With the Epstein distraction causing as much blowback as it does to Trump, he now doubles down on the all important 'spectacle'. Trump's three ring circus. In his center ring, Iran. Step up and take a bow Iran. Drum roll please.
Unfortunately this quote below does not work out as a liability to Trump as it should, and would for anyone else.
To the Teflon Don, it is job security.
QuoteSpectacle politics does not require loyalty to specific leaders but to the emotional narrative they embody, rendering individual figures ultimately expendable.
Since Trump is only a figurehead to the bicameral mind it is fine with America that he is a narcissistic idiot with dementia. America lost the kind of reflective inner voice modern humans once had, so it is all good. Trump satisfies the now more simple American emotional narrative. Trump is what America craves. That is all that matters in America's flyover paradise. So damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead. Here we go, we're doing it.
