Donald Trump Is The Most Honest United States President Of All Time by Caitlin Johnstone

I happened upon some pictures from President Trumps United Kingdom visit with Queen Elizabeth yesterday, which is not something I would normally care about.

The British royals are basically just oligarchs who rub your face in it, and the fluffy media publicity around a monarch of one murderous kleptocratic imperialist regime meeting the leader of another murderous kleptocratic imperialist regime is something I would usually try to avoid looking at or commenting on.

I have paid exactly zero attention to the stories about the visit itself, so if you want to know what kind of tea they drank or how President Trump got along with Lord Hothalbotham and the Duchess of Yorksquire or whatever you have come to the wrong place.

But I saw one photo from the visit that made me stop and realize something that is definitely worth noting: Donald Trump is the most honest United States president of all time.

To be clear, I am not saying that President Trump actually tells the truth with his words; he obviously does not.

President Trump is so comfortable with lying that he once tweeted the claim that he had never urged House Republicans to vote for a particular immigration bill, three days after posting a tweet explicitly urging House Republicans to vote for that bill.

He left both tweets up. I mean, that is like one click away from literally looking someone in the eye while urinating on their leg and telling them it must be the rain.

No, when I say that President Trump is the most honest United States president of all time, what I mean is that he has a unique gift for exposing the face of the empire for exactly what it is, in all its depravity, all its deceitfulness, all its corruption, and in this case, all its jaw-dropping ridiculousness. I mean, look at this photo:

Really look at it.

Have you ever seen anything so ridiculous?

Who the fuck dressed him?

And whatis going on with that freak in the red dress?

And why are these rich assholes all walking in formation?

Is it some kind of weird parade for people who have never bought their own groceries?

President Obama could have made this look normal.

President Bush would have looked a little bit goofy, but nothing that would make you spit your coffee on your screen.

Hell, Bill Clinton would have looked downright at home, like he was born in Buckingham Palace and spent his whole life sipping champagne and groping the maids while he waited for this photo to be taken.

It took the badly-dressed awkward posture and golf bod of a reality TV star who became president via 4chan prank to expose that whole absurd royalty display for the risible self-parody that it deserves to be seen as.

President Trumps entire presidency has been like this. Blatant, tactless, and completely unmasked.

Journalist gets literally butchered in an embassy by the Saudi government?

Yeah well we do not want to do anything about that because they have got an arms deal with us worth billions of dollars.

He just comes right out and says it.

When they want to stage a coup in Venezuela, they do not limit it to United States Central Intelligence Agency covert ops and behind-the-scenes manipulations; the whole administration is on Twitter saying they are going to keep starving everyone with sanctions until the nations president is replaced with the guy they prefer.

It is all right there, right in your face, as closeted and secret Flavor Flavs fondness for clocks.

His whole cabinet is basically human versions of the departments they represent.

His Secretary Treasurer was a Goldman Sachs executive.

His CIA Director literally tortured people.

His National Security Advisor is an Iraq-raping Bush-era neocon.

His Secretary of Commerce is a former Rothschild executive.

His EPA Administrator is a former coal lobbyist.

His Secretary of State came straight out of the CIA.

It is like he designed a convenient labeling system for everyone who is unsure of what it is that each department in the executive branch of the United States government actually does.

President Trump has been continuing and expanding all of the depravities of his predecessors, but he has been doing so openly, making it look exactly as ugly and disgusting as it is.

His supporters try to justify this by claiming he is making brilliant 4-D chess maneuvers against the Deep State, but President Trump is not playing chess.

He is not even playing checkers.

He is playing Uno, and he is playing it with his hand fully exposed on the table, with his only defense being to point at a red card and say "This one is green" and point at an eight and say "That is a two. It is the best two, absolutely terrific two."

Even his dishonesty is honesty, in a way.

He lies constantly, brazenly and unapologetically, while his predecessors have lied sneakily, subtly and usually only by distortions, omissions and half-truths.

President Trump is a walking public service announcement that United States presidents are liars.

Which is the truth.

And I for one think that is great.

It is entirely possible that President Trump will be ousted in 2020 by Joe Biden or by one of Joe Bidens 397 ideological clones who are also in the race, and that will make a lot of people very happy.

It will make them happy because they will not have to look at the ugly face of Orwellian dystopia anymore, because an infinitely smoother and more charismatic leader will go back to hiding it for them.

And then things will at long last go back to normal, the way they always were: no partisan divisiveness, no corrupt politicians, no racism in the United States of America, and brunch all day, every day.

The most aggressive anti-Trumpists have no interest in real change, they just want things to go back to the way they were before President Trump, which is actually just wanting to go back to the conditions which gave rise to President Trump.

They are not interested in waking up, they are interested in smoothing an uncomfortable wrinkle in their bedsheets so that they can go back to sleep.

And if that happens, fine, whatever; it is not like they were taking any meaningful action against the ugly face of empire anyway.

But at least things got shaken up with a little honesty for a while.

A little corrupt, blood-spattered, button-popping honesty.
