Salon writer Brian Karem’s essay is worth reading and asking yourself whether he’s engaging in wishful thinking or not. Is Trump’s lifetime grift in its final act? He writes about how in his travels through red states he has found a begrudging acceptance among Trump supporters that President Biden has been, if not a good president, at least not a horribly bad president. He talked to people who still liked Trump but were growing tired of him.
Here’s the article:
There’s some good word-craft in his essay, for example:
Wherever Trump is this morning, the walls are probably painted in ketchup and broken china. His yellow, dilated eyes are evidence of his growing fear. The combination of terror, sweat and expelled body fluids have combined to make his turgid, fetid nest smell like Satan's outhouse. His fear is palpable and a big part of that fear is that he doesn't know what the Justice Department knows. That's why he wants someone, anyone, to tell the world what the FBI is up to.
Karem writes that he’s “content to let the wheels of justice grind on in their natural course because, having spent four years covering Donald Trump...” he goes on (my bold)… “I know where this will inevitably lead: to his prosecution, conviction and imprisonment.”
Then he concludes his essay as follows:
(Trump) cannot avoid the reckoning he is due, no matter how much he cries. Garland is a meticulous, smart prosecutor who won't give Trump the fuel he wants to ruin the prosecution. Careful, stealthy and quiet is the perfect way to investigate Trump, who is careless, bombastic, loud and rude. Remember Trump is a hollow man and we all know how they end: "Not with a bang, but with a whimper." Trump is whimpering not just because the world is catching up with him but because his lifelong grift is nearing its end. The world is putting him in its rearview mirror. He sees it. He knows it. He fears it. And ultimately, he can't escape it. He's done.
Do you agree? Take the poll and comment.
