Donald Trump is telling the evolutionary throw-backs who attend his rallies that the upcoming midterm election is about him. Trump, a self-absorbed fool who worships at the pool of Narcissus, believes that everything is ultimately about him. He is pushing his orangutans onward, encouraging them to show their support of him by voting Republican up-and-down the ballot.
Some Republicans will undoubtedly win their elections in November, though by the time Trump quits patting himself on the back for their victories, those winners may feel that they are little more than frayed bookmarks in the Gospel of Donald John Trump.
Some Republicans will also lose their elections in November, with even a few incumbents likely to feel the agony of defeat. Those losers will be left to flounder on their own. While Trump will own the victories, Republican losses will the the fault of others: the candidates themselves, their staffs, Hillary and her emails. Trump will slather blame far and wide, but he will not step in it.
Before the 2016 election, back when Donald Trump was expecting to lose, he was promoting the notion that the election was "rigged" and he made it clear that he might not accept the results of the contest between himself and Hillary. If Trump came out on the losing end, it would be because "they" cheated - and he would be able to keep his name in the press for additional months and months as he took his reality show on the road to harangue about the rigged results.
That's how narcissists roll. It's always about them - and the news is always good, glorifying even. But if the news sours, well, that's on somebody else.
I find myself agreeing with Trump's boast that the upcoming midterm election is all about him. Through careful manipulation of the media that he purports to hate, Trump controls the national agenda and dialogue. The election will be about him because he has made it about him.
For the first time in two years, Donald Trump is fixing to get an update on the country's view of his job performance. If it is a good report, he will cloak himself in victory and loudly extoll his virtues to the entire fawning world. But if the electoral report finds Trump to be lacking, heads will roll as he relentlessly moves to rid his administration of those who made him look bad.
One has to wonder if there is a path ahead where America will ever be able to rid itself of Donald John Trump - a man who cannot fathom being defeated. Would he ever surrender power to something as mundane as a ballot box? Could he survive watching the spotlight shift to someone else?
November 6th is about Donald Trump - and it will also be a harbinger of things to come.
