THE MANY PSYCHOHISTORICAL WAYS OF KNOWING In psychohistorical understanding, as in all areas of inquiry, there are many ways of knowing and of articulating description, interpretation, and explanation. In recent decades, narrative, lineal, scholarly discourse has been supplemented by applied story-telling/story-listening (Allcorn and Stein, 2015); psychohistorical poetry (Beisel, 2015; Beisel and Javors, 2021; Petschauer, 2022; Stein, 2013, 2017 [review of Dolores Brandon autobiography], 2024; Stein and Allcorn, 2020, 2021; and visual art (e.g., Sandra Indig, in Stein, 2018). For those familiar with his life and his business, television, and political careers, this entire drama seems to be a single, continuous act, of which Donald Trump is the only or central character, as well as producer, director, stage manager, sound and light manager, and script writer-though he often ad libs deviating from his scripts. CONNECTING THE IMAGERY OF ALICE'S WONDERLAND WITH A SINKHOLE IN CHINA On the face of it, it might seem preposterous that I attempt to make sense of the deepening and all-consuming Age of Trump through the imagery and metaphor of Lewis Carroll's "nonsense" fantasy novel The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland (1865), together with the geological phenomenon and image of asinkhole in which everything and everyone falls endlessly.
