I Keep Saying It: Donald "Diapers" Trump is Going To Collapse Into a Pile of Gooey Shit
You know what keeps me up at night: What happens when an empire built entirely on fear and opportunism finally meets the inevitable moment when even the vultures realize the corpse is too toxic to feed on?
The air in Washington reeks of desperation these days, thick with the stench of political cowardice and the sour sweat of people who've sold their souls for a seat at a table that's about to fucking collapse. You can practically taste the fear seeping through the marble halls β that bitter, metallic flavor of impending doom that settles on your tongue when you know the whole goddamn charade is about to come crashing down.
And make no mistake, when Donaldo Shitsburger's fall comes, it won't be the slow, dignified decline of a respected leader. It'll be a spectacular, shit-spraying implosion that leaves everyone within a fifty-mile radius covered in the fetid remains of what was never really an administration so much as a carnival of grifters, sycophants, and morally bankrupt opportunists.
The Psychology of Parasitic Loyalty
The human brain is a fascinating piece of machinery, especially when it comes to understanding how people can stand next to someone they despise and smile for the cameras. What we're witnessing isn't loyalty β it's a textbook case of what psychologists call "instrumental attachment." These people don't follow The Donald of Dumpster because they believe in him; they follow him because he serves a purpose, like using a piece of shit as fertilizer.
J.D. Vance, that spineless fuck, perfectly embodies this psychological phenomenon. One minute he's calling Trumpy Buttface "America's Hitler," the next he's licking the man's boots with the enthusiasm of a starving dog. That kind of cognitive whiplash doesn't happen overnight β it requires a special kind of mental gymnastics that would make Olympic athletes weep with envy. But here's the thing about instrumental attachment: the moment the instrument stops being useful, the attachment disappears faster than a fart in a hurricane.
The psychological profile of every single person in Donaldo Crappy's orbit reads like a case study in opportunistic personality disorder. These aren't people driven by ideology or genuine belief β they're emotional chameleons, changing their colors based on whatever keeps them fed and relevant. Marco Rubio can stand there with his dead-behind-the-eyes smile, spouting whatever bullshit he thinks will keep him in the game, all while internally calculating the exact moment when jumping ship becomes more profitable than staying aboard this sinking vessel.
Cash Patel represents something even more disturbing β the true believer who's slowly realizing he's been worshipping a golden calf made of spray tan and broken promises. There's nothing quite like watching someone's faith crumble in real time, especially when that faith was invested in someone as fundamentally hollow as Trump AssShitface. The cognitive dissonance must be absolutely crushing, like discovering your childhood hero was actually a serial killer who collected butterfly wings.
The Fortress of Sand
From a philosophical standpoint, what we're watching is the inevitable collapse of what happens when you try to build an empire on quicksand. Machiavelli wrote about the importance of being both feared and loved, but he never accounted for what happens when you're neither β when you're simply tolerated as a necessary evil by people who would gladly watch you burn if they could guarantee they wouldn't get singed in the process.
The ancient Greeks had a concept called "hubris" β excessive pride that leads to a nemesis, a divine retribution that brings the arrogant back down to earth with bone-shattering force. But what we're dealing with here transcends classical hubris. This is something more modern, more American: the hubris of thinking you can maintain power through fear alone, without ever inspiring genuine loyalty or respect.
Donny GooePants has spent his entire political career operating under the delusion that intimidation equals leadership, that making people afraid of you is the same as making them loyal to you. But fear is a notoriously unstable foundation for power. It requires constant maintenance, constant escalation, and eventually, you run out of new threats to make or new people to intimidate. That's when the whole fucking house of cards comes tumbling down.
The philosophical question that haunts this entire shitshow is whether genuine loyalty can exist in a system built entirely on transactional relationships. When every alliance is based on "what can you do for me," rather than shared values or mutual respect, you're not building a political movement β you're running a protection racket. And protection rackets have a nasty habit of falling apart the moment the protection stops being worth the price.
The Vultures Circle
Pam Bondi represents the most honest type of political animal in this whole fucking menagerie β the straightforward opportunist who never pretended this was about anything other than career advancement. She's not there because she believes in Donald Shitsniffer's vision for America; she's there because she wanted a job, and this was the job available. The moment a better opportunity presents itself, or the moment this opportunity becomes toxic enough to damage her future prospects, she'll be gone faster than you can say "golden parachute."
But it's Tulsi Gabbard who really makes this whole situation feel like we're living in some kind of fever dream. Here's a woman who's literally β and I mean literally, not figuratively β a member of a cult, following a guru who demands absolute devotion, now serving as a key advisor to someone who demands the same kind of unquestioning loyalty. It's like watching two different forms of authoritarianism awkwardly trying to coexist in the same space, each one threatening to expose the fundamental emptiness of the other.
The most delicious irony is that these people, who've spent years enabling and defending every piece of shit thing Donaldo FartShits has done, are going to be the very ones who abandon him when the walls start closing in. They'll go on television with their perfectly practiced expressions of shock and dismay, claiming they had no idea how bad things really were, as if they haven't been standing in the front row watching this circus for years.
Marjorie Taylor Green's recent hedging is particularly telling. For someone who's made a career out of being more loyal to Trump the Turd than his own family members, her suddenly noncommittal responses about his legal troubles are like watching a canary die in a coal mine. When even the most devoted cultists start reading the writing on the wall, you know the end is approaching with the inexorable force of a freight train loaded with consequences.
The Swift Collapse
The beautiful thing about watching an empire built on fear and intimidation finally crumble is how quickly it happens once the process starts. One day you're the most powerful person in the room, the next day you're radioactive waste that nobody wants to be seen with. The speed of political abandonment in Washington can be breathtaking β one minute you're surrounded by people claiming they'd take a bullet for you, the next minute you're sitting alone in a room, wondering where the fuck everybody went.
Ted Cruz, that spineless blob of ambition wrapped in human skin, will be among the first to distance himself when the time comes. This is a man who let Donald DumpsHisPants insult his wife and father, then campaigned for him anyway. If that level of personal humiliation couldn't break his political calculations, you can bet your ass that the prospect of going down with the ship will have him running for the lifeboats faster than you can say "CancΓΊn vacation."
The psychological dynamics at play here are fascinating from a sociological perspective. What we're witnessing is a textbook example of what happens when a social group held together by mutual self-interest rather than genuine bonds faces an existential threat. The rats don't just abandon the sinking ship β they trample each other in their desperate rush to be the first ones off.
When the collapse finally comes, it won't be a gradual erosion of support. It'll be a stampede. Every single one of these opportunistic fucks will suddenly remember urgent business elsewhere, important meetings they simply can't miss, family emergencies that require their immediate attention. The same people who spent years fighting each other for the privilege of standing closest to Donny Convict will suddenly discover they have pressing commitments that prevent them from being anywhere near him.
The Aftermath of Abandonment
What makes this whole scenario even more deliciously ironic is that Trumpington Shitstorm has spent his entire life believing that loyalty could be bought, that fear could substitute for respect, and that people would stick with him as long as he had something to offer them. He never understood that transactional relationships work both ways β when you stop being useful, the transaction ends.
The philosophical implications of this whole clusterfuck extend far beyond one man's political downfall. What we're really watching is a case study in what happens when a society allows its institutions to be corrupted by people who view everything β relationships, loyalty, patriotism, justice β as commodities to be bought and sold rather than principles to be upheld.
Every single person in Donald BukakkeVictim's orbit represents a different flavor of moral bankruptcy. Some, like Vance, are purely opportunistic β willing to say or do whatever advances their career. Others, like Patel, are true believers who got so caught up in the mythology that they forgot to notice the man behind the curtain was just a sad, angry con artist with daddy issues and a spray tan addiction.
But perhaps the most damning indictment of this entire shitshow is what it says about the state of American political culture. The fact that so many people were willing to hitch their wagons to someone they privately despised speaks to a level of cynicism and moral rot that goes far deeper than any individual politician. These people didn't just enable Donald CumSwallower because they believed in him β they enabled him because they stopped believing in anything at all.
When the history books are written about this era, the chapter on the fall of Donny Caligulump won't be a tragedy β it'll be a cautionary tale about what happens when a political system becomes so corrupted that it attracts only the worst kinds of people: grifters, opportunists, true believers with flexible morals, and cult members looking for a new leader to worship.
The swift collapse, when it comes, will be a mercy. Not just for the country, but for everyone who's been forced to watch this degrading spectacle of grown adults debasing themselves for a man who wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. The only question remaining is whether the people jumping ship will land in lifeboats or just find themselves drowning in the same toxic waters that claimed their former leader.
And in the end, that's perhaps the most fitting punishment of all: discovering that loyalty to someone incapable of inspiring genuine loyalty is just another form of self-destruction, played out on a national stage for everyone to see.

Wendy, really great article per usual! You had me at this quote, which Iβm going to print out in big letters and put it in my weekly hall of fame for Substack writers: βnever really an administration so much as a carnival of grifters, sycophants, and morally bankrupt opportunists.β
Damn, THAT nails it. Just perfect. Chefβs kiss. Ok, Iβm going back to read the remaining 1/4 I didnβt get done before I had to leave a note! Love it - great job - please keep it up!!
Spot on. It cannot happen soon enough. tRump is dying, right before our eyes - physically, mentally and politically. The Epstein debacle will likely be the thing that finally breaks this madness, this insanity. Let's hope so, and that the fallout will bring them all down with him.
