Sorry not sorry.

Donald Trump is worthy of scorn, not sorrow.

So, Donald Trump wants us to feel sorry for him because he was convicted of some of the crimes he has committed.

And while I’m sure this will come as no surprise to anyone, I gotta say… I don’t feel the least bit sorry for his criminal, co-conspirator con-man ass.

But do you know who I do feel sorry for?

I feel sorry for the military widow who had to listen to him say that her husband “knew what he had signed up for” because he had the audacity to die serving his country in uniform.

I feel sorry for the schoolgirl Trump pardon recipient and war criminal Eddie Gallagher shot and killed for fun.

I feel sorry for the parents of Otto Warmbier who had to listen to our president tell the world he “fell in love” with their son’s murderer.

I feel sorry for the Gold Star families he attacked and disparaged.

I feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died from Covid while he was golfing.

I feel sorry for the loved ones left to stare at an empty chair while he tweeted about ratings.

I feel sorry for the doctors and nurses who died trying to save lives because he was playing games with their medical supplies.

I feel sorry for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss who were terrorized simply for doing the right thing because he needed to push a baseless, racist lie.

I feel sorry for the family of Officer Brian Sicknick, the families of the other Capitol police officers who took their own lives in the wake of January 6th, and for every single hero who withstood being sprayed with chemicals, beaten, crushed and tased while protecting the citadel of American liberty from the rabid mob Donald Trump sent to stop the certification of an election he lost.

I feel sorry for the human beings who come here looking for better lives he so casually and so frequently claims are “poisoning the blood of our country” when the truth is anything but.

I feel sorry for the more than 64,000 women and girls who’ve had to contend with pregnancies resulting from rape in 14 red states since his justices helped strip a fundamental human right from so many of us despite them saying under oath that they wouldn’t.

I feel sorry for the 10-year old Ohio girl who had to leave her state to get an abortion after she was raped.

I feel sorry for the women who have been left unable to bear children because doctors in their states had to refuse them emergency medical care.

I feel sorry for the transgender community he so often villainizes because it chums the hateful base. I feel sorry for the LGBTQ+ community because his bigoted vitriol has made them less safe here than they were a few short years ago.

I feel sorry for the countless victims of gun violence who might still be here if he hadn’t needed to court the ammosexuals who fetishize their weapons of war.

I feel sorry for the loved ones of Heather Heyer who was mowed down for standing up to the Nazis he called “very fine people.”

I feel sorry for the fallen of war who paid the ultimate price so our so-called “commander in chief” could call them suckers and losers.

I feel sorry for a nation torn apart over and over again by a sociopathic madman with a penchant for stoking division and violence because it makes him feel powerful when nothing else does.

I feel sorry for the mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters who can no longer break bread together because if their family member can support someone who brags about sexual assault, mocks the disabled and refers to their fellow human beings as “vermin”, they know they can never truly see eye to eye on anything ever again.

I feel sorry for all the “pretty” pageant contestants and game show competitors he’s objectified. I feel sorry for the women he’s assaulted, harassed and pressured into sex.

I feel sorry for the civil servants and whistleblowers who’ve had to contend with death threats after he put targets on their backs. I feel sorry for every plumber he’s stiffed, every student he’s conned, and every “sucker” he’s stolen from.

I feel sorry for everyone and everything he’s ever touched, because as Rick Wilson so often says: everything he touches dies.

I feel sorry for a helluva lot of people whose lives he’s destroyed.

But I sure as fuck do not feel sorry for him.

After a lifetime of getting away with every conceivable atrocity and abuse, he is finally being held accountable for his unrivaled, unending depravity.

He is finally finding the fuck out.

And there is not one single inch of my person, not one infinitesimal speck of my body, mind or soul, that feels even the slightest flicker of sorry for him.

That evil, heartless, disturbingly cruel son-of-a-bitch made his bed long ago, and now he gets to lie in it.

Sorry not sorry, Felon Don.

Like you’ve said about school shootings, you’re just going to have to get over it.

Some people are inherently evil. I believe Donald Trump is one of them.

But as cults so often do, the cult that is MAGA believes their melted circus peanut messiah was “sent by God.”

Satan maybe. Not God.

When he was a 5 year-old boy, he was caught throwing rocks at a baby in a crib in the neighboring yard.

When he was eligible for the draft, while his peers went off to war, he sought medical deferments for an ailment he didn’t have.

He left his first wife, who said he raped her, for his second wife who he then left for his third wife, who he cheated on repeatedly.

He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, cheated people out of their money, stole from charities, mocked a disabled reporter, opined about having sex with his daughter, let Americans die from Covid, and incited horrific violence in order to install himself in an office he was voted out of.

He’s a sociopathic narcissist, a pathological liar, a sexual predator, and a bigoted, hateful, vitriolic criminal conman who refers to innocent immigrants as “vermin”, while praising murderous despots at same time.

He can’t cite a single passage from the Bible when asked, he doesn’t attend church, he spends his every Sunday worshipping at the Basilica of St. Back Nine, and he refers to himself as the second coming of Jesus.

God has turned him into a tomato-sauce-stained sloth-like creature who has to wear a girdle and lifts in his shoes. God impeached him twice, made him lose reelection and visited upon his term in office, a once in a lifetime global pandemic which ravaged our country along with the rest of the world. And then God indicted him 4 times, found him liable of defamation, sexual abuse & business fraud, and now — God has made his Chosen One a felon found guilty by a jury of his peers on 34 criminal counts.

God created someone as hateful, impulsive, intolerant, needy, angry, vengeful, selfish, sadistic, depraved, amoral, areligious, idiotic, envious and evil as Donald Trump, made his presidency the most infamous in the history of time, and then he rained down upon him the hammer of justice in historic fashion all so that he could return him to the office he tried to steal in order to “save” America?

That’s God’s “plan” is it?

To reward the physical embodiment of the 7 deadly sins rolled into senile septuagenarian with the highest political office on the planet?

Yeah, I don’t fucking think so.

Of the many, many lessons the world will take away while having to endure Donald Trump and ultimately, I pray, witnessing his demise, the notion that he was sent here by a higher power for the greater good is one I simply cannot abide. While it’s true that we learn most from the most trying times, the hell he has malevolently manifested, the suffering he has caused, and the pain he has willfully forced upon humanity is so unforgivable, so dark, so ruthless and irreparable, the world would have been immeasurably better off had he simply never existed.

But that’s not our reality is it? And they’re the ones who don’t deal in reality, not us. And right now, his reality, the fact that he is a convict, the first ever former president to earn such a distinction, is deserving of scorn, not sorrow.

No one feels sorry for him. Not really. Not even his most servile sycophants and lackeys (ok, maybe Lindsey does lol).

Even they know this is what he deserves.

And they know it’s not stopping here either.

Karma is coming. It so often takes its sweet time. But it’s coming all the same.

And there is so much sadness surrounding it.

It’s sad that one incredibly troubled, feeble-minded, addlepated and syphilis-brained, unloved orange-man has insecurities and inadequacies so deeply-rooted in his psyche, so crippling, they have allowed him to tarnish the reputation of our nation, to diminish the office of the presidency, to dismantle our Constitution, degrade our institutions, disembowel decency, demolish morality, and decimate democracy.

It’s sad that he has emboldened the world’s worst actors in order to feed his own eggshell-fragile ego. It’s sad that he has intentionally inflamed hate, stoked intolerance and exacerbated the already existing divisions, cracks and fissures between ourselves and our fellow citizens to such an extent, it will take us at least a generation to reconcile them if they can even be reconciled at all.

It is indeed sad.

It’s all very, very sad.

But none of our sadness is for him.

It is all because of him.

And now he’s getting what he deserves.

Finally.
