| Description | Trump’s fraudulence has elevated him to the highest echelons of business and, now, politics, but his fraudulence is what makes him so aggressive the minute the slightest resistance to him reminds him that he is a fraud. That is why, at the end of his first day in Washington after winning the election, he fled from master politicians like Ryan and McConnell and, above all, Obama, to the comforting sanctuary of his Manhattan penthouse. That is why he has not held a single press conference since the election, preferring to communicate to an apprehensive country via video on YouTube. That is why he seems determined to spend half his time as president living not in the White House, but in his penthouse.
Trump flees to his tower the way Kramden ensconced himself in his tenement apartment, both figures—the little man with his wounded ego and his big heart, and the big man with his wounded ego and his shriveled heart—only truly at home with their fantasies. |
