The man who helped create the Donald Trump myth for reality TV is asking Americans for forgiveness “for helping to create a monster.”
The countdown is on: on November 5, Americans will go to the polls to choose their president for the next four years. Where does this impression come from that this election will have decisive consequences for world peace?
Usually, public opinion, across all latitudes, experiences every presidential election USA as if it were decisive for the fate of the world. And indeed it is, since the tenant of the White House, due to his country’s importance on the international diplomatic stage and in the world economy, is considered to be the leader of the free world. With the turbulent current events we are experiencing and all these tensions weakening the regional balances, the personality of the next President of the United States can either bring back a little bit of calm or push the world towards a little more uncertainty. Some of the protagonists of the current tensions are not wrong, who have their preferences and would be happy to see in the Oval Office Donald Trump Or Kamala Harristo enable them to continue on the path they have chosen, or to curb the zeal of their opponents. Two personalities unlike in every way that the polls struggle to decide between. Suffice to say, the best is still possible, but so is the worst.
Aren’t we too prone to demonize Donald Trump?
His actions and his words justify the view we may have of him. For the rest, he himself does not hesitate to demonize all those who come from other places, do not think like him or have the presumption not to support him. Moreover, it is enough to skim the list of all those who supported him in the past, worked with him and gave everything for him, and who find themselves fighting him today with virulence, to understand.

Trump makes or scares his friends.
The most spectacular defections are those of brave young ladies who held prominent positions in the White House during his administration and today say they prefer their country to their party. Many who do not fight him fear his ability to cause damage but hate him. They reject his radical use of words, his definitive claims that are sometimes a thousand miles from the truth. They find him potentially dangerous to world peace and to social peace, as he has difficulty imagining human and intergovernmental relations in any other way than in terms of loyalty or hostility. For some, he took Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party hostage. This party of values has become the party of Trump, dishing out falsehoods with disturbing confidence.
Yet there is an audience that follows him, crowds of…
Yes! Beyond the United States, the danger to our world is that populist leaders succeed. Part of the public agrees or gives the impression of agreeing, including their blatant lies. Regardless of the unacceptable side of what certain political leaders say, there is always a section of public opinion that follows them and drinks from the fountain of their excesses. As if the world had said goodbye to great leaders. The deceivers, the demagogues, the populists have free rein. There are fewer and fewer people who are in politics to serve the public interest. But inappropriate actions and lewd comments never remain without consequences for people. The bill for excesses and other unnecessary wars must be paid, sooner or later. Former marketing director of the American channel NBC, John Miller, who helped create the Donald Trump myth in the reality TV program “Apprentice”, these days took up the pen to ask the Americans for forgiveness, ” for twenty years of helping to create a monster «, he said. Here is the invoice…
