A motto for our times (from the lips of the Time Traveller in H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine): “I remarked indeed a clumsy swaying of the machine, for which I was unable to account. But my mind was too confused to attend to it, so with a kind of madness growing upon me, I flung myself into futurity.”

Upon the recommendation of Luke Stamps, I’ve been listening to Dan Bettridge’s “Architecture of a Worried Mind” on repeat.
Phil Christman, providing the best, most succinct, description of Trump’s worldview that I’ve encountered:
More than anything, Trump proclaimed, and still proclaims, nearly every time he opens his mouth, through all manner of self-contradiction, a fundamental worldview premised on the idea that misfortune is personally discrediting, ugly, embarrassing, and rightly to be shunned, an economy of winners and losers I well recognize. He will contradict himself on every other point, but he never wavers from that one. This worldview is, of course, a direct contradiction of everything Christ taught by word, and even more by deed. Trump hates losers. In the incarnation, God broke metaphysics in order to become one.
