The wall seems to be rising on Donald Trump. The most controversial US presidential candidate and renegade Republican is trying to shore up support amid flagging popularity, which is hard to make out despite the Wisconsin battering. He has started talking about walls again — though apparently not sure if he will be able to make one. The billionaire has spawned an industry from masks to mugs to jokes amid the hotting up US election scene in which Hillary looks to be surging ahead despite Bernie Sanders’ finger-jabbing recriminations.
After the Wisconsin defeat, Trump seems apparently unfazed, though actually he is not. His campaign team has started fulminating ahead of the forthcoming primaries that would decide if the contest in which the gloves have come off would turn bloodier. The billionaire and reality TV star whose campaign demeanour has cast a shadow on US election history and the efficacy of one of the largest democratic exercises in the world, is likely to rile more people as the campaign goes down to the wire.
Fresh from two recent spikes in the Trump controversy curve, the real estate tycoon who traces his origins to placid Scotland has not at all been graceful in defeat.
First he got into a tangle with the amiable Ted Cruz, passing unsavoury remarks about his family life and dragging his wife into the controversy. Cruz was not one to be cowered, and Trump got back what he deserved.
Next came his campaign manager who was accused of tugging at the arm of a journalist who tried to approach the maverick businessman-turned-politician. The bruised arm of the journalist had the international media erupt in a fireball. Trump’s haughty disposition has not only shown him in a poor light, but undermines the quality of US democracy and the election system that had been envisioned by the founding fathers as a model for the world to follow.
Trump’s shooting-from-the-hip-disposition renders him unfit for holding the office of the US president who not only commands the most powerful military in the world but takes decisions which geopolitically and geostrategically affect many regions.
The real estate tycoon has left a trail of controversies behind him. The person who occupies the White House needs to have sagacity, poise and grace. He should not be seen to be power-hungry. Such has been the potential of Trump’s controversies that the White House has started to welcome press queries on the maverick figure’s wayward ways.
The Trump bubble is likely to burst soon. The larger the bubble the messier the aftermath. Trump knows it best— he may have been used to real estate bubbles.
