Watching the Trump phenomenon in the United States has become a Canadian pastime. It is almost as good as the Toronto Blue Jays making it to a bid for the wild card. Though it is nowhere near as exciting as the Canadians winning that faux World Cup of Hockey the other night.
But what puzzles Americans and Canadians alike is where this hatred comes from? Trump’s campaign is feeding on hatreds. It is reaping votes from ignorance. How can ‘born-agains’ support such an ungodly candidate? Is the American dream to be destroyed by a rape and pillage capitalist?
Donald Trump does not want to be President of the United States of America. He wants to be Emperor Trump I. He neither understands nor cares about the system of government of the country. He wants to rule. He wants to launch a dynasty. He wants to create a Trump Thousand Year Reich on North American soil.
And he hardly cares how. The litany of lies, fabrications, and falsehoods of his campaign are there for all who want to see to see. He has no interest in the truth. He titillates his mob. He has no truths for them. They feed on his fabricated rants and he suggests further lies to keep them coming back for the next episode. His is a campaign of hatred and they dose on it daily.
It is interesting that Secretary Clinton has stopped responding. She would prefer not to mention his name. It just seems there is little point to giving any credence to his abuse of truth.
Trump’s supporters are having to reach further and further each day to try to alibi his falsehoods. The best the other day was some purported tax documents from 20 years ago that showed his manipulation of the system. One foolish supporter told the media it shows how smart he is. If he was a serious candidate, he would release his tax returns. Serious candidates for President for many years have shown his (and now her) tax returns. It simply goes with the position.
But Trump stands defiant. He is not your ordinary candidate. He makes his own rules. Nobody tells him what to do.
He wants to be leader of the free world. And where would he lead?
