The true face of America?
The true face of America - that is what Iran called Trump. There is no
love lost between our two nations (I am blessed with Iranian friends who
translate my work, so I mean the ruling politicals of Iran). But so:
Trump symbolizes the ugly American---a marauding, selfish jingoist who
rolls over anyone and anything that does not serve him. I read my share
of Noam Chomsky (politics, not linguistics), and despite the dirty
tricks and black ops, I still believed we were a great nation, flawed
but still honorable, still great. Is Trump an outgrowth of who we really
are, or a fluke of tweeting and too much TV? Have we been developing
into an authoritarian state all along, or is Trump anomalous (and soon
gone, I hope)?
