Trump as Theater of the Absurd

In the last few weeks, Trump has become crazier and crazier, a pathetic out-of-control creature, seemingly controlled by galatic forces conspiring to up-end his entitled right to the Oval Office. I cannot help but sometimes see his rants and antics as some sort of Theater of the Absurd, written by Alfred Jarry, Albert Camus, Nikolai Gogol, or Samuel Becket. Every day we get more of the same from him. We are now way way past Trump lies. We are now in the throws of psychotic delusion. I am no longer surprised by anything that Donald Trump says or does. I just expect him to be absurd, to be Ubu Roi.
