Most assuredly, not just anyone possesses the
democratic authority to sit in that most highly
respected of public institutions called the Oval Office.
But then this man is not 'just anyone', he is a
singular man whose acumen in the 'art of the
deal' is legendary, then tack on to that a mysterious
charisma capable of captivating a huge audience
manipulating their assessment of his sterling
qualities as a statesman-in-waiting in the belief
that as an office-holder of a benevolent and firm
executive overlooking the well-being of a nation
his decisions would be paramount to their own
future success, ushering him to power to confound
political competitors and the world at large. His
entitlement to the office confirmed he swept the
webs of intrigue and corruption aside to make
way for an era of volatile spur-of-the-moment
decisions, alienation of allies, abandonment of
treaties, denials of irregularities in his real estate
holdings, withholding taxes, punishing any who
resisted his immoral, illegal decisions, casting a
wide array of gratuitous personal insults on all
whose better natures offended his own. And when
finally the democratic process retaliated spurning
his expectation of gratitude for all his sacrifices
on behalf of the nation cast himself into the role of
an aggrieved juvenile threatening to abandon the
poor suffering country he had deviously divided
to achieve his ends by huffing off elsewhere in the
delusional belief that any other country harmed by
his casual assaults on reason would welcome him.
