Very good questions, with no good answers. Like many of us know, this problem has been ongoing for quite some time now. Trump is just playing his part, in this act. Politicians and billionaires (is there a difference?), along with movie stars, star athletes, and just celebrity types from every genre are the current aristocracy of this age. Things have not changed much at all, but we keep convincing ourselves of our monumental efforts and “giant leap”s we have made as a race of humans towards self improvement and better stewardship of the planet we claim ownership of. Most of which is just a bunch of over-inflated-half truths or just outright lies that may sound marvelous, but only serve to mask the underlying horror that we are still living in mid-evil times. Technological advancement has taken place, yes. But social, psychological, and economic progression have all been stalled out.

And this poorly contrived op-ed is so transparent, like many of the other pathetic games that have been played out in the public arena these past few decades. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take much to corral the majority of public opinions into complacency.
