Fear the Empty

Donald Trump is scary. He is a frightening man not because of the things he says but the fact that he does not care about what he says and will say whatever is necessary to keep his name in lights, his image on the screen and his reputation alive. Donald Trump as most people of intelligence will tell you is an empty vessel but he has full cargo when it comes understanding how fear innuendo, and phobia work especially in the minds and the bottomless souls of self proclaimed victims. Donald Trump believes there are no consequences for his actions and will always mange to leave the theater before he screams fire! Donald Trump can provide the instructions for tar and feather, assume that he just might have to do this or that tell a group of mob minded insecure lemmings how scary the future looks walk away and gleefully laugh as mayhem ensues. Never have his fingerprints on an act of menace but he certainly understands how to suggest the possibilities.

Donald Trump is wise enough to know he does not know how to be president, so he exposes that weakness by saying I will do it differently. For the masses who also have no idea what it means to be a president this used car sales pitch resonates as a miracle. You had a clunker in Bush Trump bemoans, you have a lemon in Obama Trump brags, trust me that my car will be speedier, shinier, sleeker its a secret how that will work, but you will drive something so much better. And all the townsfolk need as they gather their pitchforks is the promise of a man who has made things glitter albeit not from gold.


Setting traps, establishing blame, seeking scapegoats, are not new to the history of politics; what is unique is that after so much history of that kind of evil having taken place, to see it reborn is scary. Donald Trump has no conscience that is clear but he has a narcissistic drive verging on madness, and madmen know no boundaries. Donald Trump has NOTHING in common with the people who seek his radiant glow, but he understands that void and uses their own insecure virus to attack them. It matters no longer if Donald Trump wins the nomination or not and that should frighten all of us. Donald Trump has established the conversation for the next presidential election he has set the agenda for policy for the next year, and he has the kool aid in paper cups at the ready for angry to drink. Donald Trump is scary but it is the minions who need reason to hate, purpose to despise, and cause for violence who we ALL should fear.
