The American Shadow

To view Donald Trump’s capture of the American presidency in 2016, and his resurgent dominance in 2024, as a mere accident of history is to indulge in a comforting but dangerous delusion.

Trump is not an invader who breached the walls of the republic from without; he is the inevitable result of the republic’s own unresolved tensions. He is the American 'Shadow' made flesh—embodying the raw, unfiltered appetites that the nation has long practiced but politely denied. To look at him is not to look at an aberration. It is to look into a mirror that reflects the predatory nature of a civilization that has begun to devour itself.
