Where Beagles Dare

Trump sees himself as a figure of high drama but it's all bathos. He's an idiot and an oaf and a loser and a buffoon. In this election the bathosphere beckons to all of America. We can make ourselves ridiculous. There will never be an equivalent of an opera or real drama for Trump, like Nixon in China. 

His would be a farce or a takeoff on a comic operetta with a theme, perhaps, of piracy, mistaken identity, adultery or impersonation. Picture Donald wailing away in full costume in a light comic opera. It's perfect. He's an actor in his own life, in search of an identity, or a character in search of an author.

He's asking us to give his life meaning and reality, as others always have for him, and he keeps-on because there's nothing inside and it's never enough. He's empty and wanting to be filled but there's nothing for it to adhere to. I am against granting his request. God help us and our nation if we do.
