Trump's League of Incompetence: The Catalyst for America's Downfall
an attempt to describe the future America under Trump
I became interested in studying the causes of societal collapse. The Quran gave me some hints on the subject, and I captured some of my thoughts in this YouTube playlist.
Then came Trump, and this topic got a new boost.
The fastest route towards the collapse of any society is when incompetent people run that society.
In his first term, Trump was going through a learning curve. Now, he has learned well how to be a dictator. Now he wastes no time.
The USA under Trump is heading towards a far-right government starting January 2025.
He began to appoint hawks in his cabinet.
This pack of wolves will enact policies and executive orders hostile to immigrants and non-white ethnic groups, and particularly Muslims, and bring the clash of civilization rhetoric to the fore.
Like Netanyahu who is leading his pack of wolves towards annihilation of Israel, Trump along with his pack of wolves - is following the same roadmap.
Let me give a brief on some of the wolves entrusted by Trump to graze the herds of USA citizens for the next 4 years.
The nominated Secretary of State, Marco Rubio will lead aggressive foreign policy toward Palestine, Iran, China, Venezuela, Cuba, and Ukraine. Motivated by evangelical preaching, he will only fuel Netanyahu’s genocidal army to clean the holy land from anti-Christ Muslims and preempt the second coming of the Messiah.
Meanwhile, Trump will draw his entrepreneur and business cards to “milk” as much money as possible from the rich Arab dictators, in exchange for protecting their power.
A classical God and Gold agenda of the WASP - White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
Let me move to the Department of Justice and introduce you to the sex trafficker and a proven rapist of underaged girls Matt Gaetz. What an irony! He is someone who feels no remorse but rather boasts about having illicit sex with underaged girls.
Anyway, why should we blame Matt Gaetz for sexual assault, when his boss Trump is not short of sexual abuse cases? Maybe Matt is purposefully appointed to whitewash the filth of his boss.
You might wonder how Evangelicals rally behind and tolerate such sinful persons. Well, for them Bible provides a convincing answer. Read John 8:7-11 when Jesus told the elders ‘Let the one without sin cast the first stone’, and slowly everyone disappeared. And besides, didn’t Jesus sacrifice himself to atone the sins of Christians? If so, why not wreak havoc in the Middle East and kill the evil Muslims, and have Jesus bless and wash all the sins, if that is considered sin in the first place?
Again a classical God and Gold rhetoric that justifies the exploitation of people and the plundering of other nations' lands.
I am publishing this article on 22 Nov and many of these nominations might change by the time you read this, but the idea remains the same: loyalist and incompetent wolves in charge of sheep. Luckily under much criticism, Trump later replaced Gaetz with Pam Bondi - the Florida Prosecutor - who far less controversial but nevertheless a Trump loyalists.
Let me continue with the rest of the pack, and move to the Department of Defense and the notorious Pete Hegseth.
This is serious stuff. We are talking about the most powerful army in the world equipped with most lethal and advanced weaponry. The world have seen a flavor of its destructive power in Gaza. So now nearly 1.3 million troops will be commanded by Pete Hegseth. So who is Pete Hegseth?
He is a typical white supremacist who loves to expose his crusade tattoos.
It would have been relieving if it was only tattoos, he actually found opportunities to put that tattoo in action while serving in Iraq, Afghanistan.
He openly supported his colleagues in the army who were accused of war crimes. Imagine appointing this guy in charge of 1.3 million troops with tremendous destructive power.
That gives you some hints about the hatred Hegseth might have towards the Muslims. That is not all, the icing over the cake is that Hegseth was a Fox News anchor.
Take another example, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who is heading the Health department with no formal education in health science. He is a vaccine skeptic and critic of the C.D.C., and has promoted theories that suggest H.I.V. is not the true cause of AIDS!
So, you got the idea. A country is run with such ideologies and foreign policy is doomed to take a fast spiral downhill. Though we are yet to see the opinion of Senate on such nominations.
Let me turn to Musk who will be in charge - along with Vivek Ramaswamy- of a new department called Government Efficiency. It might seem an outlier given that Trump is anti-globalization and Musk is for globalization. But on a second thought, I think Musk fits well as the persona of the right-leaning Silicon Valley ideology that increasingly shaping a dystopian future where technology controls the population, and that is music to the fascist ambitions of Trump. The very sound of “Government Efficiency” smells this evil intention.
Now read the verse 17:16 from the Quran:
Whenever We intend to destroy a society, We command its elite ˹to obey Allah˺ but they act rebelliously in it. So the decree ˹of punishment˺ is justified, and We destroy it utterly.
In the original Arabic text of this verse, the word of “commanding” can be read either as “Amarna” - which is the famous and most authentic reading - meaning I commanded the elites to obey but they did not and instead spread corruption, or it could read as “Ammarna” meaning we made these elites take control of the government, and then they start to enact policies and lead the nation towards collapse. There is yet a third reading “Aamarna” meaning we increased the number of the corrupt.
When Prophet Muhammad was asked about a sing for doomsday, he said “When non competent people are given high ranking jobs”.
But let us ask why a good portion of the Americans who voted last time for Biden switched to Trump. Including many Muslims and Black. Why increasingly people are loosing hope in liberal democratic ethos?
In my view, the world is seeing an end of one era, and entering into a new ear. Trump is just one manifestation of this paradigm shift. But the wind of this change has been blowing elsewhere, for example, in Europe where each election brings the right-wing parties closer to victory.
In short I think the world is fed up with left leaning liberal policies and philosophies that are too antagonistic to human nature. The liberal democracy under Biden tried to force liberal agenda too much that made a great majority of the population divorce him because their product is never appealing to average human being. No parents want their teenager wake-up in a pleasant morning a declare that she is now a boy or vice verse, or for that matter, a wolf or dog or cat and whatever.
As for the Muslims, whatever respect Biden had at 2020 was shattered under the tunnels of Gaza. His courtship with Netanyahu and fueling his Genocidal project has caused him to be abhorred not only by Muslims around the World, but many Americans who revenged him in the ballots.
I think for a Muslim voter - and many other sensible USA voters - the options were to either vote for Trump - who has one sin: support Israel - or vote for Democrats - who has two sins: equally support Israel, and force anti-religious liberal values on the society. Americans choose option 1.
Not only American’s but gradually the entire world are returning to a default case for humanity to the state prior to the World World II. The United Nations has tried to eliminate religions, culture and local context and tried to force mankind into adopting a global unified culture that is based on atheistic values of freedom, naturalism, and secularism. They tried to force the entire population into one camp. This camp is governed by the enlightenment principles. This has led to the dissatisfaction of communities who want to cherish their local culture, religion and scriptures, especially Muslims who have rich culture and God-made solutions that covers all aspect of life from family to finance to international relations.
So, for Muslims this is a good news that anti-religious liberal values are receding.
The bad news of course is that now the USA and the right-wing leaders of the West (along with Modi from the East) are beating the drum towards a middle-age style crusade against the dark and evil forces from the Middle East.
In the coming days, you will be seeing Trump and his pack of wolves digging the Bible and bringing in hate-mongering quotes supporting a war between the light vs darkness, very similar to what Netanyahu did since Oct. 7th .
The failed assassination attempt on Trump has elevated him to Sainthood in the eyes of the Christian Evangelist and Trump leveraged that very well. Here is what he said afterwards, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness.”
So, the scene is set, the script is written and the action will start from Janurary 2025. As Muslims we are in such a crucial moment and it is a great opportunity for us to rally behind the Quran and history. We are coming from a glorious history of struggle against the crusades, a history that transcends past and takes us all the way to the end of times when Iman Mehdi will lead the Muslims before Jesus return to Earth. Once the smoke of liberal atheists rhetoric vanishes from scene, the traditional drama of history takes the central stage where soft as well as hard powers clash in the intellectual and military battlefield. So let us be prepared for that.
I end by this verse 24-26 from chapter 34 Saba
Now, certainly one of our two groups1 is ˹rightly˺ guided; the other is clearly astray.”
Say, “You will not be accountable for our misdeeds, nor will we be accountable for your deeds.”
Say, “Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge between us with the truth. For He is the All-Knowing Judge.”
