"One day [Trump] might walk to Marine One stark naked and we’ll all just say: 'This is the end. It has finally happened.'"
That quote from "Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio" ends Maureen Dowd's new column, "The Naked Truth About Trump."Why all this talk about Trump naked? I'm not seeing the old Bob Dylan quote — "But even the president of the United States/Sometimes must have to stand naked" — so what is it?
Trump is an attention addict, and now he’s in a position to get all the attention in the world, as long as he keeps those sirens blaring.Mm. Yeah. So... are you going to say that Trump is so desperate for attention that if all else failed, he'd get naked?
I will keep reading, so you don't have to. Hang on.
CNN has been on a constant Breaking News Alert for months. And we are Trump addicts, hooked on the hyperventilating rush of wild stories and all the great things that accrue from playing Beowulf to Trump’s Grendel.Well, that's kind of a word salad, and I don't know if that's Pulitzer quality, but you know Maureen Dowd did win a Pulitzer Prize. It was back in 1999: "For her fresh and insightful columns on the impact of President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky."
As we pat ourselves on the back, though, for the grueling hours and Pulitzer-quality scoops, we should remember one thing: Even if we vanished tomorrow, Trump would probably end up in the same place.
You could put a nanny cam on the guy and leave the room, and he would crash out of his high chair. He incriminates himself faster than we can incriminate him. And he surrounds himself, in the Trumpland of Misfit Toys, with playmates who have that same perverse gift for self-incrimination and immolation....
Back to the "Naked Truth About Trump" column. I'm still waiting to see the justification for talking about Naked Trump:
“He needs the excitement,” says Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio. “Without the drama and the crisis and the powerful opponent, he’d be just another guy.”Okay. That makes sense. What follows, the end of the column, is D’Antonio's comparison of Trump Jimmy Piersall, a baseball player who had a mental breakdown and later wrote: "Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. It brought people out to the ballpark to get a look at me.”
D'Antonio continues, and this is the last paragraph of the column;"
“That may wind up happening with Trump,” D’Antonio says. “One day he might walk to Marine One stark naked and we’ll all just say: ‘This is the end. It has finally happened.’”"That may wind up happening with Trump" — in other words, Trump might have a mental breakdown. The nakedness is just D'Antonio's idea of what a person having a mental breakdown might do. I don't like to see this kind of disrespect for people with mental illness. I think stripping off your clothes and walking in public is something that a person having a mental breakdown might do. In fact, I once saw that happen to a person (from my apartment window in NYC in the 1970s).
Trump's problems and quirks are not about the troubles of the truly mentally ill. The Jimmy Piersall business is just a pointless detour, and the word "naked" in the column title is the kind of desperate plea for attention that the column seems to want to deplore.
Thus articles "One day [Trump] might walk to Marine One stark naked and we’ll all just say: 'This is the end. It has finally happened.'"
that is all articles "One day [Trump] might walk to Marine One stark naked and we’ll all just say: 'This is the end. It has finally happened.'" This time, hopefully can provide benefits to all of you. Okay, see you in another article posting.
