Scarface

Is tRump a tragic figure? Was Nixon tragic? Michael Dobbs thinks so. His latest book is KING RICHARD AND WATERGATE--AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. (Dobbs has admitted he's not good at titles.)

I was young when Nixon fell, and I did not experience a catharsis. I felt joy. It was a great time to be alive and hopeful.

You get tragedy when a good man comes to a bad end. (We all come to a bad end.) 

tRump is not a good man. He is a bad man coming to a bad end. HAMLET is a tragedy. MACBETH is a melodrama, a great gangster tale like SCARFACE.  

I plan to enjoy tRump's last year.
