Nobody plays the victim like President Trump. His self-portrayal is that of a comic book superhero waging a lonely battle against sinister forces bent on eliminating him so they can get on with destroying America.
Biased political reporters, deep state globalists, judges and Supreme Court justices who keep striking down his illegal power grabs, Republican turncoats, commie Democrats, freeloading U.S. allies, a Nobel Prize committee that stubbornly refuses to recognize his superlative contributions to world peace. Trump’s foes are legion.
From Pope Leo on down, anyone who dares oppose or simply disagree with our thin-skinned whiner-in-chief invites a fusillade of Trumpian invective. The trick here — what makes his big con work — is his ability to convince the MAGA faithful that his critics are all effete elitists who hate America and look down on ordinary working folks like them.
But it turns out that objective reality gets a vote too. No amount of presidential gaslighting can overcome the felt experience of U.S. voters. Too many working Americans don’t like what they’re experiencing today, and most blame Trump. Once again, he’s proving to be his own worst enemy.
