The Boy Who Would Be Bling

Donald Trump was always a political happy meal and he's losing momentum. He says he wants to supersize us but it's all about him: short term satisfaction but no sustenance.

Trump is for people who buy the "Corinthian Leather" line. There was none. Or "Axis of Evil," for that matter. It had a nice ring. Trump is for people who don't care about the truth.

No, they actually like the lie. But even aesthetics are rooted in a kind of truth so you can only have sham aesthetics without it. Enter our new national hood-ornament, Herr Donald.

He can buy all the pink marble he wants and gold-plate his gonads. It won't change anything. He's still nothing but bling, all marketing and no substance. It's his chosen thing.
