Trump is the avatar of the Dark Side, the Jungian Shadow archetype, the Devil incarnate, the Father of Lies, the Beast, 666, the personification of Adharma, the polar opposite of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. When the Shadow manifests in public life, he becomes a kind of Black Hole, sucking in all who lack the moral fiber to resist his toxic charisma, forging an unholy alliance between the rich and greedy on one hand, and the embittered and gullible lumpen proletariat on the other. In this respect, he is One with Hitler, Putin, Bolsonaro, Peron, Duvalier, Stalin, and all the other monsters whose vile stench permeates history. Alas!
