“Of course it’s true....and Trump knows it all to well. They’re all trying to help him find a way out...and he wants out.”

Wow. It’s starting to feel like I’ve stumbled into an electric Kool-Aid acid test.

Is that you, Ken Kesey?

There is BIG MONEY to be made in interpreting fast-changing opaque American political drama for confused, and cash-flushed foreign governments and corporations represented by the suits on K Street. Like taking candy from a baby. (Read "Agents of Influence" by Pat Choate in 1990).

Boy, am I in the wrong business--but I could never turn coat and do that against my country and for a fast buck. There are many who would and do though. Some of the biggest players: Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Saudis, Pakistan, Israel.

Why is it not illegal for foreign nations AND our enemies to have lobbyists influencing our lawmakers?\

If they’re all afraid of Trump that should make every Cruz supporter switch. I don’t see any of our enemies saying they’re concerned about Cruz or Hillary getting elected.

....”Don't piss them off! He's shaking up a wasp's nest.”....

He's simply revealing he hasn't a clue about foreign affairs let alone how to be a leader of the USA... or he wouldn't be belching this stuff as he is. Heck he was asked at a town Hall yesterday what the three most important tasks of our government are...can you believe Trump said Security, HEALTHCARE and EDUCATION...the two we're fighting to get the govenments hands off from...

He never thinks anything through nor can he because he has no foundations on the issues at all, it's whatever comes to his mind at the moment regardless of what his words reflect to the audiences watching and listening......it all comes from his self centerdness which isn't stable in itself let alone transfer that outword to an entire world listening. He is pretty dangerous when it comes to his mouth, and not in the ways people are most offended by....he's not speaking as a leader of a country...rather he sees the country as his company he's going to manage as a CEO. The Presidency goes so much further than what the man is capable of filling.....and I think he's currently understanding this is so....he may very well be looking for a way out as he discovers more and more what being President is about. No doubt in my mind he's way in over his head and never planned to be where he is today.

They aren’t afraid of Trump...they realize he doesn’t know what he’s doing...and he doesn’t either....nor does he care that he doesn’t.

Trump told a town hall gathering this week that Security, healthcare and education are the Governments top three responsibilities.......so he wants Government to run education and healthcare.....the very things we’ve been fighting the government to get their hands off....and yet another crowd he was speaking to prior he said just the opposite.

The man is unstable regarding where he stands on the issues that matter.....so nobody, most of all Trump are going to know what he does if he wins this.......the fact he said when he announced that he was Establishment ‘just two months prior’ should have been a siren to those who cared to hear what he was saying rather than just his hype.....

So, all these foreign countries are worried about Trump because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. But they weren’t worried about a community organizer?

Of course they were concerned about Obama as well...and voiced as much during his elections....they still are....in fact many favored Obamas opponents as we know. Why would you think otherwise?

At any rate Obama’s not running......it’s apparent they would be more comfortable with Hillary over Trump...they know her well and what to expect...Trump is like a firecracker...even he doesn’t know what he will do....and admits so. He has no foundation rather plays everything from the moment he is in...and that could mean anything.

Trump has now seen his opponents from both parties in action, and he has taken their measure.

He has also taken the measure of the national media, the unelected political establishments of both parties, and foreign “leaders”.

The establishment admits they don’t understand Trump’s appeal - so Trump knows they are out of touch.

The establishment is rallying to Clinton as the “most experienced” and “most prepared” to be President - so Trump knows they are morons.

Having lived this campaign for the past 9 months, Trump must be more confident than ever that he can do a better job as President than any of these slugs.
