A Personal Perspective: Like the Greek god Dionysus, Donald Trump draws strength from efforts to eliminate him.
His rule-breaking, emotional appeals and ability to connect with the discontented resonate with many voters.I have been pondering the Donald Trump phenomenon. A man who has declared bankruptcy multiple times and whose inheritance has underperformed index funds, many regard him as a business genius. Under indictment onpartners, he is embraced by many evangelical Christians.
Derived from Greek mythology, Apollo and Dionysus were gods who represented contrasting aspects of the human psyche. As developed in Friedrich Nietzsche’s, Apollo is the god of the sun, who stands for reason, order, and logic. Of course, the NASA Apollo program landed a man on the moon and brought him back safely to Earth., irrationality, and even chaos. In Greek culture, his symbol was the satyr, a bestial figure often depicted as a drunken dancer with an erect phallus.
To glimpse the essence of Trump, it is helpful to revisit the first 2020 presidential debate, in which he repeatedly interrupted and assailed his opponent. Said one Democratic congressman at its conclusion, “He is outrageous. It is like debating a drunk gorilla that is just going crazy.” In a political environment of contentment, a Dionysian figure does not stand a chance. But when many feel that the nation is moving in the wrong direction and the federal government and other august institutions fail to right its course, a disrupter has real traction.
