Donald Trump's run for president of the United States speaks more about us and the nation we envision. Are we to be a nation of enlightened egalitarian citizenry, as promulgated in the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble “in order to form a more perfect union,” or a nation of unsympathetic,  grasping, socio-regressive misanthropes? A nation imploding from within, from dissociative resentment rooted in learned bias and prejudice.

“… And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! … 

a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.” — MACBETH, ACT 5, SCENE 5
