Well it's become classically Shakespearean. Trump is clearly paranoid and unable to trust anyone.

What a tragic and wretched condition. I wouldn't wish such a terrible thing on any human being. But I'm not sorry for him. His wounds are wholly self-inflicted.

What a story. Epic tragedy.

2. I disagree. "Tragedy" implies a fall from something impressive and noble...

...like Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, Lear. What was ever noble about Trump? Even Timon of Athens had more depth to him. Even Malvolio was more sympathetic. God help me, Nixon did have a touch of Shakespeare, because--I can say this now--he was a man of first-rate ability for all his demons. Trump is more like Bottom or Caliban. A malign clown...

4. I think of him more as the Head Dunce of the "Confederacy of Dunces"

And, as always, I give full credit to the late, great author, John Kennedy Toole, for that wonderfully descriptive phrase.

5. He has a bit of all the myths. Folktales

Fables.

Yet another story to add to the pantheon.
