The Fulminator

Why The Fulminator? “One who fulminates,” the definition of fulminator, is the essence of his being and persona. As the definition of fulminates suggests, he hurls denunciations, censures and invectives menacingly, stridently. They are like sudden loud noises or explosions of text and verbiage, whether from the podium or on Twitter, often expressed through innuendo that allows him to deflect critics. He and his quips come on quickly and intensely, as does a fulminating disease.

and..

The Fulminator — like his Terminator shadow — speaks, reads, writes, even sweats, smells and bleeds. But in speaking, he mimics, echoes and amplifies to distortion national fears and prejudices, and in so doing pulls civil life toward the edge of his maelstrom of paranoia and delusion. Once in The Fulminator’s “rabbit hole,” civility and democracy barely stand a chance.
