Donald Trump’s personal Gestapo killed another American citizen in Minneapolis, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old white and patriotic nurse, who was filming yet another roundup of potential illegal immigrants. It was an execution. The videos are unequivocal, even more so than those that at the beginning of January showed the assassination of Renee Good, again in Minneapolis, again with the bullets of Trump’s squad.
The nurse (from a federal hospital that treats war veterans) was filming the roundup and was protecting a girl who was being pulled and beaten by Trump’s squad, for this reason he was thrown to the ground by four ICE agents, who first immobilized him, then took away a gun that he kept (with a valid firearms licence) in his pocket, and finally, after disarming him, they executed him with about ten shots. A murder filmed from different angles by other shocked citizens of Minneapolis.
The Trumpians immediately staged the same tragicomedy as the previous murder, when they tried to define poor Renee Good as a dangerous and violent extremist engaged in an act of domestic terrorism. This time too the videos told the realityand swept away the lies.
The civil war is underway, and the governor of Minnesota has sent the National Guard onto the streets, making the soldiers wear yellow vests to signal to the citizens that they are the good guys, sent there to protect them from the federal Gestapo.
There is one thing to be said about the Trump Administration’s lies, in this case and beyond. The Trumpists tell lies knowing that they are telling them, some only to meet the wishes of the Chariot-in-Chief, others because as fanatics and racists with Nazi tendencies they know that nonsense helps to achieve subversive objectives.
Trump, however, is different. I know I don’t have the technical tools to psychoanalyze anyone, and I also know that those who do should not do so remotely, but despite this it is clear that Trump is a clinical case. Someone as expert as Claire Berlinski has been warning us about this for some time: «When Trump says crazy things – ha written last year – is not something to be dismissed with a shrug. He’s not just joking. He believes every single word he says. What he claims, at any moment, no matter how absurd, even if a few days earlier he claimed the exact opposite, is reality for him in that instant, just as it is for dementia sufferers living eternally in 1956. His mind is a kaleidoscope of vivid delusions that he must believe in order to preserve his image as grandiose but fragile as an eggshell. That image is his false self. He has long since lost all contact with the real thing. Please: realize this. He’s not lying. He’s hallucinating. His tweets are not “Trump being Trump.” They are psychotic delusions.”
After all, it was Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, who told Vanity Fair that, despite being sober, Trump «he rules like an alcoholic».
The Davos speech is the most striking and not even the most recent example of this pathology, but there is a further aspect to underline. When Trump makes statements like the ones he made ridiculing the contribution and human sacrifice of European and NATO countries in the American wars – an indecent enormity that woke up, last but not least, even Giorgia Meloni – Trump makes his European friends look like traitors to their own countries in the eyes of their compatriots. And it is precisely for this reason that the English and French right, Meloni and the German neo-Nazis, beyond various lackeys they run in a disorderly way to distance themselves from his words. Trump would have no interest in alienating his few Western friends, he only does so because he suffers from behavioral disinhibition which is often linked to some form of senile dementia typical in a 79-year-old man.
But beyond any accurate clinical diagnoses, Americans are finally realizing who they have elected, as demonstrated by the demonstrations in Minneapolis after the first and second murders and the approval polls on the president’s work.
Perhaps proof is also provided by the letter sent yesterday by Justice Minister Pam Bondi in which she communicated to local authorities that she was ready to withdraw federal agents if, among other things, the electoral lists of Minnesota voters were handed over to her. In short, the ICE raids have never been police operations aimed at protecting the security of Minnesota or other states, but a tool to terrorize people in view of the elections and a general field exercise to ensure the electoral result with public order, when appropriate.
Even the very recent editorials by Thomas Friedman and Maureen Dowd who define Trump as an anti-American president, or that of Bret Stephens who defines him as a godfather à la Mario Puzo (and Dowd had also written so) are signs of an intellectual awakening of the great liberal newspapers, hitherto dormant and apathetic partly out of respect for professional norms on journalistic impartiality (a deontology that is at least bizarre in the face of coups d’état and subversive actions), partly out of fear of the legal and financial consequences that the Trump Administration has already imposed on television networks, companies and law firms that defend democratic causes.
It took them some time, but they got there, after all the New York Times is the newspaper that published, in 2020, the infamous editorial by Republican Senator Tom Cotton entitled “Send in the troops” which invited Trump to send soldiers to American cities to stop the Antifa protests. Here, Trump has sent troops to clear the streets of dissident Americans and anyone whose face is a shade darker than Maga white, and he has also sent them to kill white citizens who try to slow down the Gestapo-style roundups.
As you know, here we write every day that Trump is the first anti-American president of the United States, someone who governs from the top of the district and who only recognizes the language of the gangs. We’ve been writing this every day since he was re-elected, and I personally started writing it ten years ago, about the Instagram trend of reposting photos and selfies of things done in 2016. Bencome in 2026, but everything was clear ten years ago.
