He is like a mad king buffeted by the winds of chaos breathing bombast and casting blame, believing his own delirious fantasies, railing at the world to relieve itself of its pitiful love of order and decency, goodwill, honour, and adherence to facts. His followers crowd around, applauding and cheering at every stumble and reversal, in this upside down world. The intelligent and the good stand by silenced by the roar of madness that defies reason and rationality. He believes that this is power but real power does not deal with destruction, it creates.
He presents no vision for the future, except empty, simplistic words. It's going to be beautiful he says, such as has never been seen before, we are going to have money pouring in ... And the rest of the world stands by abandoned by a nation that once was great, trying to take seriously, and deal respectfully, where there is only delusion and bullying overbearing ignorance.
He is wedded to untruth, and deeply anti-social.
Trying to enter this world to appease it, will exhaust you.
Believe his story, and you must abandon your own sanity.
The most powerful story is the truth, based on facts as best we can ascertain them. We live with uncertainty, what we know is so scant compared to what we don't know. We need to live with the humility of this, to be grounded in this.
