Truman Show in which we ve all been living for close to half a decade, the one where the star and the producer and the director are all the same person, the one where that guy is having the time of his life even if he s complaining constantly and it s the rest of us who are trapped. Donald Trump has attempted to drag not just the political affairs of the United States but American life itself into the permanent, looping present of his televised existence, where he can shape the contours of the dome and call forth wind and storms and lightning strikes with his deranged and impulsive behavior while we all try to avoid going overboard. The news media, of course, loves a hurricane.
