“You would have to be ethically anesthetized not to detest such an obviously loathsome beast but the only thing more horrifying than this pathological trainwreck’s still buoyant popularity is the fact that he actually isn’t all that unusual among his fellow elites who seem to only begrudgingly tolerate his existence when they aren’t using their dying news empires to openly declare him to be the reincarnation of Gilles de Rais. We all seem to forget that Donald is in fact one of them, the gilded class of American aristocracy that floats effortlessly back and forth through the revolving doors of big business and big government. This is largely because both Trump and his ilk of swampland predators have quite a bit invested in the notion of him being exceptional. But he’s not.” (03/02/25)
