The Second Coming of "Trump The First" Dear leader of the Banana Republic of the Disunited States of America - Part II - Second Edition

A MUST READ BEFORE THE 2024 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

IRREVERENT, FACTUAL, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING

Part II - Second Edition

Following Part I of the book that analyzes the reasons leading to "The Second Coming of Trump the First," Part II examines more closely Donald Trump as a person, the Republican Party becoming a sect as the Party of Trump, how Trump orchestrated a "Slow Moving Coup" in five Acts, America's crossroad with destiny, democracy apocalypse, and a possible "Nuclear option" in the event of some States seceding from the Union.

Part II puts in evidence a tendency in which America is not leading but following a trend of countries where autocratic leaders use the democratic process to reach their personal goals of wealth and power. Any leader with enough political savvy, communication skills, and charisma can capitalize on anti-establishment, nationalist identity, and economic prosperity, with promises to make the country great again and fix all the wrongs that ill it. The genius of Donald Trump has been to recognize and capitalize on all those latent populist sentiments by unifying many people towards a messianic goal of saving America from ethnical racial replacement, religious irrelevancy, middle-class social marginalization, diminished global influence, and a perceived economic decline.

To fulfill those promises, millions of Americans are quite content to accept Donald Trump's politics of chaos, outrageous, unfounded claims, and even the prospect of America losing its experiment with democracy and becoming a banana republic, albeit one with nuclear nukes.

But this prospect is not a fatality. Part II puts every American before his personal responsibility by elaborating in detail on their presidential choice in the 2024 election, and what they should be looking for in selecting the person who will lead and represent them to the world, Donald Trump's presidential record, and what to expect if he is re-elected.

Nations have the society they inherit

and the government they merit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Axel de Landalay

I could tell you that I was born in a little town in rural America to parents who inculcated in me the solid American values that generations of our forbearers have fought and shed blood to uphold and defend against enemies, foreign and domestic. I could tell you that I married the sweetheart of my life and that our children went on to become productive contributors to our society, which has become the envy of the world. I could tell you that my professional career and social life are a poster vision of the American Dream and that major life experiences have given me the insight to reflect on our society, politics, economy, and human nature that I must share with whoever is inclined to listen. I could tell you that my impeccable higher education and career credentials gave me the assurance to speak with authority on the myriads of things that ills our society and political system. Finally, I could tell you that being completely apolitical gives me the liberty of formulating unbiased assessments, to tread in politically incorrect territory, to be completely disrespectful in my judgments, and calling a spade a spade.

All of this could be true or not. But all of that would be irrelevant because this book could have been written by you. Anybody with a minimum of intelligence, integrity, historical knowledge, curiosity, critical thinking, common sense, honesty, and good faith could have found the inspiration to write it. So, in essence, you, the reader, is also the writer. Those lines could have been your thoughts, your beliefs, and your views on the status of our republic and the path our great country is heading to.
