Trump, Trump, Trump

Donald Trump, Donald Trump.  Everywhere you look, everything you read - all about Trump, Trump, Trump.  Revile him all you want - he is a success as a presidential candidate.  Deride him as often as you wish - it will neither harm him nor faze him.   He is a media-master, far surpassing other candidates and even outdistancing the media stars and media pundits.

Donald Trump is a "problem," but not the basic problem - he is the result of the basic problem.  He represents the disgruntled, disgusted middle-class American - Republican, Democrat and independent.  He has hit a sensitive American nerve - he has come out.  He has come out of the closet of political correctness and taken on the yelling and screaming popularized by Howard Beale, the disgruntled news anchor portrayed by Peter Finch in the 1976 award winning movie "Network."  "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore," he cried.  "Bullshit," said Beale.  "Bull****" says Trump!

Trump is a disaster - a demagogue, a clown, a liar, an evader, a fabricator of facts, an exaggerator ....... and more.  He is without experience, without class, without decency, without respect for others ....... and more. But despite all this - he is forgiven!  He remains the overwhelming choice of millions of Americans!  He is the "People's Choice!"  Trump is not responsible for Trump.  We, the people, are responsible for Trump!

To quote Pogo, from Walt Kelly's comic strip of the same name, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Shame on Trump ....... Shame on Us!

Let's hope we will get better than we deserve!
