snip
Hes a bad guy. An unrepentant bad guy. He knows it. His toadies know it. His family knows it. Anyone whos ever worked for him, been near him, been grabbed by him, or been mocked by him knows it. Jeffrey Epstein, wherever the fuck he is, knows it. And as his body lurches toward its expiration date, all he can talk about is God and heaven.
And its fucking bizarre.
Because this is the guy who built the permission structure for every ounce of this rot. He is the permission slip for cruelty. The incubator of bigotry. The man who turned hate into a hobby and moral bankruptcy into a brand. Maybe he wasnt the first hateful asshole to slither into politics, but his version stuck. He made darkness aspirational. He taught the spineless how to smile while dehumanizing, how to blame the powerless while worshipping the corrupt.
He is the reason they march with tiki torches and call it patriotism. The reason those youth leaders joke about gas chambers and call it humor. The reason millions now think empathy is weakness and ignorance is strength. He didnt plant the tree of hate, but he fed it fertilizer made of ego and fear until it blotted out the sun.

He looks like a man who gave up halfway through being embalmed pink, rubbery, overdone, a human shrimp left under the heat lamp of history. His skin has that glossy, radioactive sheen, the shade youd get if you basted guilt in iodine and regret. The top of his right hand is still bruised and black, like it spent the weekend auditioning for the afterlife. His cankles have achieved the structural density of pudding. Every step he takes looks like a war crime against geometry. He moves through space like a haunted beanbag chair, listing sideways, one ankle begging for retirement while the other files a grievance with gravity. The White House swears hes vigorous. Sure. Vigorous the way a toaster fire is passionate.

Hes trying to strong-arm his way into paradise. He says it so often you can tell he thinks if he repeats it enough, God will eventually roll His eyes and say, Fine, fine, just dont slap tariffs on Me.
But heres the truth: hes terrified. Hes terrified of hell. He thinks if he jokes about it, if he says it out loud enough times, itll take away the sting. That maybe if he names the devil first, the devil cant name him back. Its the oldest Trump trick in the book say the ugly thing before anyone else can and you win the room by default. But you cant win this one.
This is the bullshit of Donald Trump. The man has never lived in reality. Hes spent his life building a funhouse of mirrors and calling it the world. Everythings been negotiable for him: the truth, the law, even decency. But the final judgment isnt a deposition. Theres no settlement check big enough. No billionaire buddy on the pearly gate committee.
And I think its hitting him. You can see it in his eyes, in the slur of his words, in the way his face droops like wet wallpaper. For the first time, the tools in his tainted toolbox the lies, the money, the lawsuits, the shamelessness are useless. They cant get him out of this one. They cant buy him eternity. They cant spin divine consequence. His body is failing him and hes running out of time.

" . . . left under the heat lamp of history."
I don't know if Hunter Thompson or H.L. Mencken could come up with something that good.

Hes finally staring down something he cant con.
Every time he says all of this shit, it morphs into what he actually means: Im fat and Im going to hell.
Correct on both counts, asshole.
