When Samson's Soul Became Donald Trump

Delilah, the beautiful Philistine lives as Samson's wife. Her people are nontheless being stalked and killed by Samson as he defends his. The conflict between marital partners who must share a bed and live with their own people who are in conflict has passed down through the centuries into such epics as Caesar and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, and the Hatfields and McCoy's.

The characters are immensely attractive to writers who can work into them scene after scene of tortured conscience mixed with stimulated libedo.

And we have not only conscience, a purely human conception, of course, we also have physical attributes that further define the character. In Samson, we have the living glory of hair. Every hair on our heads is counted, Jesus teaches us, and before Jesus became man, a relative named Samson was warned about the source of his enormous strength. Yet, he failed to protect himself through trust in his beautiful Philistine wife. Like Hitler, many centuries later, he did not take proper precautions in spite of his knowledge and his awareness of the source of his enormous charisma and strength.

Delilah, the female predecessor of Judas, intoxicates Samson and discovers his secret. His love partner, cuts his hair and the story goes, his discovery of her treachery led him to allow himself to be humbled until a sense of his true value as a source of the God spirit, allowed him to bring down the temple of the Philistines. Can anyone reading this not see a parallel in our own time to Donald Trump?

Donald Trump was beset by enormous political and socio-engineering people to break with his own people and his own values and to embrace or to feign to embrace another hostile people's beliefs and to work and to undermine his own people for those or to risk losing his entire empire. I only guess here because I remember a disheveled Donald Trump, looking as if he had fallen down the rabbit hole and he didn't remember even stepping on one.

Donald's insistence on his hair being full blown and carefully cut, is so much like Samson. Perhaps, Donald also was told about the source of his strength and his charisma.

I, obviously, know that he is a very powerful and influential American. And, the preceding exposition is only my personal evaluation of the Donald Trump of some years ago. His recovery has been impressive.
