While I agree in large part about the "shadow," I find it a complete departure from logic to call it Trumpism. The writer offers no support at all for that, just the assumption that everyone will agree because that's what they have been trained to believe. The shadow has two hands that work in tandem, left and right to squeeze the middle.
In fact, Trump is the best available option to get out from this shadow now. Not that he's a principled saint with good ideas, but because he is not a full member of the team of elites controlling the world. He's a loose cannon who reacts instinctively, and some of his instincts are good. This is better than having yet another pretty puppet who can deceive the masses with pretty words. I am glad that people don't trust Trump. Nobody should trust their government.
