Trump’s Wasteland

“…the subject loses the power of significant affirmative action and becomes a victim to be saved. His flowering world becomes a wasteland of dry stones and his life feels meaningless. All he can do is create new problems for himself and await the gradual approach of his disintegration.” — Joseph Campbell, “Hero with Thousand faces”

“Even for those who follow President Trump regularly and understand his shorthand, it became challenging to follow his train of thought during a news conference on Tuesday.” Doug Mills/The New York Times
