He could be the best bought and paid for democrat plant we have ever seen or loves America and wants to make it great again or just batshit crazy and thinks he can win. Time will tell.
I’ve said it before, he may be a trojan horse and a trap.
This is my impression, based on observation, gut instinct, and wild-assed guessing:
Trump sees himself as a patriot. He’s not a political animal like we are. He’s not a conservative. Any conservatism that he has is only by accident. He is running on instinct and not some grand social and political vision.
But he can see what we do, especially those of us old enough to remember the 1950s and 1960s. The country is going to hell and that trip is on an express train courtesy of Imam Barack Obama and his coven of weirdos, Leftists, and America haters. Trump doesn’t have to be a Free Republic reading activist to see that.
Trump has had closer dealings with politicians of all stripes than most of us will ever have. They have all hit him up for money at one time or another. He’s had the opportunity to take their measure. He’s not likely to be in awe of any of them.
He’s probably brighter than we give him credit for. We see the celebrity clown act and the brash and boastful public persona. But I don’t think that he would be the success that he is in the business world if that’s all there is to him.
A month ago I thought that he was clowning around with ‘running’ simply to get publicity and to enhance his ‘brand’. I thought that this was nothing more than celebrity nonsense. But I now think that he’s serious and that he believes that he can win.
It’s not as far fetched as the entrenched political establishment would have us believe. He’s got enormous name recognition. The public at large isn’t going to pay attention to the flip-flops that mesmerize us here in Freeperville. He will be able to assemble whatever sort of kitchen cabinet that he wants and needs. He won’t be lacking for advice. I doubt that he will let advisors tell him what he should do when it runs against his instincts. One of his instincts seems to be that he and Ted Cruz have a future.
i think you have covered all the bases.
