#Trump100Days 100 days of Donald Trump's loneliness

Writer Gabriel García Márquez was repeatedly asked to explain the title of his celebrated novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude." He denied it as much as he could.

"It's magical realism," he said. "Understand it as you wish." Once, however, he said that "loneliness is opposed to solidarity."

So, we understand it as we wish. The main character of the book — Colonel Aureliano Buendía — is a powerful character. But terribly lonely. He resembles Grigory Melekhov in "And Quiet Flows the Don." Buendía does not know how to live, whom to fight, where to lead his people. The colonel cannot find common ground with the people around him. He is not even able to establish a connection with the time in which he lives. And so he leads his people who knows where, to some illusory goal they themselves have invented. To the sea, which no one reaches and cannot reach, so they have to settle on the shores of the swamp.

The main character of Márquez's book — Colonel Aureliano Buendía — is a powerful character. But terribly lonely.

What do a brave mustached young Colombian and elderly Donald Trump have in common? It's loneliness. "Really?" you might start to protest.
