Yesterday's Men pout and rage against the dying of the spotlight

THERE are few more pitiful sights than powerful men wallowing in their own victimhood.

THERE are few more pitiful sights than powerful men wallowing in their own victimhood. 

Or more punch-the-air glorious ones. I'm talking about alpha males who believed they had a God-given right to rule, who imposed their narrow worldview on millions, being forced to confront the prospect that their time is up.

And instead of accepting it with grace they petulantly fight against the dying spotlight, shedding what little is left of their dignity.

Men like Donald Trump who is so hellbent on playing the Establishment whipping boy he's told advisers he wants to be handcuffed and frogmarched into court if he is indicted for his role in paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The gargantuan ball of self-love believing the martyr look would enrage his base and make him a shoo-in for re-election as president.
