“A tale Told by an idiot”

“Life is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” — William Shakespeare

Eliot Asher Cohen, Dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, writes in The Atlantic, “Trump’s Enablers Will Meet Their Shakespearean Ends”.

“The Bard had a rich sense of the creeps and criminals, sycophants and slimeballs, weirdos and wing nuts who hang around power…What we are watching is…a malignant narcissist’s psyche collapsing in on its hollow core. That process may be of clinical or purely malevolent interest, but it’s not the stuff of tragedy, because Trump is really only a few shards of a genuine human being.”

In ‘“Ivanka may want to read Shakespeare’s “King Lear”’ ( https://link.medium.com/pTqKXsLczcb ) I wrote,

This is “Lear and Cordelia in Prison”, awaiting their fate, by William Blake

In trump’s final days Ivanka may want to look-out for Ted Cruz, her Edmund, and Mitch McConnell her father’s fool. Both will be looking for every opportunity to remove her and her father from any small bit of political influence.
