“The Trump Virus’s primary effect is
twofold: First, it implants in its hosts the unshakable conviction that one of
the most execrable clowns in history of these United States is a hero who
deserves to be elevated to the White House; then, having inculcated the
conceit, it removes the faculties that are necessary for its removal.”
Above is an excerpt
from Charles C. W. Cooke’s essay titled “Donald Trump – Trumpism Is a Virus” in
National Review. National review happened to be an iconic conservative
semi-monthly that was founded by none other than William F. Buckley.
The article was
published a year ago in August 10, 2015. A year ago, Trump was still considered
to be an insignificant fringe show of good entertainment. Things have
changed. Trump virus is now mightier than ever; the afflicted ones have become
increasingly ovine, rigid and un-nuanced when the world world-order has become
mightily nuanced.
Since the coronation of
Trump at RNC convention, Michael Moore and Robert Reich came with scary
scenarios where Trump, indeed, could triumph. In today’s (08/03/2016) New York
Times Thomas L. Friedman wrote: “It scares me that people are so fed up
with elites, so hate and mistrust Clinton and are so worried about the future —
jobs, globalization and terrorism — that a bare majority could still fall for
this self-infatuated carnival barker if he exhibited half a political brain.”
Yes,
the Trump Virus is proving to be scarier than the deadly Ebola or even the
currently trending Zika.
Death of Mahishasura was ingrained in the very boon
that provided him with near-total immortality. He too was killed by the most
unlikely of possibility – a woman!!
Donald, as he repeatedly says, he loves women;
at the same time his disdain for women is of epic proportion.
But
nope! Donald needed no Durga for his ultimate unraveling; all he needed is a
dead soldier, and precisely a dead Muslim soldier. Agape with incredulity J
Khizr
Khan, the father of the dead captain, did the doctoring. Trump Virus is slowly
relenting on its octopus grip in the gullible brains of millions. “Is this the beginning of the end for
Donald Trump?” – asks Dana Milbank in his yesterday’s (08/02) opinion piece
in Washington Post.
May be … Trump no longer tweets of incredible poll numbers !!!
