President Donald Trump is obsessed with the notion that he’s being treated unfairly. Well, he’s got a point: He is being treated very badly. By whom, you may ask? The press when they expose his lies. The Department of Justice and local prosecutors when he is charged with breaking laws. Lawyers who bring civil actions against him for abusing their clients. Congress when they try to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Fox News or any news outlet or reporter that won’t repeat his lies. 

His administration is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people resulting from indiscriminate cuts to aid programs, medical research and studies, closing off access to services through mass layoffs, and more. 

Bizarrely, he extends his victim-complex outrage to his friends Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Poor Vlad was treated so badly by the people of Ukraine, the European Union, the International Criminal Court, and the world press. All he’s done is illegally invade one neighbor and commit war crimes in the process. He threatens all of Europe. His spies around the world have carried out assassinations of Russian exiles who have denounced his regime. Challenging Putin’s murderous actions is what Trump calls treating him “very unfairly.” 

And what about the equally put-upon Netanyahu? Trump said, “He’s a good man. … Been very unfairly treated by his country.” He must be referring to the vast numbers of Israelis determined to depose Bibi the moment his wars end and he loses the legal immunity from prosecution for his crimes accorded to his office as prime minister. For now, he is killing people — well over 50,000, mostly women and children, in Gaza alone — to save his job. 

Just the other day, the president regurgitated his sympathy for Netanyahu’s plight, as you can see and hear in the following video taken while Trump was “supervising” the installation of a 100-foot phallic symbol flag pole on the White House lawn.
