“We’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
~ Donald Trump, July 26, 2024
A political week like no other
Chilling words from a lunatic running for re-election as President of the United States. He said this at a rally in Florida on July 26, 2024 and people cheered. Or did they? I don’t know but to me they tell us everything we should know about the mental state of this man. He is insane.
It would be easy to dismiss him as a crazy person out of touch with reality. But there were thousands of people there to see him. Cult leaders are always crazy, but they still manage to build a rabid following, often of people who feel left out of society, who find that cult a family that welcomes them.
Our need for acceptance is so powerful that we can be willing to discard our core selves to find it. Donald Trump instinctively saw this and realized it was his ticket to the highest position in the land and possibly the world.
An irresistible temptation to a narcissist willing to do or say anything for attention and acceptance himself. An ego monster powered by inherited money and a canny monkey brain willing to use any means to achieve his goals, legal or not.
