​Deport liars to Mars

Gadfly | February 10th, 2026

By Ed Raymond

Trump, White House, cabinet and advisors are documented criminal liars who should be deported to Mars on Musk’s rockets

So, our Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) police are out in the country arresting the worst of the worst, convicted criminals, predators and liars so they can be detained and then deported to countries that have a certain overwhelming stench. Our government is looking for as many as 22 million of them.

ICE should have started the search in Washington, D.C. Our capital city is loaded with immigrants or the progeny of immigrants who qualify for deportation. The President of the Republicans, Donald Trump, is a convicted sexual predator who is also the world’s greatest criminal liar. He should be detained at Mar-a-Loco until a Musk rocket can deport him to Mars.

Robinson Jeffers, one of my favorite poets, summarizes the condition of Homo sapiens today in this powerful stanza:

Never blame the man: his hard-pressed

Ancestors formed him: the other anthropoid apes were safe

In the great southern rain forest and hardly changed

In a million years: but the race of man was made

By shock and agony— a wound was made in the brain

When life was made too hard, and has never healed.

It is there that they learned trembling religion and blood-sacrifice,

It is there they learned to butcher beasts and to slaughter men,

And hate the world.

Trump’s brain wounded by political pandemic, malignant narcissism

Psychiatrist Alexa Albert has been treating pathological narcissism for 15 years and is now co-leader of MDMA (drug)-assisted therapy for the personality disorder called malignant narcissism. Her definition of the disorder is as follows;“Malignant narcissism is a brittle defense, an overcompensation for fragile self-esteem shaped by early experiences of emotional neglect and mis-attunement. That history (which Trump possesses with abundance) can leave a person deeply shamed and dependent on external affirmation, intoxicated by praise and hypersensitive to criticism. With characteristic emotional volatility and impaired empathy, meaningful, reciprocal relationships are out of reach for narcissists.”

My definition: He doesn’t give a crap about anybody but himself, blows sky-high when reprimanded, loves and gets mentally drunk on praise, accepts cash and support for thousands of pardons, will do absolutely anything for money, will use and grab pussies with wild abandon and thinks he is ruling Planet Earth. He has a very serious wound in the brain which may never heal. He wants his name to be prominent on visible things: buildings, Bibles, booze, beef, boulevards and even bullshit. I suggest we rename toilets with “TRUMP” in 12-inch gold letters on doors — as in “I must go urinate and defecate in “TRUMP.”

Twenty-seven psychiatrists and psychologists who diagnosed Trump as a malignant narcissist wrote a book about. Malignant narcissists enjoy appearing omnipotent. People with low-esteem are vulnerable. Malignant narcissists favor short-term survival over long-term judgment, project control over situations and are rejected by well-educated people. They gain power like an evil villain, lie constantly, distrust excellent research, only support the last advisor who talked to them, are cruel for fun, callous, lack empathy and insight, have no morality, show no remorse and often appear sadistic and highly manipulative. If female, malignant women use sex as a power over men. Malignant narcissists may cheat with friends and enemies, are constant bullies, vindictive, envious, abusive, inflict pain on others, hold grudges and lack a conscience. They believe they are superior, special and unique. They enjoy watching people suffer and pursue vengeance on their perceived enemies.

Trump is not a whole person. Look what he is doing to “Minnesota Nice” and look while he is holding the Nobel Peace Prize. The man is mentally ill.

The White House and cabinet are filled with malignant narcissists like Trump, Nazis like Miller, and those with reality problems like Pete Hegseth. They have a problem with the truth. As an example, Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum is an incredibly shrinking man who is destroying the National Park System and history. VP Vance preaches immunity for ICE killers.

Why does Trump want Greenland? Because it’s on planet Earth!

Greenland is the world’s second largest mass of ice after Antarctica. Ice covers 80% of the territory, with a maximum thickness of almost two miles. If it melted, it would raise global waters 24 feet.

Palm Beach, where Trump’s home Mar-a-Loco is, presently suffers from high tides and street floods during hurricanes. The Divided States of America has over 95,000 miles of shoreline and just over 29% of the population lives in a coastal country. The Orange One believes climate change is a hoax, so he is withdrawing the DSA from all agencies, committees and programs in the world that will attempt to control climate change. His Environmental Protection Agency is cancelling contracts for wind and solar energy and any research projects that may contain or reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, including the amount of vehicle exhausts from fossil fuels. China is now producing millions of electric vehicles, with automobiles selling for as little as $9,000.

So here is a man who thinks it may be necessary to invade Greenland (a territory of Denmark and a member of NATO) with military force. (NATO members agree to defend any member that is attacked by another country.) He has been declared “the most dangerous man in the world” by Mary Trump, a niece in the Trump family who happens to be a practicing psychologist who has known him since childhood. Trump’s own sister, who was a federal judge, called him a consummate constant liar. And remember, 27 practicing psychiatrists and psychologists, after analysis of every word and lie, have diagnosed him as a malignant narcissist, using the definitions cited in the latest Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

In addition, he has recently become a war criminal as defined by the Geneva Conventions and International Treaties in his attacks and killing of drug cartel members in fast boats. He is also charged with being a nasty dominating sexual predator for buying sex from stormy adult movie stars and models while three trophy wives were pregnant. Like Jeffrey Epstein, he likes young and lovely girls on lovely Caribbean islands. To add to his world-class reputation, he has also been called a jerk, prick, asshole and socio-psychopath by “acquaintances.”

What happens to Florida if the Greenland ice cap melts?

Corky and I have visited practically every square mile of Florida, from the northern panhandle to Key West, and have enjoyed the highest spot in Florida: Bok Towers (298 feet above sea level) in the middle of the state. If all of Greenland’s ice cap melted, many of Florida’s southern and coastal communities would disappear because the average elevation is six feet above sea level in these zones. Probably about 75% of the population would move out of the state. Goodbye Mara-a-Coco and Palm Beach, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Naples, and hundreds of smaller cities like Key West, Panama City, Destin and the Everglades.

I once had to do a two-hour radio show on KFGO from the top of an above-ground septic tank in a campground on Cedar Keys so cell phone service would reach Fargo. Fellow RVers got a big kick out of my two-hour perch on top of a 15-foot high concrete septic tank with a phone on ear. The campground is about one foot above high tide.

When I was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina we lived on New Topsail Island, a barrier island that averaged eight feet above the Atlantic Ocean. We had to move twice because of damage to homes from two hurricanes while we endured another four. We spent a lot of time beachcombing and I made furniture from the parts of old wooden ships washed up on or near the shore.

A subject change: Supreme Court and transgender athletes

The evidence is growing that the LBGT community has been around for hundreds of thousands of years and has now grown to at least 74 different sexual orientations and identities. Around 2,500 years ago, the Greek playwright Aristophanes wrote several plays that had LBGT members play roles in plays that dealt with creation myths. In his plays, the original human beings like Adam and Eve in the Bible were huge, spherical creatures with two faces, four arms, four legs and two sets of genitals. There were three sexes, male-male, female-female and androgynous male and female. These very powerful beings attacked the 12 major Greek gods. Zeus, the king of the gods, fought the humans, split them in half, creating present-day humans, and turned their faces forward so they could see their other half. Then came the search for “wholeness” where each half longs to find its original counterpart, leading to the feeling of love. This is another form of Genesis.

Men split from male-male beings become men who love men, or homosexuals. Women split from female-female beings become women who love women, or lesbian, and those from androgynous become heterosexual. Zeus allowed sex to satisfy this longing and ensure they could reproduce and hug forever.

The Supreme Court needs to study genetics before making a decision about transgender individuals participating in sports. Participation is encouraged because it teaches how to win and how to lose in sports — and in life.

It also teaches humans how to win and how to lose. In college basketball we currently have 5’8” players playing 7’9” players. Should we require all players to be 6’4”? Certainly weight plays a role in some sports, but some sports do not require the same weights to compete. There are college football teams that have females kick extra points and field goals because they are excellent soccer players who can accurately kick balls.

And 10% of our population represents the LBGTQIA+ community. Whether created by God, by Charles Darwin’s origin of the species, by Zeus and other Greek gods, or if we came from the big green swamp, we must allow all humans to participate in appropriate sports.

I have played in 80 football games in high school and college and have played and coached thousands of baseball games in Little League, high school, American Legion, Park Board, amateur, college and semi-pro games. You learn about life when the ball bounces the wrong or right way or the ball hits the diamond foul or fair by inches.
