Trump presents an alternative view of reality. This works well, often because reality is pretty big and most of us see only a very small part of it. The interesting thing is when his alternate reality comes into contact with real reality. Awkward I know, but bear with me. On the most trivial level, we saw it with the national state fair, something Minnesotans know a great deal about and about which Trump knows nothing at all. To anyone who has actually been to one, Trump's event bore no resemblance at all to a state fair. The disparity between the alternative and the real could not possibly have been any wider or more apparent to even the most casual viewer. Gaslighiting, just doesn't work in those situations.--Hiram
A far more significant exaimple of the clash between the alternative and the real is the Iran War. Wars are the real at it's most extreme. Their realities cannot be argued wdith, only withheld. In this case, the example of the real is the Strait of Hormuz. It exists, as does the boat traffic that passes through it. There is no point in pretending that it is not there. But in the planning stages, that realness could be ignored, and the fictions could be embraced. But once the war started, once we embarked on the real those fictions disappeared, dreams from which Trump, if no one else, awakened. He should have been more woke, I suppose==Hiram.
So what we are left with is what we saw last night, a pathetic old man from whom reality of any kind is slipping away. He still pushes the buttons, but increasingly he is finding they aren't connected to anything. A man who fears ridicule more than anything is retreating in to a fantasy of his own making, one where he is respected and not laughed at.==Hiram
I am a soccer fan. I knew who Erling Haaland was before last month. Jude Bellingham was not unknown to me. I knew that Macallister despite playing for Liverpool was Argentinian not Scottish. I have been wondering how Trump would match up with the world's most popular and most political sport. Sunday is going to be interesting. Trump will be in a stadium with 80,000 people, not a single one of whom likes him, or is shy about expressing it in the most vocal and most obscene terms possible. And the game should be good too.--Hiram
Excellent comments !!!
