Daffodils are like that: they think the world begins and ends with them. Cocteau defined narcissists as those who insist on talking to you about themselves, when you are dying to talk about yourself. But it is no less true that daffodils have found the best waters to look at on social networks. No matter how much they end up drowning in its depths, as Ovid warned them more than two thousand years ago, when there was no Twitter but Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, who was in charge of punishing pride.
Donald Trump is the quintessential narcissism. After appearing defiant in the New York State Supreme Court, where the court charged him with 34 crimes, including paying bribes to a porn actress, he returned to his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. , and spoke to his followers. The first thing he said in an incendiary speech is that the United States is going to hell, when he would most likely end up in hell.
Trump accused the Democrats of persecuting him using State resources, attacked the Prosecutor's Office for their animosity towards him and concluded that his only crime was defending the nation. And he announced that he will fight to return to the White House to save the country. CNN interrupted the speech and the presenter excused himself: "We expected Trump to talk about what happened today."
The world does not deserve a character of the ethical and moral character of the former president to be able to hold office again. Merely not accepting the latest election result and encouraging the storming of the Capitol should disable him forever. But not even the possible sentence will be able to prevent him from running, if he wins the Republican nomination. And we would return to lies, chaos and corruption. The image of the United States would be greatly damaged, as well as its democracy.
Anyway, there is a hopeful fact: Trump called the masses to demonstrate in New York in favor of him and barely gathered a few hundred freaks. There were more journalists than supporters of the daffodil. The only traces left by the day were the fingerprints of Trump's fingers as the police processed his arrest.
