In the biggest upheaval in global alignments since Waterloo, 203 years ago today, over only four days between June 8th and 12th, Dumb Don betrayed every person worldwide who fought, labored and suffered for the Allied cause in World War One, World War Two and the Korean War.
Trump threw away everything that the United States gained since Grant regularized relations with the United Kingdom and Canada in the Treaty of Washington in 1871. This treaty paved the way for the cooperation between the three countries that got the U.S. to enter WWI on the allied side after the Zimmerman Telegram. It was the beginning of the Five Eyes on which the peace and security of every American home today depends.
The Treaty of Washington also paved the way to global peace after World War Two and the quite remarkable political and economic stability that we have enjoyed in the three quarters of a century since. Amazingly, once our enemies, Germany and Japan entered the global structure of peace and order and stayed there.
We owe this stability to the many global institutions started after the War, like the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), now the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the willingness of the number one global power, the U.S., to support these institutions.
This world order has not come without a price and many, many mistakes. Iraq and Afghanistan are just two.
But the post War order survived the Cold War, especially the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the staggering upheavals in China where Mao made Hitler look like a piker, unleashing a Holocaust per quarter during the Great Leap Forward. All while going nuclear.
And it gave Europe the stability it needed for a twofer: the formation of the European Union, now the second largest economy in the world after the U.S., and the peaceful transition of Europe as the Soviet Union collapsed.
Dumb Don decided that all this is worth nothing. He has thrown it away. And, as always as we saw in President Zero, he gave everything away in return for precisely zero.
He purposefully alienated our closest ally, Canada, getting zero for his efforts and cutting deep into our vital Five Eyes and NORAD security arrangements. In doing this, he put the safety of every American at risk.
How quickly he has forgotten that a map of the world when he was at school showed Canada, not West Germany, as the front-line state between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. And he is stupid enough to think that Canadians have forgotten the role they played and what it was like to live for decades with a threat from “over the top.” All to preserve Americans to the south. If you said "NORAD" to Don he would have to ask his people what you are talking about.
Now, Don declares, all Canadians, and therefore NORAD and the Five Eyes that protect Americans, are national security threats.
With the great care for which he is so well known, Don stabbed his fellow countrymen in the back in front of the G6 at their meeting in Québec. Just to make sure that all Americans get the message: Don showed in the most public way possible that he will sacrifice every American at the drop of a hat.
Hours after announcing that U.S. national security means nothing to him, Don flew to Singapore where he bowed, literally, before Kim Jong Un, giving him everything he wanted for zero and in doing so, throwing the security of long-time allies Japan and South Korea to the wind. Both may have no choice but to go nuclear to protect themselves. Well done Don!
This is the price we are paying for allowing the Russians to put a man with the intelligence of a struggling ten-year old into the Presidency. And that we get for knowingly electing a man whose high school and university graduated him under false pretenses.
Yes, Benedict Trump has committed the gravest treason possible for an American.
But, treason requires intent.
And Don, who we call Dumb for a reason, is so intellectually challenged that he understands none of this. As his infamous twelve mistake sentence in his August 15, 2016 missive on security shows (see Publius' Dumb Don), Don’s brain does not function. His syntax-free Trumplish is untranslatable into English.
It works the other way too. Publius has shredded Dumb Don for two and half years. Don just cowers in his corner and takes the lashing. Why, because he can read nothing that is written here. Even if he had the ability to read, he knows none of the events in these articles and would be unable to reason through them or what they mean for his country.
If his staff tried to help him through just the first sentence, he would go crazy and fire them. And they all know it.
Don cannot count either. In 2006, his answer to the question, what is 7 x 16 was 1,112!! Live, on the air, with Howard Stern of all people. In Learning to Count With Don Trump, Publius showed the policy consequences of Don’s innumeracy: staggering budget deficits running out for most of a century.
How do you get intent out of this mess?
Here's the rub. Some things seem to course through Don’s brain repeatedly.
One of the most remarkable is Dumb Don’s endless fixation on the Trumplish sentence he used to fire James Comey which Publius analyzed in Trump Management Protocol (TruMP). When the Justice Department took 500 pages to review the FBI’s pre-election handling of Hilary Clinton’s emails, Don immediately tried to rebuild his sentence again and again. It was weird to watch.
Don's big problem—only those of us who know the Dumb Dude know this—is that Don can only dictate letters and memos. And, because he cannot read or write, he cannot edit or correct them. Moreover, as Publius has demonstrated many times, Don could not tell us what the correct version of what he dictates is because his intellect is scrambled at its core. Which is why his Comey sentence is such a mess.
Don cannot read even the first line of the Justice Department’s 500 pages. This is why Don claimed that a report that is not about him, "totally exonerates" him. He can only listen to what people can tell him in a few simple words. What he hears sends him into a confused rage.
As a result, we get Don’s endless jabbering on the subject of Comey. He keeps bringing us back to Publius’ English translations of Don’s Comey dismissal. In English Don must say that he, Don, is guilty of collaborating with the Russians to win the election or that he is incompetent, or both. Wow.
In some obscure way, given his collapsed intellect, Don seems to get this, and it is driving him nuts.
Now we know that once in a while Don understands that he has made a mistake, though never what it is or what its consequences are. So, why his constant support for Vladimir Putin? And his endless, unasked for, denials that his team worked with Putin's to throw the 2016 election? You would think that his limitless, clearly stated desire to be Putin’s Poodle is as muddied as everything else.
So, why isn’t it?
There is only one possible reason. Don’s actions are like a particle circling some yet undefined mass that is exerting gravity on it. That mass can only be Christopher Steele’s Dossier. Dumb Don may have no intellect, but he does have a sex drive as his Billy Bush rant and the many cases now going through the courts testify. Here we have the intent needed for treason.
The Dossier came to U.S authorities through the highest Five Eyes connections. That explains why Don has worked so hard to destroy the Five Eyes. And the security of all Americans. Don’s treasonous intent is set deep in his soul. Very, very deep.
How did this guy get to where he is?
Pays to be born rich.
And to have Russian friends.

It took only a month from this post for Benedict Trump to fulfill his Dossier obligations to Vladimir Putin. He has committed the treason Publius said that he would. He did it publicly in a press conference with Vladimir the Small.
Publius is getting harder and harder to beat. Why? Because Don works day and night to ensure that Publius' is way ahead of the curve. Amazing. Love the guy.
