How Donald Trump Seizes the Primal Power of Naming
Among the many sources of inspiration issued by the director David Lynch He was recognized throughout his career, from transcendent meditation to Big Boy Chocolate Milkshakes, one of them was a creative exercise that included what he called “Ricky’s painting”. Twenty images or almost advanced objects are lined up in four rows of five, and each element, or “Ricky”, bears his name with his unique name. For example, lynch once displayed a picture of a variety of Ricky similar to dead flies, whose ranks included Harry, Don, Eric, and Sayed. For tangules in the 1980s, Lynch kept Proto Ricky Group From Woody Woodpecker dolls identical in his office, named Chucko, Buster, PETE, Bob, and Dan. Lynch later said about the wood cows:
Lynch, from He died earlier this monthAnd he promised to amaze Ricky makers “one of the different characters that appear depending on the names they offer.” He summarized the instructions for Board Ricky in a short poem, which is saved, “,”It is not difficult / just naming every Ricky / although it is all similar / change comes from the name“
On what was the seventy -ninth Lynch’s birthday, on January 20, Donald Trump was delivered His second opening title From Capitol Rotunda in the United States, and although we will never see Trump’s version of Ricky’s painting – twenty Mac devices, twenty boxes of Diet Cokee, and twenty pictures of Miss Universe 2013 – the president’s discourse showed his instinctive understanding of the power that can confirm and attach himself Through naming and rename works.
“We will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” announced. “We will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where he should be and where to belong.” (The Coycon’s original people in Alaska have long been known as Denali, a name that the US federal government officially recognizes in 2015. One of these orders that he signed immediately after its inauguration, which included the request of forces to the southern border, commented the acceptance of the refugees, and the end of citizenship The newborn, the expansion of oil drilling in Alaska, the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, Pardoning rioters on January 6.
The name in the top of the American revival list, of course, was the president-his empire expanded less by building things more than Trump Throughout them. The side of the publication is uncompromising its name is his diabolical gift to modify those of others: Hillary, Sleepy Joe, Low Energy Jeb, Little Marco. When other candidates struggled to clarify their brand, Trump’s barrels instead did the task.
For Trump, any name can become a tool to practice his will on our policy. Sometimes this desire is linked, as is the case when illegal immigrants connect to the “great lecture”. Sometimes, it appears to be very aesthetic, as in 2020, suggested that NATO You should expand to the Middle East with a new name, Non -NatsAnd clear Na-to-me. (“What a beautiful name,” think. This happened on Easter, and Trump rose that the same election day should be renamed: “Let’s call it the day of Christian vision,” said one of the crowd at the Wesclesen gathering.
Sometimes, Trump’s assumption serves to naming the rights of everything surrounding the conservative goal of leaving things as they are. Close to the end of his first term, Trump objected to proposals to change the names of the American military bases honoring the leaders of the Confederation, announcing on Twitter that “his administration will not even consider rename these wonderful and family military facilities.” In an interview with Fox News with Chris Wallace, Trump asked, referring to Fort Prague, “We will nominate her after the Master’s Green? (Fort Prague is now Fort Liberty.)
Ironically, Democrats suffer from their torture by connotations and censorship of the name – lead, Latin, etc. – when Trump invests deeply and frankly in such matters. In line with Trump’s executive order that cancels diversity programs, his administration ordered federal employees to abandon the Personnel Affairs Management Office if they doubt that or described the team’s job title has been quietly changed to hide Di’s commitment “or similar ideologies.” Federal health agencies temporarily stopped external communications after January 20 due to an executive order warning them of “strengthening or implanting sexual ideology” – restrictions that make a common language such as “pregnant” Vibotin. As a result, reviews of cancer search, reports on how to reduce the spread of bird flu, and other things in time to stop.
Gordon Cole, the FBI agent who has a hearing that Lynch plays in “Twin Peaks”, said once that those who do not accept converts must “reform their hearts or die.” According to this framework, the text of the “sexual ideology” executive chosen – literally denying the existence of converts. Even amid the excessive load of amazing information from the first week of Trump in the office, this is shocking. For Trump, it is also on a very brand, since Transversobia is often expressed by refusing to contact another person in their name.
To give something its name to make it real and even decide on its meaning; It is a divine and bright power, and of course an innovative power. Lynch’s artistic vision was radically unique and very difficult to express that we had to reach a new name – its name -. The “Lynchian” world is vague and worrying as it is vital and very explained, and its moods, shapes, and frequencies were leaking to the cultural subconscious for more than forty years. Certainly, humans had anger in daily life before entering the “velvety blue” and “Twin Peaks” Sharia, but Lynch prompted us to search for these currents, even to welcome them, and enjoy their beauty and terror. Like all the greatest and most influential artists, other than how we see our world, its interpretation and description – which is a engine to form the world itself.
Trump, born in the same year as Lynch, unfortunately for us, is the most influential of reality. Our world, to some extent, everything it imagines; The universe Trump is not next to us but the universe we live in. I am not sure that his opposition completely understands this. During the opening address, when Trump announced the rename of the Gulf of Mexico, Hillary Clinton, sitting in the audience behind, laughed in a clear way, shaking her shoulders. Ten years after the Trump era, the Democrats still embody us, referring to its helpless superiority of the person who is already running the place. But perhaps they can learn something from the performer who tells the jokes that land. An example of this: During the 2016 campaign, Clinton and the National Democratic Committee collected a short attempt to rename Trump, through a press release, such as Donald Donald, who managed to enhance its image as false and make it look great.
Last summer, the Democrats briefly, for one time, succeeded in defining Trump and its allies, rather than the opposite. “This is amazing strange Tim Walz, who soon became on the other side, said to become a fellow on the Kamala Harris tour, at the end of July. “They want to take books away. They want to be in your examination room.” Suddenly, and not according to any major plan assembled, Democrats stumbled on Donald dangerously-everyone was describing Republicans as “strange.” But then it seemed that the campaign was freezing, or rather, to return to the democratic community of the group that was tested in the group that was tested, which depends on the small pillar. Often, the impression that Harris gave to a person was trying to remember her lines, and you might not know what she already believed or wanted.
An inaccurate aura was distinguished by the party’s silent response to Trump The explosive return To the oval office. the Times She stated that “Democratic officials have attributed the party’s hesitation and partially confused to the lack of clarity from their voters.” In Politico, Democratic Advisors expressed aversion to “endless resistance headlines”; They talked about avoiding the “old playing book”. But the shyness in Star Strategic Power is a largely old play. Waiting for another person to discover what you are supposed to say or stand is greatly the old playing book.
Trump knows what he wants and how he calls. This was rarely very clear as it was in the first week of his second administration. He may not know why he wants what he wants, and he may have changed by tomorrow. But he knows his fans, and the confidence in which he raises his pulse, desires, and grievances in their world, they never overcome, and he is self -fulfilled. It is, in this sense, an insight artist. “I am good in the names, right?” He asked the journalists in 2020. The question answers himself: This is true because he says that. Change comes from the name. ♦
