Americans and their celebrity obsessed, reality tv consuming asses are getting what they asked for.
The don’t make me think — just entertain me culture that has been taking shape since the advent of social media — culminated, on Tuesday November 8, 2016.
Real House Wives, Basketball “Wives” Big Brother, The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars, Love and Hip-Hop. All examples of mindless distractions that keep the people from paying attention to things that matter. Do you think Donald J. Trump hadn’t noticed this? He ran a reality show himself. He’s witnessed the ins-and-outs of not only the industry, but what it is people really want to see.
America has also long been an unhealthy celebrity worshipping society. Certain people are worshipped like Gods, because they have money, or appeared on a glowing screen — big or small. More emphasis is place on those who have “made it” then those who actually save lives or teach our children for a living. Do you think Trump hadn’t taken note of that?
Donald Trump’s whole campaign was built on vitriol, narcissism, and polarizing content.
The combative nature is straight out of the reality show playbook.
Here’s an excerpt from a recent variety.com article,
“He’s not really talking about anything else other than what he’s doing and what other people are saying about what he’s doing,” Lawrence Epstein, a former CBS News finance director who now teaches at Drexel, told Variety. “If you’re marketing a television show, especially a new television show, that’s what you want to do. You don’t want the attention to be focused on [anything else], so you’re not going to comment about it. You’re going to talk about what’s new and exciting about your show.”
In other words, The Donald is walking Clickbait. And the Americans who voted for him fell for it. Now we are all stuck with him, hoping for the best.

Exactly. I’m hopeful for great results, but I’m not holding my breath either. I can’t quite put my finger on him. Sometimes it feels like he just adores the attention, and other times he makes me feel like i’m underestimating his abilities.

He is definitely seeking and adoring the attention..
I think he takes it all as a big joke..
because he doesn’t think he needs anything and that his power and richness makes him indispensable ..
but…
He’s in for a very rude awakening..
and I’m hoping I’m right…
Let’s give him enough rope to hang himself…

Trump won because the 1%ers who are old white supremacists wanted to send a big Fuck you to the rest,of the world because they are tired of feeling “oppressed” This was their way of reasserting white supremacy and power.

I agree bro. Great assessment, especially the “walking click bait”. Facts don’t even matter anymore, it just has to be outrageous and visceral.
People keep questioning Trump’s competency. I think he is intelligent. He knows the game and he is playing it … well.
