Charles M. Blow has an op-ed column today titled “Disciples of a False Prophet”. Mr. Blow regularly uses his column to rehash the national election of November, 2016. To say that the outcome was not to his liking is an understatement. Donald Trump won.

Charles M. Blow just cannot find a safe space and so he is going to blame the Trump voters or “basket of deplorables” aka “irredeemables” to quote twice failed candidate and professional money grifter Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton. Charles M. Blow is alleging that Trump voters followed a false prophet and are now seeing through him. I must say “au contraire, mon frere”.

From the article:

His entire life, Trump has sold shimmer and called it silver. It was and is all an illusion, a brand built on selling banality with braggadocio. He shaped vapors into dreams and delivered them to those hungry for a taste of the showy, hollow form of the high life he came to represent. He was successful at exploiting those with an ostentatious appetite for the air of success. Trump’s life story is a pyramid scheme of ambitions.

First, I must admire the way Mr. Blow puts words together. Blow can paint an awesome word picture. Even if it ain’t true.

Second, this is not an illusion-

I have been there and walked through it. Across the street is store Henri Bendel and to the left, as you face Trump Tower, is Central Park. Ask any NYC cabbie and the cabbie will drive you there. Trump Tower is not his only building. It is his signature building.
