Donald Trump has sparked outrage after posting a 'tasteless' AI video parodying the Yorkshire zoo tiger attack on social media, showing the president wrestling and taming the wildcat.
While I do agree most presidents were in it for the power and money, Trump is particular in that he really seems to enjoy cruelty much more than any US president we have ever seen. Yes the previous ones did surely allow and tolerate cruelty for power, I think Trump would simply want cruelty even if it did not materially benefit him. Because with other people, money and position makes them feel powerful. With Trump, money, position and cruelty makes him feel powerful.
It makes him more dangerous too, which is a signal which gets more profit.
But this has little to do with my point: Trump has taken a mask off, which the whole system was wearing. His cruelty is the moment the rapist drops his pants.
Hopefully just as his Presidency has been unfettered and undisguised capitalism, the next President will show unfettered, undisguised Socialism… Just as pure and devoted as Trump’s purely corrupt Capitalism.
