Trump and his ilk have turned life into a reality TV show that is incompatible with the dull workings of good democratic government.

When you think about it, Roman emperors understood that all the people really wanted was bread and circus, the same as what Trump offers our moderen day reality TV viewers looking for cheap thrills.

Indeed, ask the typical Trump supporter what is their favorite type of TV show and it is likely to be blood sports like boxing, pro wrestling or some sort of juvenile reality show.
