Sometimes it seems that the media is trying to make the Trump family the new American royalty. We’re traveling the same road as with the Kennedy clan. On and on we go with the stream of books, magazine articles, interviews, tv, news items, and perhaps soon, movies galore. Or is it Donald Trump himself who is trying to make this happen? What’s the constant need to hear what the Trumps are up to? We don’t need royalty-like people in this country. Wasn’t one family enough for one lifetime? Why can’t they just fade out of the limelight they so greedily desire. Why are posters of Donald Trump’s face plastered on trains, sides of buildings, billboards, etcetera around NYC? Enough I say, enough. I say this smiling, I’m not actually hot in the collar over this, just amused. But do you not feel that it gets boring and tiring to have to look at that face everywhere you turn? And now hints that his children are followling the same route as their father. And why do we need this? The hair joke is worn out. That face always has that-posed-for-a-picture expression. What is the point? Don’t we need a break? Oh, it smacks of the stuff of the Kennedy obsession all over again. Can someone please explain the obsession to me?
Then again, perhaps what I’m really thinking is that we need to focus on our own lives, and not get caught up and obsessed with someone else’s life. The media plays a huge part in the way people view the world. To not buy into this has its own rewards.
