Is ‘Donaldus Dealus’ the savior of Western Society?

There can be little doubt about ‘The Donald’ now being “all the rage”.

Any media scribes, including the 24 National Review ones impertinently questioning whether Trump’s really a conservative are branded as “conservative coyotes”.

It’s an era of long knives, one in which you don’t always know the direction from which the next shiv is coming ; an era in which more than ever seeking public office means your mother, father, or wife get dragged into the mix if their livelihood is even remotely close to the enemy camp.

Most vitriol is aimed at the presidential contenders in the conservative camp, leaving a wide break for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

The name calling in the comment sections of online publications has plummeted to new lows.  Everyone and his uncle’s a “purist” now, and God help those who travel even an inch away from the holier-than-thou purist camp. Completely drowned out in the presidential primaries is what good men like Ben Carson have to say; and all other issues which depart from the bitter contest between Trump and Senator Ted Cruz.

Eight years on and what we have before us is another celebrity cult that takes no prisoners.

More vociferous than any Mama Grizzly, Donald J. Trump has captured and packaged how the masses feel about jihadists gaining entry into their country as helpless “refugees”. He is successfully standing down all media ‘toughies’, including Fox News’ self-styled, Vanity Fair presented Megyn Kelly. Trump—and only Trump—puts media egos in that place they should already have been: reporting on the news rather than competing to be the news.

Bully for him.

Trump, whose book Art of the Deal is also a raging success, is the Deal Maker par excellence of his day. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal doesn’t matter anymore because most long ago stopped reaching for it on the library shelves.

If Election 2016 doesn’t turn America around again, the Western world will sink out of sight
But what all those now marching in the Donald Trump craze should be far more worried about is this: It’s not the deals Trump may or may not be able to make post-election, but the deals he may have been able to make before ever getting into the race.

Instead, prominent conservative writers are turning the house upside down tossing out a morsel from the moldy loaf of bread that Trump, that scalawag, is not really a Conservative.

Fat hint, National Review: After almost 8 years of conservatives being smeared as “red necks”, “Islamaphobes”, “racists”, and ” bitter Bible clingers” by the last celebrity who made it out of the gate, hardy any one is Conservative any more. For the sake of survival too many thought they had to become Conservatives in Secret.

Trump is the unstoppable rising star of his own celebrity cult. Everyone knows his name, but not necessarily all the components of his game.

One of the problems of the celebrity cult is that in the very midst of their their loud “rah, rahs!” they carry us off in a cloud of euphoria brought on by emotions rather than common sense.

Evil leaders rose out of the smoke and mirrors of celebrity cults down through history, but there’s no doubt at all that Western society is still paying the price for the most recent one that took half of America’s voters by surprise back in 2008.

“Is Obama a Christian? “Is Obama a Marxist?” “Is the birth certificate he uploaded on the Internet for real?” are still questions without answers as this one starts trekking viral: “Is Donald Trump really a Conservative?”

At the very time when it’s most needed there’s another New Deal looming big on the horizon. Millions are hitching their wagons to the ideal of Donald Trump making America great again.

This time we’d better be right because if Election 2016 doesn’t turn America around again, the Western world will sink out of sight.

Tragically, so many of We the People are wishing on a star when sincere sustained prayers would go so much further.
