King Midas Trump

I wonder how Donald Trump thought and felt about his King Midas political narrative at the time of his electoral college victory. Well, actually I don't need to wonder. He mentioned, once or twice, how thrilled he was with well-marketed turnout at his self-celebratory inauguration. Still, I wonder how these thoughts and feelings might compare with King Midas despair thoughts and golden touch feelings after impeachment of his intentional neglect for multiculturally inclusive healthy wealth of resilient GoldenRule communication connected with and through co-attached interdependent values of a cooperatively vulnerable democracy built on robust and resilient trust. For any narcissist, this is a curiously compassionate dispassionate question, but for a nationalistically successful executive of win/lose competitions precluding sight and sound and smell of win/win green healthy cooperative organic structures and empowerment platforms for healthier climate multicultures, even the GoldenRule is trumped by GoldenTouch of toxic wealth prejudicially measured as robust regardless of absent compassionate health Made more resiliently resonant through integrity of Left minded with Right hearted golden integrity, equitable ratios and interdependently blended elixirs ego-RightWing ebbing with eco-LeftWing flowing. Seems to me I remember someone saying something about not storing up golden treasures in trump towers where moths and bedbugs and rust can so easily spread moldy moral bankruptcy, spiritless nature-less soul-less nihilistic climate pathology denialistic.
