leave Hillary out of it in THIS thread…in his own terms, what is Trump

Trump is to the Antichrist
What John the Baptist was to Christ

OK, I don’t believe in either, just being hyperbolic…

However, I truly do believe many artists, especially musicians can glimpse the future.

I think Mr. Frank Zappa was in such a state and nailed The Donald to a Tee with the following:

“I’m The Slime”

[backing vocals Tina Turner & The Ikettes]

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks . . .
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

You can make that claim against any candidate by your logic. Trump isn’t bought going in. Just like Perot. But unlike Perot He is in it to win. He knows the parasitic realities of trying to get something done with parasite politicians demanding money. Better infrastructure is in all our interests.

————————-

I think its a fair point that he cant be ‘bought’ by money.
Like Perot.

But I also think its a fair question to wonder if he is intoxicated by “power”.
Ya know. What does Trump really want, and what is influencing him? I dunno.
Maybe its some sense of altruism, mixed with the usual darker stuff — narcissism, ego, ambition, etc. All the usual stuff, lies, distortions, that Shakespeare wrote about.

But then, like you noted, you could say that about all the National Politicos.

Which is why i dont pay much attention to the “personality” stuff, concerning Trump or Clinton or anyone. Its the policies to me. Just the policies. I dont even care how Trump got his money (inheritance, corruption, etc)

Anyway, its a fascinating election. Just fascinating. Surreal too, as usual.
