The melting pot of the world is seething with rage. The president of the United States is the chief inciter. He attacks everyone, even his own selection of the “best people” for his jobs. He is an attack dog, a bull who charges at every red flag that comes his way. He is rage personified, and he has seized the country by the throat out of the primal fear of losing his centuries-old status of primacy over others by being “white.”

The so-called whites of the world were not always the most dominant. Civilization itself began in Africa. The Persians of the Middle East were a formidable force, as were the Egyptians and many others now relegated to history. Whites became dominant in fertile Europe, where they fought each other for centuries as they colonized and imperialized the rest of the world. The United States of America emerged from that period. It was the rebellious offspring that has remained proud of its roots.

The global world of 2019 is still tainted with imperialist vestiges even as the internet’s information superhighway drives. The “little” people around the world want more than mere crumbs from the abundant world they see through “devices.” In this way the seeds of a global civil war are sown between those who “have” and those who “want”.

“When you are accused of privilege, equality feels like oppression,” said an anonymous expert. The observation could not be more applicable than to Donald Trump.

Many are born privileged but few as ostentatious as Trump. He received his first trust fund at the age of three and was a millionaire by 8. Ambition and wiles guaranteed by a father’s indulgence catapulted him to stardom as a real estate prodigy in the largely white New York market, no doubt pleasing the father. . that he was a convicted KKK member. Perhaps when the father died in 1999, the beloved son took up the torch.

Perhaps because business ventures failed, Trump dipped his toes in the political waters until the sweet spot was reached when the United States elected a black man as president, Trump kicked his way through Obama’s 8-year tenure, and then he came out with guns blazing to announce his candidacy with a promise. to put an end to the invasion of America by Mexican criminals. From there, he moved on to Muslim enemies and left black Americans an obvious human disaster for America. It wasn’t until Trump was safely in the White House that his true intentions began to become clear.

As Trump’s dissolution continues and becomes increasingly erratic and illogical, it seems clear that Trump is consumed by unspecified anger. He seems like he hates everyone, perhaps because his white male privilege hasn’t paid off in lesser ventures like casinos and real estate. Only the full powers of the American presidency could provide her with the full measure of appeasing his wrath.

Judging by his demeanor, Trump doesn’t care who he infuriates, as long as he keeps the chaos jumping long enough to cash in on America’s pocketbooks for as long as he can. He may believe that the United States is being invaded, but the important point seems to be that he can make others believe it. That is the link between Trump and the third of Americans who make up the base. They are angry about losing their white privilege, even if whiteness is the only advantage they have and especially if white privilege has not paid off for them.

White-hot anger doesn’t burn forever. The crucible does his job as long as he takes care of himself. So move on, you angry privileged whites. Make room for those who are not angry, privileged or not. White privilege has gone the way of the dinosaur. Global climate change has made it extinct.
