The right Trump card played by the wrong hand


Mr. Trump is not a status quoist - the weight of the presidential chair is not on him, it's t​​he other way around.

Finally, the American people have a President - one who is not crushing under the burden of the system. 

And the President is certainly dismantling not just the American, but the entire global order & economic structure, as we know it. 

His destination is not in doubt, what's at question is the road he's chosen to reach the end. 

So what went wrong?

Language (spoken, including the unsaid) is a testimony of character. 

What Trump's utterances seem to convey, is that - he'll make America Great but the prerequisite for that is, you must accept : He's Great ... first !

For evidence, he points at his own past. 

His past tells us that it's okay to run a few businesses to the ground before you make it big. It's okay to wreck a few marriages before you get a "perfect" one. 

And so his causation is - bad behaviour, as that leads to great achievement. 

The gurus preach - the path to success is not easy, it's Okay to fail on the way but it's not Okay to give up. 

Well, when Trump hears them, he just reduces them to cheerleaders with pompoms. 

And so, Trump does not enroll, nor convinces, he blazes on with an agenda to conquer. 

He's a classic case of one being - totally right but completely inappropriate. 

As he goes about scripting America's future, he forgets that unlike his own personal business or marriage, here it's not even his own chair that he sits on with the full weight of both - his heavy bodied self & memories of his supposedly brilliant past.

Someone needs to tell him just that, else when the election music stops, he’ll find somebody else sitting on the same chair !
