Patrick Bateman had business cards. Donald Trump has nuclear codes.
The man who boasts about stopping seven wars—while simultaneously rattling sabers at Iran and launching military operations in Venezuela—embodies a psychosis far more dangerous than Bret Easton Ellis ever imagined. At least Bateman’s victims were limited to Manhattan. Trump’s body count potential spans continents.
“I’m not saying Iran and Venezuela are democracies”—of course they’re not. But when the supposed “leader of the free world” wields democracy as a cudgel while governing as an authoritarian, the irony becomes almost too bleak to bear. War is NEVER the solution, except apparently when it serves as a distraction, a ratings boost, or a monument to ego.

And let’s address the elephant wearing the emperor’s new clothes: the United States itself is hardly the democratic beacon it claims to be. #Iodiocracy isn’t just a clever hashtag—it’s an autopsy report on a political system where plutocracy masquerades as populism, where the will of billionaires trumps the will of the people.
The world in the hands of a psychopath.
Not the fictional kind who monologues about Huey Lewis before committing murder. The real kind—the one who believes his own press releases, who confuses applause with competence, who mistakes destruction for decisiveness.
At least Patrick Bateman had the decency to keep his insanity confined to fiction.
