Lovely article and very close in sentiment to a few I have written both on politics and business. What astounds me is that people vote for these so called leaders,. Thus I guess there is truth in the saying, people get leaders they deserve not the ones they should have.

It is also interesting to look at the demographic that votes for these border line (or maybe not so border line) narcissistic psychopaths. They tend to be poorly educated, poorly read and poorly travelled. Not always, because those things do not guarantee a brain, but in general. Qualified democracy is a very dangerous game to play, but there is real reasons why it may be needed. Of course in the longer term we should as a broader society focus on peoples education levels and ensure they are exposed to multiple views. This just make the lies and half truths people like Trumpeter use less likely to find support. If people can think for themselves, maybe trumpeter will just end up being the noise he is.
