In the US, everything is a performance. Every development is heavily imbued with elements from the Hollywood film industry and its philosophy. The scene must be overwhelming, and the directors are the real heroes, not the actors, who are merely tools directors use however they want. That is why the end credits always carry the director’s signature.
In Las Vegas, the wealthy are invited to throw away their fortunes gambling in the casinos. To draw these victims in and lead the sheep to the slaughterhouse, extremely elaborate and expensive artistic performances are held in Las Vegas. The biggest Hollywood stars always take part.
Nonetheless, Donald Trump’s trial in New York is the most exciting and gripping performance in history. The camera filmed his blue plane as soon as it entered New York airspace. The massive plane. The large runway by the water. A tense landing. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, the brakes start taming this mighty flying object. Thank God you’re safe, Mr. President.
Once the plane lands, one man after the other steps off. Aides, bodyguards, and who knows who else. From there, the cameras on the ground follow the plane’s owner to his tower in Columbus Square. Millions of people around the world are watching for free. Cut!
The next day’s papers... The most famous man in America arrives in court and is asked to state his name, age, profession, and place of birth. For the first time in his life, this man is calm, silent and gloomy rather than brash, impulsive, and fussy. The director told him that this was the best way to garner the people’s sympathy. Calm down, Mr. President; straighten your hair and avoid moving your hands. Do not give any smile of any kind. “Cut” and scene.
The first public prosecutor to charge a former president appears. He is a dark-skinned young man. Oh, what a pleasant twist to the story this is. A “colored” man is prosecuting a white former president, making accusations that threaten to undermine his reputation and could leave him behind bars.
Watching this immense performance, America is flabbergasted. It does not know who to cheer for, the rule of law or breaking it. The president’s prosecution or his humiliation. Does the show paint Trump as a victim who will win the upcoming elections or a popular hero and a loser according to the constitution?
From his experience working in television, Trump knows that everything is “drama,” especially in court. The most important thing to do is convince the jury that decides the verdict. Do you remember the OJ Simpson trial and how it left more Americans glued to their TVs than any other series?
Hollywood is already gearing up for a blockbuster about the man who descended onto the White House from the city’s tallest tower. He also rendered the law an extension of his reality TV program.
Between every scene, we hear a vulgar story for which viewer discretion is advised.
