Election 2016: Trump's Alter Ego. An Election Song For America...Pale the Moon and Dark the night, Coyote howls and laughs in delight, life so full, of sheep so many, so fat, so easy


"A Player at Play". Or, "Trump Over-cums all". Yup.

Donald Trump. (OP, 'Original Player', 'Orange Pimpin', 'BC' - big Con, etc., take your pick.) Donald Trump is America's 'Trickster', a 'Master Manipulator'. A more impolite term (but appropriate), and especially if one is deeply appalled by his lack of moral compass(as is the case with most of us where Trump is concerned), is to say he is straight out 'Pimpin Don'. Take your pick. (This blogger prefers in private to use 'OP' - 'Orange Pimpin')

'OP'. 'OP' is always hard...and ready for the next score...or grope. (RIP, 'Easy'). But, what is real and what is hype? 'Why, that's the 'con', Chickies!'

But Trump has loyalties, if not scruples. He knows where buttered bread lays - why, right here in America. Trump even has a song he sings to America before, during and after each Pimpin' play:
'Pale the Moon and Dark the Night, Coyote Howls and Laughs with Delight, Life is Breezy, So Many Sheep, So Fat, So Easy' - 'OP's' song for America.
There is much for OP to sing about, this 2016 election is special, much tasty lambs to trick, much fame-hungry girls to grope.

Where are the American satirists to give meaning in razor edged words to this 2016 election feast?

There was Mencken , or Paul Krassner ...but ,imho, the better eye on the 2016 political circus would be Hunter Thompson (RIP, Hunter, wish you were still around...things have slimed beyond bizarre...and there's no one left on this orb who's been closer to living Hell than you...Please, beg 'mercy' for us still here.)

But...what's going on, America, in 2016?

Well,...'Election 2016', is like the farcical performance'Act' in the American tragi-comedy..and this Act belongs to 'Trickster'. Yes, OP is the clever Buffoon, the Falstaff, the Pantagruel, the Sancho Panza. But he, the Master of Trickery is also at the same time their polar doppelganger, their Henry V, their Gargantua, their Don Quixote. This is the ultimate Trump trick. Because, underneath that synth-chem dye job is the grinning, glassy eyed Zombie, the soul-less ánti’įhnii. Believe. America, be woke and learn.

'OP' will lose the election but he will 'make big bank'...do not doubt that.

Every culture throughout human history has recognized the 'Trickster' element in us. (And has usually links this 'quality' with an animal behavior - usually the Fox. (See Note #1, below.)

But...what's going on in 2016, America? Bleak days and dark nights. Confusion, anger. Blame and blaming abound, but no time to look close. Hands are wrung and spirits flagg. Ma'il, the Navaho trickster coyote, lopes over far hills. Loki the Norse trickster smirks. Irish Leprechauns giggle and hide their little pointy teeth. Hawaiian Menehune...well, they bark in disbelief how easy the sheep fall.

Look closely. Do you SEE Trump's 'shadow' in what's happening now? Many peoples in many times and places have seen and named what is Trump.

A fitting time for Trump, The Orange Flash,'Original Player' ('Orangish Pimpin') to go out to prey... constantly changing costumes from one to another of the Trickster's many forms. As the Navaho 'Ma'il', he sniffs and laughs. As the Norseman's Loki, his nose twitches in the blood on the wind. Trickster presents in all of his forms and masks.

Coyote shivers with happy anticipation. Salivates. His purse snapping open, hungry for gain.
No matter the bleakest day and darkest night, Coyote howls and laughs with delight. Adjusts the night's mask. So much a Player's heart to warm, to fatten the purse with the thin coin of others, so many sheep, so easy.
Life is Good for Orangish Pimpin'. Game is on. The 80s are forgotten and left to the past...so much P..ssy to grope. (They'll get over those awkward tapes, especially with the sacrificial lamb slaughtered and consumed, 'Thank you, Billy'.)

Hear! If, you haven't yet figured it out, Trump is a true Jungian Archetype. America's 'Treasure' from tiny feet and hands to flaming crop. (Maybe more, the Leprechaun, but that's a matter of opinion.)

He's America's 'Trickster" from the deepest dark corners of the human psyche. He's the midnight rider wearing many masks and riding his choice from many of his 'Caballos' (his Vodou horses).

Believe and be 'woke', this 'Trump' is dark s...t ('Stuff', not), and what is seen is not real. And what is revealed is not all. He's good. What 'Orisha' is presenting through Trump depends on what gain is possible and what 'Trick' is in play.

Some of Trickter's other masks are:
Huli jing (Fox spirit) and Nezha and Red Boy (China), Sun Wukong (Monkey King)Raven (British Columbia Cheyenne), Huehuecoyotl (Aztec), Menehune & Kapua (Hawaiian), San Martin Txiki (Basque), Iktomi (Lakota)...

And there is the terrifying, bloody-mouthed 'Papa' Legba (Baron Samedi)' (Haiti Vodou and Santera).

America knows these names, tho' we have learned to keep them from our conscious thoughts...such is the power of assimilation. But they are names logged into the collective memories of the great American cultural melting pot.

Learn these names, America, they belong to our collective heritages, the heritages we;ve been taught to forget...to our loss. Learn them again, they will help us to understand who or what is mugging us in the future, maybe as soon as tomorrow.

To us, in the 21st Century, Trump is the 'Original Player'. He is the 'trick bag' and takes nothing seriously, flouting society's norms, and laughing at our inconsequential complaining with his posturing and fakery.

America, since campaigning started, haven't you seen enough of Trump's moves to recognize the Con? What is it that you can't see? Can't believe? Can it be possible that what's troubling is 'the nature of Trump's game'? Is that 'What's troubling us? "Baaa".
And on these dark nights in America, Coyote lopes on and over the hills. Howling, Laughing with anticipatory delight, Life so breezy, So many sheep, So easy.

Election 2016: Did Trump Really Put "Nasty Woman" Out There? The Donald be Gaming? For Sure. (Or, The Advent of Hip-Hop Politics). Plus, 'Watch out for Them Chickens, GOP'ers, - After Defunding and Watering Down National Education, They Do Come Home to Roost'


Did the Donald really put "Nasty Woman" on Hillary? Yup he did!. At Debate 3 of election 2016 (held in 'Vegas', no less), Donald Trump (aka DT ('The Donald'), aka OP ('Orange Pimpin'), aka 'Scratch' aka 'The Vegas Flash') described Hillary Clinton as a 'Nasty Woman'.

And Donald Trump's future after-election rape, er' 'reaping', of mega-profits from his Presidential 'run' will surely happen, especially helped along with that 'Nasty' thing. And American media-culture will cooperate fully (and get it's share of profits, of course).

Thema:
With "Nasty Woman", DT has 'done did it'. He has introduced into American politics a new meme ("Nasty") and inaugurated (his only inauguration) a new American politico-cultura era - an era where heretofore serious American Presidential politics is now melded with pop culture (R&B, Disco-Hip-Hop and soul)...and made American politics easily accessible to and 'Grokked' (also made vulnerable?) by the watered down (dumbed down?) American intellect.

Listen closely and learn, GOP'ers, 'watch out for them chickens - after defunding and generally ignoring national education, they do come home to roost'.

"Nasty Woman". What? Mercy! Heavens! What did he say? Wha' he say? 'He say What?' That boy crazzah! Ole Scratch done did it again!!

My,my! But is what's bothering 'us' (the Media and some viewers and readers) the nature of Trumps game?

Really, OP is just a left-over, over-tinted, disco prince from the 80s. So "Nasty Woman" (ref. Janet Jackson's hit single, 'Nasty' on her 1986 hit album, 'Control') has been imbedded in his skull just waiting to slide on out at an appropriate moment. Of course, to give 'props' to Prince and 'Vanity 6' (1982),Nasty Girl' should also be referenced. (Unlike now, OP was a 'biiiig' player in the 80s when he was friends with all the Players (Bros, too) in lower and upper Manhattan!) Now, of course, his playing is done at his WPB digs...at least in public.

But 'retorno a thema'. Predictably, that Debate-3 'Trump moment'(as, master gamer that he is, he no doubt intended) has caused much turmoil in America. And for OP the turmoil he causes means 'bank' - the Media is in frenzy and there is an outcry from the women's movement. (And Janet Jackson is salivating over the coming sales from the resurrection of 'Nasty". 'OP' sees much coin coming down the slot.

Most ironically, 'Nasty', combined with Janet's album, 'Control', must have been a double-coded message to OP's 'Yuge' following of womens:
'What' say you DT haters? Word, nay - OP is talking to his women, who are all women who deserve respect,
'I, DT, the 'OP' am speaking in code to you womens,...what your ears hear as dissing this lovely lady facing me is really 'props' to all fem-hood, 'Word' again! (And let's make 'Monay', my dears.)

So, let's not jump hasty. Give 'OP' some slack for again out thinking the herd. ...and keeping his eye on what is real in all of this...that 'Monay'! The OP does not never let go of focus, learn that. Especially for just a 450,000 (USD) Washington, DC gig...when there is much more to the game for a smart Player. And OP is that.

With 'Nasty', DT spoke from the heights of his genius (or in ADHD condition on all cylinders ... or whatever health or substance issue has made for his sniffles).

In that exalted state, 'OP' spoke both to the squares, and in code for all the Players, when he laid 'Nasty Woman' on Hillary. Creds, 'OP'! OP was not speaking to Hillary Clinton but to send the message to his posse to watch and learn.

Note well, Players and grasshoppers, debutantes, Marco Rubio and other GOP 'masks', this blogger used 'DT' then 'OP'. (Who knows what or who speaks from those heights, but put it together.)

Now, no major-demographic male uses 'Nasty Woman' and carries it off except for Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson - both of whom have earned much 'cred' for living real all their lives - and having too much sense to run for President, despite they have no fears of anything life can throw at them,. (RIP and respect, Johnny.)

But DT is allowed space on using this word because he has shown much courage to actually run for President while he was unprepared, no experience in public office and generally speaking, unqualified.

But DT has done himself proper by chasing away the GOP 99% establishment, highjacking the party, laying out almost no 'Monay' and generally having a most good time doing all these things - in other words, righteously 'representing' all players and down-with-it'nasty women' (all 'nasty women' think on that). For these accomplishments, DT has to be recognized as a genuine 'Player'. ('Props' to you, DT. i.e., BOP aka Big Orange Pimpin')')

Now BOP is a bit grey in the temples to 'Ball' with the bros, but with 'Nasty' he let us know he's still got 'game'!

As for "Nasty".

With'Nasty', DT was shaking a flag to all his fellow 'Players':
"Hey, no biggy, Wiggy, here's word to let ya' know your boy is in tha' house..and rocking out...these clowns (with a JB rhythm riff). After this small time farce, let's go for a 'yac attack' and do some real partying. What say we shake it down away from this small time money, while we think on making this politics thing into some real 'Monay'. ('I got a lead on some big bank about starting a media company after the November day")

With "Nasty", DT has opened the gate to let in a new meme and introduced a new American politico-cultura era - an era where heretofore serious American playtime, Presidential politics, is melded with pop culture and made accessible (also vulnerable?) to the watered down (dumbed down?) American intellect. GOP chickens, defunding national education, come home to roost.

But back to BOP's game. BOP got much media coverage without spending hardly anything. Plus, he guaranteed he won't be elected - all of this is part of BOP's 'Master Plan' to maximize the after-election profits from his Play in 'The President Game'.

BOP's after-election rape, er' reaping', of mega-profits from his Presidential 'run' will happen, American media-culture will make sure of it.
