Trump trial pure Hollywood

Dear Editor:

Hollywood is a place of intrigue, excitement and allure. Under all of this, it is often referred to as the hub of television productions and movie production.

It is here where many recognized actors have portrayed characters, both real and fictional, in the aforementioned productions. Some of these actors have received accolades and some, even Oscars for their portrayals. Having said this, you are probably wondering where this is going.

Lately, news media has been full of information on the trials and tribulations of Donald Trump. If this were a Hollywood production, it would be a total bust. The main character is flawed in so many directions and an insult to legitimate actors.

Nonetheless, Trump is an actor but one of ill repute. He thinks that he has charisma that he has carried over from his “dog and pony show episodes,” of The Apprentice. He hasn’t realized or refuses to realize that his one-time acting session is long since over and yet, he keeps acting.

True actors have scripts to read and follow so that the character that they portray comes across as actual. Donald Trump, who, on the other hand, follows no script, is flawed in so may ways.

It is difficult for anyone to follow his antics on a daily basis as he seems to be consistently inconsistent in anything he says or does.

True legitimate actors play real parts according to a plan. Donald is a loose cannon that seems to throw caution to the wind and let fly “come what may.”

From some reading I have done, I found that there are a considerable number of psychiatrists and psychologists who have stated that Trump displays many pathological conditions with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and compulsive lying being the two that seem to come up consistently. Early signs of dementia have also been mentioned. It was further stated that only direct testing would bear this out.

If you notice on a daily basis, Trump has on a blue, sometimes black suit on with a reddish tie that hangs down below his belt line. In character, he is complete with bronze toned makeup around the perimeter of his face. However, his ears are not included in the makeup which makes him look somewhat foolish. He goes about his daily routine like this, thinking, I’m sure, that he is God’s gift to mankind.

Hopefully, America will wake up in November and smell the real roses.
