Did you watch U.S. President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address? Actually, it was the "State of Trump" address, depicting a United States president spoiling for a fight, a fight not to get impeached and removed from office. It was pathetic.

He has been trying to save his neck from this political guillotine. Trump, seeking executive power over elections, has been urging his staff to find a way to declare an emergency to postpone the midterm elections. His goons say they are coordinating with the White House to draft an executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

But, at the expense of many innocent civilians’ and U.S. troops’ lives, he took the shortcut to create an emergency. Should the U.S. become the target of a nuclear assault and the infrastructure necessary to hold a fair and free election be totally demolished, then any president might rightfully postpone the election. But no! Trump’s push for election power to subvert the midterms needed a created reality.

For weeks, there were staged indirect talks with the Iranians. Before the talks began, Israeli Prime Minister and a wanted criminal Benjamin Netanyahu rushed to Washington and set the stage to create that necessary reality: Keep talking to the Iranians, and meanwhile stockpiling weapons enough to destroy not one, but several countries simultaneously.

Netanyahu also needs to postpone (or get a presidential pardon from) the court case about the indictment of accepting bribes and fraud. A war, real or phony, a war which could save him from court in that disgraceful offense case that will lead him to legally relinquish all political portfolios, including than prime minister. The Gaza war has been providing him that opportunity, but Trump’s so-called Peace Deal took it away. So, Trump and Netanyahu needed that nonexistent emergency, which could help Trump cancel the midterms, and Netanyahu to postpone his court date.

When a sick mind needs excuses for some sinister purpose, it tries to create them. In the gaming world, it is called "augmented reality,” also known as mixed reality, a form of 3D human-computer interaction that overlays real-time 3D-rendered computer graphics into the real world through a display, such as a handheld device or head-mounted display. You know, kids wear those googles while playing video games. But in the political game world, you cannot put googles on every citizen, but they depict a picture of the "threat from Iran” that doesn’t exist.

We (actually, French Sociologist Jean Baudrillard does) call such a situation "simulacrum,” a fake version of something real. With the help of Zionists, Trump created multiple mimeographs of "the enemy" like a wax museum full of simulacra of famous people, effigies, images of things that don’t exist in reality. He said Iran is about to have nuclear capability, a lie that Netanyahu has been repeating for more than three decades. He added another "simulacrum” to Netanyahu’s simulation of reality: Iran is about to have missiles capable of hitting the U.S. mainland.

Now, thanks to Netanyahu, Trump is about to save himself from a possible removal from the White House. He can have executive power over elections, he’ll declare an emergency, and cancel the midterms. Does this scenario sound realistic to you? French sociologist Jean Baudrillard invites our attention to the significations and symbolism of culture and media in our age. Those constructs are perceived as reality; our modern-time understanding of human life and shared existence makes them legible.

Please think of the representation of an America simulated by several individual images such as the Kennedy Center board voting to rename the center as The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, or the State Department’s announcement that the U.S. Peace institute had been renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, or a banner featuring a photo of Trump and the words "Make America Safe Again” hung from the Justice Department building. That department had brought criminal charges against him to be impeached twice. Are those feisty simulacra created by such moves realistic or not?

There is no dictatorship in America in reality, yet, but the image is so real that in its 250th year, America, the land of immigration, is about to become a country of emigration. Since Trump took office for the second time, something that had not happened since the 1930s, the Great Depression years, happened: More American people moved out than immigrants moved in. The Trump administration has welcomed the negative net migration as its major achievement to "Make America Great Again.” The reality is not America becoming great again. American citizens are leaving that Great Country in record numbers.

Now, the U.S. military is beginning "major combat operations” against an enemy that "directly endangers the United States.” When you create your own facts, you don’t need truth. The difference between the high probability of agreement in the indirect talks in Geneva and the "potential U.S. casualties” which will be shipped in flag-draped caskets is the asymmetry between a simulacra and reality.

Jean Baudrillard refers to Disneyland as an example of hyperreality. Trump created "absolutely realistic” images, but they were just simulations of physical reality. But the thousands of innocent victims in Iran and other Middle East countries might not be simulation.
