Trump is an archetypical mediocre man but with unique and terrifying collection of qualities: shamelessness and dishonesty, extraordinary and arrogant ignorance, total lack of honor, pomposity and burning urge of showmanship. Trump is a sick man who suffers from deep-rooted psychological problem - torment of insecurity.
Trump is a joke, farce and fraud. Trumpism is not. Trumpism is a child of the union of the modern American conservatism and eternal "vulgarity of the human heart".
"Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality" (Edmund Burke). The basic and crucial moral law of the free liberal democracies is the Dignity of Human beings. The USA has a long and tragic history of struggles to establish Human Dignity as its fundamental principle. This struggle is far from over and experiences of the last decades are marked by distressing defeats.
