The Unexplainable Saga of Donald Trump: A Video Analysis

A recent video circulating on Imgur titled "You cannot explain Trump" has sparked widespread discussion and debate. The video delves into the perplexing journey of Donald Trump from a real estate mogul to the 45th President of the United States. The speaker in the video humorously grapples with the challenge of explaining Trump's rise to power, likening it to trying to explain an enigma that defies logic.

The video posits that Trump's journey began almost as a dare—a bet that he could win the presidency, which he astonishingly did. The speaker notes the peculiar nature of Trump's continued involvement in politics, likening it to a billionaire's version of retirement, where the stakes are constantly being raised.

The speaker also touches on the concept of Republicans not finding a more 'suitable' face to represent their party, suggesting that their focus is primarily on financial interests. The video criticizes the hypocrisy of aligning with Christian values while supporting a figure like Trump, questioning his adherence to even the most basic Ten Commandments.

The Imgur community has responded with a mix of humor, frustration, and analysis. One user humorously commented, "So there was this gorilla in a zoo....," while another offered a more philosophical take by tracing global humanitarian crises and unregulated capitalism back to the creation of the universe, noting that it has been "widely regarded as a bad move."

Others pointed out that Trump never truly wanted the presidency and that his unexpected win only fueled his ego and psychoses. A user clarified a Biblical misunderstanding, stating, "The Bible doesn’t say you shouldn’t lie. It says you shouldn’t bear false witness *against your neighbor*," implying that lying is condemned when it harms others.

Some users compared Trump's rise to historical figures, with one likening it to post-WWI Italy's rise of nationalism and authoritarianism. Another user summed it up as a surprising yet unsurprising move, stating, "It's actually really easy to explain. 'Hey, so it turns out that a *lot* of Americans are much dumber and meaner than you thought.'"

The video and its comments highlight the complexity and divisiveness of Trump's political journey, capturing a wide range of emotions from disbelief to critical analysis. This video serves as a microcosm of the broader societal struggle to make sense of a figure as polarizing as Donald Trump.

As discussions continue, many are left wondering how history books will ultimately cover this unprecedented chapter in American politics. The video and subsequent comments provide a fascinating snapshot of public opinion and the ongoing challenge of explaining Donald Trump.

"So there was this gorilla in a zoo...."

I don't think some people remember that he never wanted to do the job. He failed upward into the oval office. Guy never expected to win. And then it went to his head with all the other psychoses and... well now here we are

"So, global humanitarian crises and a massive international refugee rise has created the perfect breeding ground for nationalism worldwide and...wait... So, poorly thought out proxy wars in the Middle East and unregulated capitalism feeding the military-industrial complex...nope, let's go further back. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

So, slight correction. The Bible doesn’t say you shouldn’t lie. It says you shouldn’t bear false witness *against your neighbor*. Lying is fine. Lying in order to accuse or hurt people around you is not. Like, for example, spreading rumors about people eating pets…

I feel like the easiest explanation is "people wanted a new Reagan but even worse".

Easy enough to explain: "Remember how in post-WWI Italy there was a guy who was angry his country didn't win enough in the war and instead of going to therapy, he created a new ideology out of nationalism, authoritarianism, and colonialism? It's like that, only in contemporary America."
