| Publisher Description: Far too many people don't pay attention to history which is why so many people, especially in America, fall prey to it. Had they been paying attention, they would have seen "Trumpism" alive and well throughout presidential history. I have documented a few examples but there are many more, believe me. This system could not have remained so racist, misogynistic and xenophobic for so long had there not been a system and a plan to hand the "baton of oppression" off from one cracker to the next. Donald Trump's escapades and cacophonies of emotive labeling are not the first time the white male ego paved the way for the eventual undermining of the nation's political system. I am a scholar in political science and have kept close watch on these white men and their egos. I sicken when these cry babies whine and ask about, "did you see/hear what Trump did today"? I am a history scholar and therefore I've read about and studied tens of thousands of Trumps throughout American history, and millions of examples of actions generated by these Trump-like individuals. I don't whine and cry - I preserve a record so that those who come after me will not continue to continual complaining and crying about that which I view as a white male norm. I have put together what I call "Trump Prototypes" as one part of this incredible analysis because so many presidential candidates before Trump committed the same kind of asinine mistakes that Trump has made, especially when it comes to their treatment of women, people of color and others. And let me add one more note. The media is involved in aiding and abetting Trump in his lies, his crimes, his perfidy, his cowardice and so on. As a journalist I know what the protocols and priorities should be, and in my view, for the sake of an ad sale, television and print have taken what should have been a slam dunk case of treason and sedition and stretched it out so that they could create more "special reports" and the like. In doing so, they covered Trump's ass, provided reasons and rationale for his lying tendencies and because he's a white male, they looked the other way in one case after the other. This fact is a key component of Trump as a white male prototype. The media is the voice of the American system. Look at how they came after us; how they castigated and critiqued the civil rights movement, the black power movement, the black arts movement, anti-segregation efforts and so on. There were no quarters given when it came to Black people and Latinos. But this is a white system with its own rules and in such a system bad guys make the news, if it bleeds it leads and "the hand that feeds, controls." Trump is America the way America doesn't want to see itself: vile, vulgar and devoid of values. He represents tens of millions of white folks who hold him up as a role model which explains why America is on the decline. When Trump said "Make America Great Again," what he really meant was "Make America GRATE Again." As you know, to "grate" something means to reduce it to small shreds by rubbing it on a grater, right? And another definition of grate is "to make an unpleasant rasping sound." To even her mention of the name "Trump" almost anywhere in the world literally grates on the nerves of most clear-thinking people. Only in America is he seen as someone with an active brain stem. |
