Just after he was elected, I was asked by an American about Trump. ‘Mad King Donald’ was the first thing in my mind and I said so.
Today it seems my fears are starting to solidify. An administration, a president gives out a statement about his infallibility. He, as the chosen one, can dictate right from wrong.
As with any royal court, the really frightful elements are the courtiers, sycophants and hangers-on. The ones who say nothing and judge their strategy against reality. Those that are supposed to ‘uphold the constitution’ and be there for their ‘constituents’ will stab you in the back, without a blink, live-streaming. The Rapture is being packaged as ‘America first’ and his faithful Fly-over country is going down the drain, because no one likes to buy from an asshole with an attitude.
As an European, it is nothing new, this kind of behaviour by the ‘rulers’ (or their clique and the system they instal). For centuries we’ve lived by, suffered under, fought against and ultimately developed into the Europe we are today. Not perfect, but working on a future together, hopefully. Our countries have seen the horrors, the pain and corruption unlimited power will unleash.
So, now it’s your tun to deal with a ‘Mad King’.
