.
