Today’s New York is full of pricks, spears, ice pyramids, and the chimneys of crematoria, poking their geometrical penises arrogantly skyward, in defiance of God and challenging him to bloody get on with Armageddon once and for all. In fact, that’s probably the whole idea. And every day, new ones. Each uglier and more challenging than the last.

The building boom has made a city once full of pride and power into a megalopolis of arrogance and aggression, defiance and pure tastelessness. A place where money drips with cocaine and arsenic and bemused tourists stare up into the towers and chimneys of Trumpocracy with disbelief and repulsion.

It really feels as if the new New York has been taken over by an alien and deeply evil force, one which is gradually infiltrating every aspect of the life of this city and will eventually turn everything  into a parody of every evil dystopia ever written.  And sitting at the hub of the whole place, on Fifth Avenue, is where the whole plot has been hatched and is being run – Trump Tower.

That’s the side entrance used by Toad himself and his brood. The front entrance is very public. All KINDS of untermenschen like you and me are allowed in. To shop and spend!

Floor to ceiling gold. And shops. And Starbucks too. (Shame on you.)

Look what I bought!

I had to have proof I’ve entered the golden asshole of the Beast.

Just outside ANOTHER Trump tower (this one at Columbus Circle) (yes there are quite a few Trumpmonster edifices in New York.) we see the goal. The world is not big enough for the Trumping ambition. Cuz tells me the Trump himself organised to have this world-sculpture placed beside his apartment block. To remind him of the conquests that remain..

Incredibly, in a chic shopping centre within a few yards of the entrance to this Columbus Circle Trump Tower, a bronze statue of the man himself!

So here we go. This mega-powerful group of billionaires, infected by the virus of Christian evangelist fundamentalism and a belief in the literal truth of the Book of Revelations, rush us toward what they would describe as the End of Days.  They seriously believe that there will be a Second Coming of Christ, they will all be taken up to Heaven and the rest of us will be consigned to Hell. That’s liberals, humanists, Muslims, you, me  et al. The Jews, they are convinced, will all convert at the last minute. In the process, the Trumpists intend to enrich themselves beyond the dreams of avarice and to cynically use the gullibility of a population too willing to believe in the fulfilment of dreams.
