خانه کلنگی ترامپ!

 

Ugly House

Donald Trump has officially entered the US presidential race,  championing his campaign slogan of “make America great again”. Though sounding promising, this slogan is debatable and devoid of merit.

All indications in the US point to Trump’s victory this November, but this victory does not mean Trump can make good on his MAGA promise.

The question that Trump needs to field is which greatness is he talking about when he promotes the slogan of “make America great again”. Which part of US history is he boasting about?

Mr Trump, unfortunately the US you are adamant on “making great again”is tantamount to an ugly house that can no longer be remodeled.

Mr President, your US is an ugly house. The problem is that this ugly house was from the get-go founded on flimsy and shaky pillars.

Mr President, your upcoming victory in the elections will afford you a historic chance to put the last nail in the coffin of the  collapsing US.

The downfall of the US is comparable to a cancer that has metastasized for a long time.

Old man, you symbolize the end of a myth that has, since World War II, deceived the world into believing that the US epitomizes and represents the free world.

You will definitely win the elections but your victory will be the end of the American dream which once gave the world hope, aspirations, and penchant for a better life.

Today,  that American dream has diminished into pinning hope on an old man who symbolizes senility, inertia, immorality, and lack of purpose for a nation that was once supposed to turn this earth into a heaven of happiness and prosperity.

Mr Trump,  fifty years ago your predecessor Richard Nixon confessed in his book In the Arena that in the US money is not everything. It’s the only thing.

At least Nixon was realistic and honest enough to accept that his country and his nation was one-dimensionally defined by money whose fluctuations would determine the value of human beings. A country founded on money and gaining, or losing, happiness,  prestige, and value with money. And in the absence of money, people will be nobodies no matter the level of their knowledge, values, and insight.

Mr Trump, over 30 years ago, concurrent with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Iranian leader Khomeini warned Gorbachev of rosy US promises. He said that sovereignty and economy were not the  main problems of his country but rather lack of morality and faith in God were the main problems.

Mr Trump,  Khomeini tried to enlighten Gorbachev of the plight facing his country but Gorbachev did not get the message just like you don’t and won’t get it either

Mr Trump, your victory will seal the myth of the American dream,  as today there’s not much left of that American dream but the fall of the US in the quagmire of immorality, meaninglessness, and lack of identity.

Mr Trump,  the US ended a long time ago. Today you  will be at the helm of a country whose citizens,  in the absence of ethics, humanity, and morality,  have turned into 250 million robots whose sole responsibility is to correctly perform their roles in the money-minded system and pursue robotic lives and relationships in an infirmary known as the US.

Mr Trump,  twenty years ago your fellow citizen famed Hollywood producer Vadim Perelman depicted your country realistically in the House of Sand and Fog.

Mr Trump, the house Perelman depicted is the reality of your finished  US. The movie opens with the police asking the homeowner Kathy, “Is this your house?”  and Kathy confidently responding “yes”.  At the end of the movie and in response to the same question, Kathy responds  “no” as she no longer feels any affinity to this house which symbolizes the US, a house revolving around money,  devoid of morality,  and lacking human kindness.

Mr Trump,  owning such a house is not something to be proud of. You can’t boast of owning such a house nor can you feel affinity with it or be able to reconstruct it.

Mr Trump, you are too late. It’s finished.
