Donald Trump is like a whirling dervish in a china shop, oblivious to the havoc and destruction he is wreaking while the shop owner, employees and customers panic and try to stay out of the path of destruction.
Trump has always thrived in chaos; he embraces chaos and draws energy from its destructive fury.
Trump was a novice politician when he entered the 2016 presidential race, but he was a veteran at causing chaos and benefiting from it. The stable genius upended the race, rendering his seasoned political foes impotent and helpless at his unconventional campaign that relied on vulgar insults, childish name-calling, and outrageous lies.
After Trump steamrolled over his Republican challengers and beat Hillary Clinton senseless and became President of the United States, the chaos didn’t end, he didn’t suddenly become presidential and rational.
The Trump presidency has been an endless roller coaster ride, where the roller coaster periodically flies off the tracks only to magically land back on track. Trump has not only survived the chaos of the Muller investigation, impeachment and the Ukraine scandal, but has emerged stronger and seemingly invincible.
But chaos always wins, it will envelop and vanquish even the most horrible tyrants. With the general election only five months away, Trump finds himself paralyzed by the coronavirus pandemic and the racial unrest unleashed by the callous and brutal murder of yet another unarmed black man by the police.
Elections are a referendum on the incumbent, and with unemployment at record levels, the economy is shambles, tens of thousands killed by the virus and our cities in flames, not even Trump can survive this unfathomable chaos.
Trump will leave office with America in a state of chaos, it will require the goodwill and tireless effort of a united people to rebuild our democracy.
