It begins innocently, laughing along with him as he mocks John McCain, a natural enough pastime but one that, like any good thing, becomes a bad one if indulged to excess. It's the same thing with those who enjoy Trump's endless televisual antics. Literature suggests that the man who starts off Googling "ample bosom" eventually moves on to foot fetishism and then to Japanese schoolgirls engaged in illicit congress with elderly men dressed as various minor characters from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
But all this is a put-on, a painfully necessary antecedent to the titillating action craved by his most enthusiastic followers, most of whom are white men of middle age and older: the cable news equivalent of the nudie scenes.Īs with pornography, the experience for Trump fanboys can be addictive. He goes through the motions of being the commander in chief, making vague references to "deals," having poorly stage-managed "meetings" with people whose costumes indicate that they could be actual members of Congress, having his picture taken with this or that supposed foreign leader. Trump is president in the same sense that Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights is a secret agent. So, too, in Trump's mind, is the White House. So is Mar-a-Lago, where overweight boomer tycoons pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to engage in a Ron Jeremy parody of leisure. Trump Tower, with its faux marble and imitation gilt and lifeless plastic palms, is a porno location. The tawdry aesthetic of pornography is what lies behind his orange skin, his bleached blond hair, his protruding stomach, even his tiny white tennis shorts. It's that his mind, personality, and appearance are fundamentally pornographic.
It's not only the case that he is our first president credibly accused of having had affairs with multiple porn stars.
