How Mark Burnett Resurrected Donald Trump as an Icon of American Success
With “The Apprentice,” the TV producer mythologized Trump—then a floundering D-lister—as the ultimate titan, paving his way to the Presidency.

The ratings were spectacular. The truth was cancelled, the critics were sued, and the opponents waited to hear their names. The audience kept watching, because nobody could remember where they had left the remote. And they all lived anxiously ever after.

Blustering, bullying, name-calling, suing critics and threatening to jail opponents were cheered as strength, and every cruelty drew a bigger round of applause. And so, one day, a reality TV host became president.

Frightened people gladly traded their own insecurities and fears for an agenda of hate, because hating someone felt so much better than fearing everything. As more of them struggled with complex words, simple stories won, and leaders who spoke of enemies, villains and slogans flourished.

Its politicians whispered of communists under the bed, liberals at the school gates and strangers at the border, until neighbours began to look like enemies. Christian nationalism and guns became the tests of who was truly American, and those who failed them learned to keep quiet.

When the stories ran thin, it dug up old divisions, North and South, Black and white, city and country, and found they had never really been buried, only waiting.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful country called America. It had no long shared past, so it made one up, and when that wasn’t enough, it made everything bigger, louder and available in extra large.

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

Grown men in the most powerful jobs on earth, staging a livestreamed execution and telling a state to turn on its neighbours is not strength. It’s pathetic.

📌This naked statue of Trump, The Orange Plague, in the European Parliament in Strasbourg is exactly how you handle this deviant, who uses his office to celebrate himself, and crush others. He needs to know that THIS is how he will be remembered when he finally takes his last gasp.

A self-described “very stable genius” now wants artificial intelligence renamed “super intelligence “. Apparently, both human and machine intelligence can be assured by choosing sufficiently flattering adjectives.

The US midterm elections should have international observers in every state. Independent observation is what failing democracies need. It’s also what strong ones aren’t afraid of.

Donald Trump is America's Adolf Hitler! If you support him in any fashion, you are a NAZI! If you think for one second he wouldn't get his tiny mushroom rocks off marching people like me into an oven for hating his guts & calling him out, then you are on more drugs than his son Toot Toot, JR is!

The Constitution designed to prevent just this type of occurrence didn’t stand up. I guess all rules based societies rely on the ‘Good Chaps’ theory to some extent and fail when bad actors with no shame or sense of decency take control

There is no one better at calling out #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS than Bobby De Niro. He has this administration pegged as well as Congress and SCOTUS. ‘The Executive has descended into a cesspool of corruption, stupidity and cruelty.’ You’ll want to watch this, it’s pure🔥🔥💥💥💥

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

I’m struggling to find my political self so asked and prompted AI. I sit very clearly in social‑democratic territory, pro-market, but with a strong, redistributive state, high‑quality universal services, and a willingness to tax the top more to make that work.
