So far, so Republican.
So far, so Republican. But Trumpism is not just the usual mendacious special pleading for the super-rich. In fact, Trump cares little about policy or policy ideas or, for that matter, any ideas at all, even bogus or illusory ones. He only cares about self-gratification and self-glorification. His towering ego is his only ideal. But his megalomania is about more than his narcissism – for his fortune and his family riches, and his criteria for powerful leadership, have long-standing links to organized crime.
This is a great article about #TrumpNation that could have been scratched together by my very own posts here on the Ploos, but with a better thesaurus. That is, the author and I agree.
#DonaldTrump won the 2016 presidential election, of that there is no doubt. He has then systematically tried to destroy our government while feeding his own ego. He said he would drain the swamp by, apparently, filling it with sludge; would make America great again by abdicating global leadership; and would fulfill the economic dreams of thementally handicapped far-right conservatives.
What bothers me is, after 8 years of Bush (II) and now Trump, will the global community ever looked kindly on a Republican Oval Office again? Trump may be the last #GOP president for a while, but someone sometime in the future will rally the base and Americans, as we tend to do, will forget the devastation the Republicans have wrought. Maybe it'll be a Ted Cruz-type or perhaps a Roy Moore-type, but it will happen and possibly sooner rather than later. Starting in the 1970s the right started heating up the water and we've been slowly boiling ever since. Sooner or later someone's going to wonder why ever ever jumped out of the pot to begin with.
