In the Wizard of Oz, we meet two characters who have great impact on the future of the citizens of Oz and accidental tourists, one is the Wizard, and the other is the Wicked Witch of the West. L. Frank Baum, the author of the Oz, had two different personalities in mind when he wrote his children’s novel, both characters filled with their own insecurities and implied narcissism. Perhaps if Mr Baum were alive today, we would see that in fact both characters could easily be played by one person, that person being Donald Trump. The Wizard of Oz, was and is a con man, somehow his latest con caught up with him, but building a wall (In the form of a curtain, he somehow was able to confuse the simple folk of the Emerald City to believe he was indeed magical and mystical. The Witch, was cunning, her existence was based on painting and containing all the power possible, while trying her darnedest to rid the land of her perceived enemies.
The Com Man hid from the truth, until he finally meet his match when four others wanted him to be honest and do the thing he said he could. The Witch however, was a bit smarter then the Con Man, she created an army of Flying Monkeys from those who knew no better then to trust her. Everyone in Oz was terrified that the Witch would seize control. We first are aware that the only thing the Witch feared was a random house falling upon her and crushing her. Donald Trump has enlisted his Flying Monkeys, those who would never want to be on the receiving end of their own bigotry, racism and stupidity, who instead to the calling of the bully for fear that they might be the next ones to be bullied. We watch the plight of four characters who only want the basics in life, a heart (compassion), a brain (the ability to think and become free), courage (the need to stand up for yourself knowing you are not different), and a home (a place of love), and how mistreated they were from the Con Man and fearful they were of the Witch. That is until by happenstance, a bucket of water falls on the head of the Witch and she melts away.
Donald Trump knows he is insecure, he understands that the only way to live his life is to squash the life out of anyone before they can step on him. He seems fearless and so far the media in this nation have not challenged him. The band of clowns running against Donald trump from the GOP were no match for Donald because they too had no idea (like Dorothy and her pals) that all it took was some water to destroy the facade of fear. FINALLY, Hillary has found her bucket of water and has begun to pour it over Donald’s head. Mr Trump squirmed, tried his best lies, his best bogus, his best bullying tactics but one the past few days only demonstrated his own lack of courage, his missing heart, his stupidity, and his distaste for love. It is time, as the characters in OZ discovered, to see the weakness in the Wicked Witch of the West (Trump), and not only pour on top of head one bucket of truth, but open the entire dam!
