Donald Trump is a colossus. He alone was capable of saving the country from Hillary Clinton and the liberals. America was treated with contempt by the rest of the world during the Obama apology years, but today, everything has changed. Everyone respects us, the economy is running hot, we win every day, and America is great again!
But Donald Trump is also a victim. He is harassed mercilessly by the MSM and the Democrats. The judicial system won’t do his bidding. His friends and appointments invariably turn on him. The deep state battles him every day. No wonder he can’t get anything done. Everyone should feel sorry for him; Lord knows, he feels sorry for himself.
It’s a ridiculous mindset, on its face, but it appears to be shared by a large number of his fellow reactionaries. It is largely this combination of bravado and mutual victimhood which binds the billionaire casino owner and developer from New York City with his struggling white working class supporters. How can it be overcome? Not by lectures like the “1619 Project,” that’s for sure.
