all politics is self interest. Trump while clearly narcissistic and possibly above the law represents my self-interests as an older white male taking care of a family on one salary. And yes I am jealous of the generation who came before me who were able to live a better life than me. They were not punished for their privilege which they never realized they had. Perhaps American distance runners in the late 60s who did not have to deal with the runners from East Africa taking up the scholarships and scooping up the prize money may be seen in the same light by todays runners. It is in this light that I long for the good old days recognizing full well that for many segments of society they are not remembered as fondly.
