Sam Harris really nailed it on the head with this amazing description of Trump

Quote:
"[Trump] strikes me as a distillation of everything that is wrong with the American character. This could be, in large measure, a caricature, but he has brought the caricature to life. If you take our materialism, and our ignorance about the rest of the world, and our satisfaction in that ignorance, our overconfidence, our pretension to greatness, even when we're actually being merely petty, our vanity, our sexism, boorishness, narcissism . . . a kind of childishness that doesn't have the virtues of childhood -- it's a kind of malignant childhood that is just all boastfulness and ME-ME-ME-ME-ME, without any of the curiosity or sympathy that you meet in actual children -- he is the living embodiment of a kind of American Grotesque. It's almost like he's a golem that has been conjured by the worst things that have ever been said about us as a country. If he can't grope it or put gold letters on it, it doesn't exist [to him]." -- Sam Harris
