Happy Birthday to Trump from Denmark...
Laozi: 'When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be'
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
"All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa
"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea." The Buddha
“Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self.”
The following letter was published on Progressive Eruptions on 06/14/2026. We here at RN USA find it an accurate statement on tbe character of the malignant narcissist now occupyng the White House.
A huge Hat Tip goes out to Progessive Eruptions!
To the sun-baked mafioso in the Oval Office…
Happy 80th birthday, Donald.
You’ve proven to the entire world that you don’t need to have read a single book, let alone possess elementary decorum, to reach the very top.
You’ve turned narcissism into an Olympic sport, and the truth into a rubber band measured by the yard.
Today you turn 80, and let’s be honest: you’re celebrating it exactly like the nihilistic Sun King you are.
While other world leaders your age would have long since retired to write boring, self-righteous memoirs or collect stamps, you choose to transform the White House South Lawn with a massive steel structure and a no-holds-barred cage fight.
It is nothing short of brilliant in its pure vulgarity. Caligula would have wept with envy seeing human beings beat each other half to death in the Rose Garden to honor an 80-year-old Republican birthday boy.
You’re not a politician, Donald. You are a force of nature driven by pure, unadulterated transactional logic.
You’ve transformed the most powerful office in the Western world into a clan seat, where statesmanship is replaced by quid pro quo, and where you view the Constitution as an annoying lease that just needs to be renegotiated.
You’ve made the truth completely irrelevant; if reality doesn’t suit you, you simply dictate a new one in ALL CAPS on Truth Social.
You’ve turned American democracy into an exclusive, all-you-can-eat buffet for tech oligarchs and oil sheikhs.
You don’t possess a shred of refinement, and that is precisely why you are bulletproof.
You are the ultimate culmination of the American Dream: the man who can buy his way out of anything, lie his way out of any lawsuit, and convert total chaos into his personal currency.
So now you sit there like a true mob boss in the autumn of your life. Today, you are fighting the only opponent your lawyers cannot sue and whom you cannot intimidate: the relentless march of time…
- But even Chronos, the Greek god of time, will have his work cut out for him to bring you down, because your ego is thicker than bulletproof glass, and you are nowhere near finished bestowing large, vulgar monuments of yourself upon posterity.
Here in Denmark, we raise our long-stemmed crystal goblets today to toast you - not in admiration, but in deep, chilling fascination that the boundless narcissism of a single human being can hold the entire planet hostage.
May the cage on the South Lawn provide the blood you need to stay young.
Cheers and Happy Birthday 🥂
So absolutely true. As well as extremely unsettling, as it very well bodes the end for what actually made America at one time, a Shining City on a Hill.
As the curtain slowly falls on America's experiment in self government all that can be said is May the Great American Dream, Never Fully Achieved, RIP.
America did this to itself.
