Column: As we were warned, the villain Trump has returned. The news cycle proves it

LA Times  

Former President Donald Trump attends the closing arguments in the Trump Organization civil fraud trial at New York State Supreme Court in New York earlier this year. As if Flannery O’Connor never wrote “Good Country People” — in which a Bible salesman is revealed as a serial predator of the disabled — or Ryan O’Neal never starred in “Paper Moon” — as a con man who scams widows into paying for Bibles he claims were bought by their husbands before they died. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” Trump famously said in 2016. A man who like every dictator in fiction or history regularly chums the waters with disjointed, bloody bits of rhetoric designed to appeal to those who feel, history and fact notwithstanding, that too many “other” people — immigrants, minorities, women, liberals, college graduates, the LGBTQ community, whoever— are stealing their jobs, changing the face of their communities, raising their taxes, killing helpless babies, committing violent crimes, and making them admit that slavery is a bad thing.
