Pornography


Pornography for most of us is a matter of sex. But Joseph Campbell points out that pornography is really anything which has a single prurient aim, lacking any social or artistic merit.

That is why I think of Donald Trump as the first pornographic President. Not for his attraction to porn stars or his crotch grabbing attitudes, but for the fact that his most significant obsession is his ego driven, single-minded focus on himself, which puts all else second.

This pornography is much more destructive to the American psyche than all the porn on line.
