We would request that the reader not be prematurely “discombobulated” by our present theme and patiently withhold his initial reaction to our present contextual declaration until we furnish its empirically based elucidation. Our perceptively radical proposition, simply stated, is that as a fundamental matter, Donald J. Trump has never possessed the desire to be President of the United States. Despite his strident public proclamations to the contrary he observably was never personally inspired to inherit the awesome multitudinous responsibilities of that office. It is our view that his aspirations have fundamentally been otherwise.
It has been our view that Trump’s nuanced persona and lifelong motivation, dynamically analogous to our earlier described “infant terrible” who, in his petulant frustration, painfully kicks his mother in the shins, valuing the pressing need for personal attention a higher priority than the predictable punishment. In our view, Donald J. Trump has existed as a lifetime anachronistic replication of that obnoxious brat, ever thirsty for personal attention and neurotically perceived admiration. In the nuanced perception of the immature Donald Trump, everything, inclusive of moral principle, sound judgment, empirical understanding, utilitarian capabilities, and societal expectations is situated on an aspirational rung on the ladder of his neurotic expectations.
As we have come to perceive it, Trump, eternally thirsty for adulation, and frustratingly wavering between his personal status as a reputed real estate grifter (apprenticed from his paternal mentor) and simultaneously in constant search for personal adoration has as a consequence, experienced multiple divorces, engaged in brisk porno-star sexual commerce, maintained a religiously dedicated attendance at the celebrity studios of Jeffrey Epstein, (of reverential memory), committed acts of deceitful avoidance of military service, committed serial tax fraud and tasteless attempts at public celebrity. Trump’s lust for self-delusional ego-enhancement was exacerbated by his opportune selection as the television host at an inane game show, “The Apprentice” furnishing him further opportunity for him to be the public eye, and somehow bizarrely, resulting in his selection for candidacy for the Presidency by an opportunistic and discordant GOP.
In stark contrast to the centuries of American Presidential candidates, Trump had never, previous to his nomination, evinced a modicum of interest in politics or public service. Bizarrely, the advent of his tactical public expression of interest in politics was at his nomination to run for the office of the Presidency. This was, in our view, personally perceived by him as an opportunity for the acquisition of neurotically needed celebrity, and public adoration, far more relevantly needed than the opportunity for the highest honor of public service in the Nation.
Unlike Donald Trump, previous Presidential candidates in our history dedicated their lives to politics and political office. President Joseph Biden, age 81, from the age of 39, dedicated himself to political service; first, in Congress, then as vice-president, during the two presidential terms of Barack Obama, preceding his office as President. The current Democratic Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris served as District Attorney, Attorney General, and in Congress before being vice-president to Joseph Biden, Tim Walz, running was Harris’ vice-president is, politically, the Wisconsin Governor.
Further, during his four-year-twice impeached term as President, Trump evinced no political philosophy, doctrinaire beliefs nor espoused any political platforms; his public pronouncements motivated solely by his deranged, self-serving considerations.
Our orange-hair-dyed protagonist had never had an interest or participation in politics or political office, and rather, envisioned the prospective potential for celebrity and massive public adoration as positive factors attributable to holding the consequential National office. The Office of the President of the American Nation inarguably represented to the ego-oriented Man-child a superlative opportunity to indulge his eternal and unsatiable need for notice and admiration.
During his unprecedented term of office, it appeared that he had little interest in responsible governance, demonstrating an implacable ignorance and patent incapability in the leadership of the Nation; self-interestedly catering to his rich industrialist supporters and his base of cultish underbelly populist supporters; the latter sought-after category of adherents, rewarding him with needed, but undeserved adoration. As reported in the news media, Trump evinced little interest in responsible governance, negligently failing to attend White House briefings and strategic conferences. He publicly ignored the mortal National sin of treason in his public bromances with autocratic enemies of our Nation, who strategically and deceitfully catered to his selfish egoism and lifelong neurotic longing for love and attention.Winning and inhabiting the Oval Office for this neurotic man-child continues to be seen as the best and most productive source of his immature and systemically required adoration.
It is our perception that the American Presidency, as personally valued by him, inhabiting his singular and solitary bubble is thus, quite secondary and relevantly, beside the point.
