Is Trump really the Hamburglar? And was that the craziest moment of his presidency? No, there will always be more<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Donald Trump is America\u2019s cartoon president.<\/p>\n

Monday evening, he hosted the national collegiate football champions, the Clemson Tigers, at the White House. Magnanimous and proud, smiling and generous, Trump presented a smorgasbord. The offerings? Hundreds of hamburgers and other food items from McDonald\u2019s, Wendy\u2019s, Burger King and Domino\u2019s Pizza. The food was served lukewarm if not cold. Trump posed while a painting of Abraham Lincoln looked down upon him with an expression of evident disgust could not be more plain.<\/p>\n

If Donald Trump is the worst of everything about America\u2019s national character, then his fast-food feast is the perfect accompaniment and metaphor<\/a> for his presidency and the social forces that propelled him into office. It is all a spectacle; the substance which does exist is toxic, a black hole pulling and bending reality to Trump and his enablers\u2019 whims and needs, an authoritarian singularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
