Somewhere in that twisted maze of high capacity bile ducts and crippling fear of being exposed as a fraud, commonly referred to as tRump’s brain, he has a yearning need to regress back to a time when he still had the potential to be human.
Before moving forward, a few facts to keep in mind are that Donnie isn’t very bright, accomplished or inquisitive (everybody says so). Aside from his chronically duplicitous nature, Donnie is also dumb, dull, dickish and dreary. His view of making America great involves turning the clock back to his faulty version of the 1950’s, a version that only exists in his feverish dreams of his own greatness.
He wants a country sanitized of real history. One where Brown v Board of Education never happened. One where Billie Holliday never shared the horrors of Strange Fruit. One where we didn’t invest in rebuilding Europe and Japan. One where the sacrifices made to vanquish fascism weren’t made by “losers and suckers.”
Instead, Donnie’s world is one where the simplistic fantasies portrayed on television are a true and accurate portrait of the “real” America of the time. Even his vision of that America is twisted into something unrecognizable by his internal overlay, forced by his burgeoning multitude of failures and flaws. When people say, “Somethin’ ain’t right with that boi,” they are understating their case by several orders of magnitude. He wasn’t right then and he’s only gotten worse — lot’s worse.
Listen to Donnie for only a few moments, and one thing becomes clear — he lives in a fantasy land where he is the star of everything. He is the center of the universe and nothing else matters. Not the health of his servants, protectors, toadies or family. He really doesn’t care.
These are some of his favorite TV programs filtered through the distorted memory of the juvenile Donald. The one he never successful grew out of. This is the world he’d be trying to recreate if he was in the least bit competent and had an attention span longer than a gnat’s.
