I can only point out the behavior patterns of human error that keeps repeating itself throughout history. It was not that terribly long ago that post World War II when we entered the era of the Cold War and the Communism manifesto was distorted into a military regimental government and it became a game of contest. Who could build the most missile sites, who could abuse nuclear power and give it the wrong image in the worst way, who had the most fake documents to share with the spies.
Well America started shouting Pinko, building bomb shelters, and the along came Senator Joseph McCarthy who not only embraces the Red Scare but whipped it into a frenzy and decided to round up all of the Communists and anyone who supported or was friendly to Communism and bring them to trial. Didn't have a clue that Communism was not even created, invented, or proposed by anyone behind the Iron Curtain, it actually was created by prewar Germans, yes even before WWI. In fact the first Communist Manifesto was partly based on the labor movement in Britain that much later became the Labour Party. The Communism kick started by Lenin then flourished under Stalin is loosely based on the original Communist manifesto. If anything it is a mockery of socialism.
Not in the eyes of Senator McCarthy who put all Communists on the same plate. It offended so many people that they actually stood up against McCarthy and claimed to support Communism. Such people were well known in literary circles, entertainment, and society. What was he going to do? Lock up the people who millions of Americans looked up as their idols?
Now, Trump is not doing the exact same thing, but he is stirring the pot by serving up people because of their race, their culture, their religion, and blaming the crimes of the few on the whole of the culture of criminal. What? That is like saying that there has never been any domestic terrorists. You might as well say that Timothy McVeigh who blew up a government building in Oklahoma who was born in New York means that all those people in New York are bad apples. (sorry for the pun). Or let's look at his heritage, Irish American. Right then, it's those bloody Irish all their fault. Deport the lot. Yet Timothy was executed, practically forgotten now.
Thing is today we probably would have recognized that he suffered from post traumatic stress order which has been proven both common and critical among soldiers returning from active duty. So these days, he could have been helped, and such a tragedy would not have occurred.
Donald Trump is not a politician. He is not schooled in any field that would provided a background in politics. One of the most important thing about campaigning is diplomacy. He lacks this, instead he is only inciting his personal opinion and prejudices which only brings out the worst of those who have been stuffing those same raw feelings under the guise of "ahem" political correctness.
Look, there is no doubt Trump is a genius when it comes to being an entrepreneur, a high stakes magnate in the real estate industry which allowed him the privilege of being boisterous, outspoken, and quite creative in the entertainment industry, yet not everyone's cup of tea.
The truth about his attraction and you can count on that Donald Trump knows it as well because he just can't help himself, is, what is the next stunt that guy is going to pull out of his hat. Trump is clever like a fox, but he could just be pushing his limits a bit far. Running in a presidential electoral race puts your actions and comments not just to "fellow Americans" but it is broadcast world wide, not just as straight forward news journalism, but also yellow journalism and sensationalism in just about every form of media you can imagine. Some places it will translate as both and insult and a threat. I understand the world, and a great deal of the world lacks such understanding, tolerance, or patience. They will respond, and not kindly.
So, the question is, how can a man who claims that he is all about America and stands for what a true American is, would be so careless with such words? Why would he insult the ancestral heritage of Americans whose families have been here for a number of generations.
As my earlier examples, he comes from Scottish and German ancestors, well we all know how savage the likes of Robert the Bruce were. German? Oh no! A Nazi sympathizer! See, unfair, unfounded, bigoted accusations. Donald Trump needs to stay out of the realm of politics. He can voice his support all he wishes, everyone has that right, but running it is a whole different ball of wax. Let's be realistic by his own actions. If he made it, there would be the senate way and then there would be the Trump way. Nothing would get accomplished as there would be all kinds of veto wars. One can only imagine how one Julius Caesar had little or no respect for what the senate said.
Hey, I'm only saying. |
