In Greek mythology, King Midas was known for his love of gold and being a rogue ruler whose antics bemused his people and irritated the Gods.
Wannabee King Trump is also a rogue leader but instead of bemusing American citizens, he's on a mission to terrorize them if they don't bow before him.
King Midas and Trump are famous for their love of gold. Trump has redecorated the White House with so much gold trim it looks like a 19th century brothel. One political pundit commented that the White House looks like " a gilded rococo hellscape."
All of Trump's properties have gold gilded interiors. His cult members like to say he has a golden touch.
It didn't take long before Midas realized the consequences of his ill-thought wish. His food and his loved ones turned into gold when he touched them.
The moral of the story is those who are greedy to have more will lose everything they have. And remember what really matters and be careful what you wish for.
Unlike King Midas Trump's gold gathering experiences are ongoing and he hasn't suffered the consequences that the fabled king did. Yet.
In nearly all cultures gold represents luxury and wealth. It can also symbolize greed and excess.
Christopher Columbus once said, "Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world."
With visions of his golden ballroom dancing in his tiny brain, Trump loves nothing more than to show off his gold bars and gilded Oval Office to foreign visitors.
As it Stands, it's too soon to decide what the moral is from Trump's story, but I suspect it'll involve being locked up in a padded room in a super max prison somewhere in El Salvador.
