A nation's character can sometimes be reflected in the leaders it elects. Usually, the electorate concentrates on the politics of the candidate, but there are those times when the persona of the office seeker lifts the candidate as much or more as his stands on the issues.
Enter Donald Trump. There are few with such a strong personality.
Part of what he is, is a person who lashes back at anyone who questions him. He responds to opposition with hatred. He matches criticism with belittlement. He berates any who dare speak against him. He serves up personal attacks for those with challenging questions.
Donald Trump, the viper of American politics. If America values zingers, here is the king of them. If America's people value zingers more than being respectful of each other, here is their king.
His contentious. spiteful personality is not seen as a fault, but is embraced by many, maybe even by enough that he shall be elected the next president of our country. If we are a nation that loves to hate, we have found our leader.
