Trump's True Colours.

I was just reading about Trump’s latest spat with TIME magazine and it appears to confirm what many of us have long suspected. You see the lies, the exaggerated claims, the fake self-aggrandisement publicity, the laughably overcooked projection of ego, and the fact that he doesn’t seem to understand that it all makes him look stupid, and what is there to conclude but that he is suffering a chronic case of severe emotional insecurity? Either that or he is a sad and immature little boy living in a big man’s body, and maybe they’re both the same thing.

So should we now start feeling sorry for poor little Donald? Well, this is the man who holds the position of President of the United States, the man to whom the rest of the world looks as the senior representative of his country. He wastes a lot of hot air on facile attempts to promote and defend the concept of patriotism even when it involves denying the right to legitimate protest, a fact in itself which many would deem to be further evidence of insecurity.

If Donald is so concerned with patriotism, isn’t it about time he dropped all the ego and childish self-promotion? Isn’t it time he stopped asking what America can do for him and ask instead what he can do for America? Isn’t the answer to that question pretty obvious, and should it take one insignificant little guy living in England to suggest it?
