The Iranian leader recently suggested that Trump is the reality of America. He strips off the mask.
It's not polite. But is it right?
Trump's vanity is broadly known. But isn't it a bit like the US' need to tell itself constantly it is "the greatest nation on earth"?
Trump seems to think his powers are king-like. Isn't that a bit like the way America sometimes expresses itself on the world stage?
He's a bit like an America, writ large, with all restraint removed. Maybe this is why he is appealing to many Americans. He is the embodiment of what many people think of as America. America!!!!
