The mind of Donald Trump is a terrifying place -- that much is
obvious considering that, ten days in, his presidency is shaping up to be one of
the most horrible, destructive, dangerous, neo-fascist reigns
we've ever suffered through. What makes this horrible man so horrible?
Well, here's one theory: he's a resentful B&Ter, a child of the
outer boroughs who resents the "elites" and the high-falutin snobs of
Manhattan, and is using the powers of the nation's highest office as a
mode of payback. He's driven to hurt "those people" who look down on him, as well as "those people" who are, let's face it, not white.
I don't entirely subscribe to this theory - I'm the child of outer boroughers, I live in an outer borough, I know lots and lots and
lots of outer boroughers, and none of them are anything like this
gaseous horror befouling the White House. That said, there's some
interesting points in this article that defends the "outer borough
resentment" that fuels this man so it's worth a read.
Thankfully, here in the outer borough at JFK airport, people are protesting this man-- and being heard. Long may they continue. Short may he reign
