Good-bye Captain Crazy Pants
Your Act Is Old
Donald John Trump is a graceless grifter and corrupt businessman with a lucrative side gig as the 47th president of these barely United States. He recently celebrated his 79th birthday with a poorly attended military parade.
Whatever mental acuity and physical vigor he once enjoyed now are a fleeting memory. Numerous voices within the silo critical of or despairing about Trump 2.0 take note and make comment. They put forth ugly but accurate analyses of his increasingly erratic conduct and comments as evidence of “temporal disintegration” (rather than the more understandable and forgivable condition of forgetfulness in an older mind.) What is “understandable and forgivable” in your beloved Aunt Emma is dangerous and unacceptable in a guy:
1. With a finger on the nuclear button;
2. With an active anger toward anyone refusing to obey his illegal orders; and,
3. Who, if and where he can, refuses to take responsibility for his habitually disastrous mishandling of Other People’s Money.
Behold the Magic Kingdom of Money
Walt Disney grew rich and famous reporting the self-absorbed antics of two mice and five ducks.
Using equally self-absorbed antics and another cast of seven helpers, our President Looney Tunes has invented an image of personal intelligence, acumen, and worth from very thin air. According to Google AI, his Magic Kingdom of Money is reported as:
The Trump family’s net worth is approximately $6.7 billion, up from about $5 billion on 20 Jan 25 and down from about $7.7 billion in September 2025 due to a significant drop in cryptocurrency investments. This recent decline follows a period of substantial growth, and estimates from different sources vary.
1. Donald Trump: Estimated at $7.3 billion by Forbes in late 2025, though other estimates vary significantly.
2. Melania Trump: Estimated at $50 million.
3. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump: Combined net worth estimated at $1 billion by Forbes. The graft here is particularly transparent and egregious. The reporting is outdated and the fortune underestimated.
a. In 2020, Jared was awarded approximately $1 billion by the United Arab Emirates for his work in “normalizing” diplomatic and trade relations between Israel and the Arab world. Due to “The Palestinian Issue,” the accords are not fully functional and/or mutually beneficial.
b. In November of 2025, Jared reportedly received another $1 billion from Arab interests for his work in formulating a proposed “Peace Plan” which would surrender Ukraine specifically and Europe generally to the territorial ambitions of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
4. Eric Trump: Estimated at $750 million.
5. Donald Trump Jr.: Estimated at $500 million.
6. Barron Trump: Estimated at $150 million.
7. Tiffany Trump: Estimated at $10 million.
Net worth estimations fluctuate frequently and wildly. They most commonly are tied to:
1. Cryptocurrency ventures and claims;
2. Real estate holdings and licensing deals; and,
3. Truth Social, merchandising promotions, and other like cheap and apparently compulsive carnie conduct.
The bottom line on the balance sheet of the Mad King’s Magic Kingdom of Money is basically, invariably, and irrevocably the bald-faced assertion that it is the worth of his brand on any given day—by his own measure and claim.
This long-running charade was put to humiliating public test in October of 2023. Out of its highly leveraged $5 billion empire of air, the family could not find $354.8 million of liquid assets to disgorge immediately and fully its ill-gotten gains from financial fraud.
All the Mad King’s boasting cannot hide a rude economic fact—there’s no there there. Only hot air. And a ravening insecurity.
This farce helps to explain Mr. Big’s embarrassing, insatiable, and recently treacherous drive for fresh funds from every available source all the time everywhere.
He badly needs pocket change for various of his ever-expanding, generally unnecessary, and routinely gauche “beautification” projects in and around Washington, D.C.
President Magoo
In 1949, United Productions of America, refugees from the Walt Disney Productions empire, created Quincy Magoo—an elderly, wealthy, short-sighted character who refused to admit his weaknesses.
Blessed with uncanny streaks of luck, his every misstep and error worked itself to his advantage. Bystanders viewed him as a lunatic. Fortune excused his disability and vainglorious sense of self-entitled righteousness.
According to Google AI:
“Mr. Magoo syndrome” is a metaphor for a situation where an individual or group is so shortsighted and oblivious to the problems they cause that they stumble from one disaster to another, often due to stubbornness or a refusal to acknowledge a problem. While the term originates from the near-sighted cartoon character Mr. Magoo who blunders through life with a series of lucky escapes, it is now used to describe people who are unaware of their faults or the negative consequences of their actions. The term can apply to both individuals and organizations, such as business leaders who are oblivious to pitfalls or movements that take a narrow approach to complex issues.
The characteristics of the Mr. Magoo Syndrome are:
1. Obliviousness; A person with this syndrome is unaware of the negative consequences of their actions, or the problems they are creating for others.
Stubbornness: They often refuse to admit their faults or accept evidence that contradicts their worldview.
Lack of self-awareness: They may not realize that their behavior is problematic, or they may believe their positive traits excuse their faults.
Shifting blame: In some cases, individuals may blame others for the problems they have created.
“Blind luck“: Like the cartoon character, those with the syndrome may appear to succeed through sheer luck, which can reinforce their behavior and prevent them from learning from their mistakes.
In the real- world, a person exhibiting the Mr. Magoo Syndrome will:
1. Ignore the needs of those dependent upon them;
2. Fail to consider the long-term consequences of their actions; and,
3. Make poor decisions which lead to a failing business endeavor.
Meditation
Google AI defines the Magoo Syndrome as a condition wherein stakeholders waste countless hours and resources distilling every nuance of a complex issue into a cliff note presentation in language precisely calibrated for the leader’s ears. And then are forced to run alongside the willful and myopic leader, competing with all other inputs and noise.
It’s time and more to admit Captain Crazy Pants is not worth the time and effort he keeps demanding. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze.
His act, however dangerous, is stale.
Turn away.
Deny his bonfire of personal vanities and unrelenting insecurities the oxygen of attention.
Manifesto
04 Nov 25 requires immediate, strong, sustained, and strategic support. It is the mission and the task of Resistance 2.0 to fashion the next 12 months into a successful campaign to obtain a Congress in the majority composed of persons:
1. Of good character;
2. Eager and willing to provide responsive and responsible representation of the will and best interests of the governed;
3. Faithful to their oath of office;
4. Committed to such measures as are necessary to:
a. Affect a more perfect Union;

e. Promote the general Welfare; and,
f. Assure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
Anthem
Trump 2.0 has delivered no benefit to 92% of the governed. That is the message to be sent in every mode everywhere all the time from here to 03 Nov 2026.
When complaining:
1. Be specific;
2. Be strategic;
3. Stay faithful and funny.
Continue to:
1. Harness your individual and indivisible Power of One to defy attempts to compromise your inalienable human and constitutionally protected rights;
2. Find and band with like minds to outnumber bad actors and out maneuver unfaithful representatives;
3. Be generous toward those more hurt and/or less secure than you; and,
4. Be or locate and support a person of sound character interested in serving the public good in elected office.
Demand:
1. Respect for the governed here; and,
2. Support abroad for Ukraine’s rightful fight to evict Russia from territory invaded and occupied since 2014.
In support of those noble aspirations, let us covenant to:
Be faithful
Be firm
Be resolved
Be present
And, further, to:
Rise
Remain
Resist
Persist
Prevail
And, to continue to wonder and ask— “What’s in those Epstein files?”
Go, team, go.
It takes quite a businessman to bankrupt not one, but TWO casinos.
Mr. Magoo is indeed an excellent metaphor for Trump.
This article is a Keeper.
I personally feel that Divine intervention will be necessary (and will ensue in due time), but in the meantime we must not feel or act helpless — not even calling it out wd be an indication of helplessness. Helplessness in turn, leads to despair & loss of hope.
