While
the Bard of Avon may not have quite imagined this particular
invocation, there is more than a little Shakespearean resemblance in the
travails of the embattled and embittered monarch careening from one
self inflicted wound to the next.
"No
politician in history- and I say this with great surety - has been
treated worse or more unfairly." While this phrasing may be plodding and
not possess the depth or gravitas of the great poet, Mr. Trump does wax
inelegantly as one unjustly persecuted, maligned and mistreated.
It
is as if we are witness to a play of universal and epic proportion,
unfolding scene by scene, the audience in rapt attention, the scrivener a
master at bringing those in attendance to an emotional fevered pitch.
I
believe Shakespeare would have much admired the complexity of this
work, the stage filled with characters of intense passions, the
maelstrom created by a person of moral depravity, immense ego, consumed
with an insatiable desire to be revered. From the most elevated of
heights, performing a high wire act where the next strong gust could
result in the most incredible of falls.
A tragedy both unimaginable and as real as today's news. From the mind of the Bard of Washington.
