Book: Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: (MY TAKE) or how we wound up with Trump

I heard Kurt Anderson speak on CNN today and I found him interesting. His point was if it is ONLY religion that people decide what is true and what is not true and they are not killing anyone over their beliefs he said he thought that was okay. The problem becomes when you become deranged like Trump who uses no facts at all in this decisions sort of like someone on "Acid" or Cocaine where the facts are completely made up. This is why many people believe Trump to be somewhat of a Cocaine Addict because when he talks he sounds just like many rich people get who are addicted to cocaine and believe whatever they come up with whether it is based upon real facts or not.

I presently agree with people who think that Trump is deranged. However, you might say the same of many Reality Stars in the business who live in a completely made up world that the sometimes come to believe is real.

Many people who are world travelers like myself often refer to the U.S. as "Disneyland" because there isn't anywhere else where people are as separated from blood and guts reality as much as they are here in the U.S.

 

Yes. There are realistic people but they are mostly soldiers and policemen and women. But, it is also possible to live in a complete "Disneyland" as Trump appears to do sort of with maybe "Senile Dementia thrown in for good measure. 


We have all met really brilliant people who are also crazy and often soon dead from doing crazy things like driving their cars 200 miles per hour or taking drugs or both at the same time. But, what is now needed as a leader in the U.S. is someone with common sense. Trump is brilliant but he doesn't appear to have common sense (unless you consider someone suicidal as also having common sense). Because this is how I classify Trump and Kim Jong Un that they have in common because both demonstrate  Suicidal-Homicidal personalities.
