8:29Now PlayingTrump is a Paper Tiger: Everything About Him is an illusion
Trump's carefully constructed illusion is crumbling in real time. Hawk examines how the master dealmaker persona from Art of the Deal and The Apprentice was always pure fantasy. The reality television image convinced millions of Americans that Trump was a business genius, but those who worked closest to him confirm he was actually a terrible dealmaker who repeatedly drove businesses into bankruptcy. Now surrounded by sycophants claiming he has 64% approval ratings when he's actually in the mid-30s, Trump inhabits a delusional self-constructed fantasy world.
His belief in complete control led to the disastrous Venezuela military operation and threatens similar actions against Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. The great irony is that while Trump believes he's in total control, it remains unclear who actually controls the United States. The illusion is finally fading as time catches up with him. His physical decline is visible, cognitive decline accelerates daily, and mental decline becomes impossible to hide. Trump can barely walk, likely cannot play golf anymore, and sundowns every day while controlling nuclear weapons.
Unlike Biden who was eventually hidden by his staff, Trump's malignant narcissism and desperate need for constant attention means he will force America to watch his exponential decline unfold in real time. The man who never exercised and lived on Big Macs and Diet Coke cannot escape the consequences of decades of neglect.
