The Art of the Dole

At Trump-corps the real art is real-time rebranding. It's a virtual-reality operation, a chance to live within a game world since the parents are still paying the bills.

The parents are us. The problem with Trump is not Trump, it's us: our desire to regress to a simpler place--to join junior, the Trumpster, at a summer camp that goes on forever.

But somebody has got to play parent. Someone has got to pay the bills. Trump represents the fantasy of staying on vacation forever but every summer comes to an end.
