After the shocking news that Ted Cruz has dropped out of the presidential race, people are already set for Donald Trump to become the Republican Party’s nominee. Though John Kasich is still making a claim to compete, critics are saying it might be too late for the Republican hopeful.
Ted Cruz had waged a head-to-head battle with “The Trump,” only to find out that this is not really a political battle, but a battle of wits for audience viewership.
The Republican competition could not have been too stretched out when these two came at the top. You have Ted Cruz, who is the extreme traditionalist, and you have Donald Trump, the boss of the show where everyone is just his “apprentice.”
The Wall.
This was Donald Trump’s defining moment during his campaign. When he started out, critics never even thought of him taking the No. 2 spot in the Republican race. The Huffington Post even noted that starting in July of 2015, the site will no longer publish any news stories about Trump in the politics section. Instead, the stories would be featured in the entertainment section.
Arianna Huffington even noted that by December, Trump’s campaign has gotten worse .
“Since then Trump’s campaign has certainly lived up to that billing. But as today’s vicious pronouncement makes abundantly clear, it’s also morphed into something else: an ugly and dangerous force in American politics. So we will no longer be covering his campaign in Entertainment. But that’s not to say we’ll be treating it as if it were a normal campaign.”
If Huffington and other Pulitzer award-winning journalists can acknowledge Donald Trump’s danger to the United States of America, how did it go so far that he had probably won the Republican race?
The Human Flaw
When Donald Trump continued to gallivant his disgust about Mexicans and his claims on extreme Muslim exclusion, psychologists already determined that he had a problem.
Donald Trump had a “textbook narcissistic personality disorder,” according to Howard Gardner , a professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education. The professor even said that Trump was such a rare case to capture that he was videotaping his interviews to use for workshop demonstration.
Although Trump supporters neglected these claims, Gardner was not alone. Other renowned psychologists weighed in as well and confirmed Gardner’s claims.
While Dr. Robert Klitzman did not approve of the psychiatrists’ statements because he said that they are not allowed to make any diagnosis without meeting the patient, Vanity Fair added that Donald Trump is quite an easy read. Anyone can make an assumption by just watching him on TV.
“He’s very easy to diagnose,” said psychotherapist Charlotte Prozan. “In the first debate, he talked over people and was domineering. He’ll do anything to demean others, like tell Carly Fiorina he doesn’t like her looks. ‘You’re fired!’ would certainly come under lack of empathy. And he wants to deport immigrants, but [two of] his wives have been immigrants.”
These are logical, researched observations by people who are the best in their field. If they were the experts, why did people ignore these claims? How come nobody believed that Donald Trump could be detrimental to the U.S.?
It’s because of that flaw—our sense of entitlement.
Any organization, nation, or group is only as strong as its leader. With Trump at the top, this made the vast majority of Americans think that they also have exclusive rights to liberty. Nobody else can claim the third amendment unless they are full-blooded American. Immigrants are no longer part of our culture, and they should be thrown back to where they came from.

Yes. There are extreme cases of immigrants conducting crimes, but there are also immigrants who have become world-class doctors, lawyers, and Harvard graduates.
Donald Trump’s wall signifies this big sense of entitlement that only us, Americans, are capable of attaining freedom.
Donald Trump as president highlights that human flaw that tells us, “Whatever it is that you think you want to do in our land of dreams, it’s not going to happen because of one simple fact: You are not pure American.”
This methodology takes America back to that era of enslavement, where white people think they were the only ones capable of living up to their dreams. After years of fighting for equality, women’s rights and gay rights, should America get caught into this narcissistic whirlwind just because it makes us feel we’re the best?
