In many ways, Mr. Trump is the wild card in American politics
From the perspective of all of us “average Joes,” I think it is fair comment that virtually anyone running for U.S. president these days is, by definition, a shameless self-promoter—with something of a God-complex—or a loose screw. With the multitude of problems in the world, who would want the pressures that come to bear or that fish bowl existence?
Although likely to flame out as shooting stars are wont to do, Mr. Trump is channeling the very real “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore” sentiments of the unhinged UBS news anchor Howard Beale (a fictional character played to Oscar glory by Peter Finch in 1976’s Network). And the political powers-that-be on both sides of the aisle better take heed: it is not the first time a long-shot political neophyte has caused a populist phenomenon that has led to the White House.
That being said, the MSM is squarely taking aim at “The Donald,” busy crafting another superficial bogeyman of a monopoly comb-over caricature (only minus the mustache and the monocle). This is the same playbook effectively used to pigeonhole Romney as an out of touch/white/rich/Republican elitist. Sound familiar? However, unlike Mr. Romney (who was too busy playing the gentlemanly elder statesman to take the gloves off and fight for the presidency), Mr. Trump gives as much guff as he gets.
No deconstruction necessary.
Disenfranchised voters from the two parties are morphing into a new “Fed Up party.”
I”ll never vote partyline again. My party abandoned me. I am sure the Regan democrats feel the same way about the dem party going full blown commie.
Yes, the Democrats have gone full commie and the Republicans are full fascism.
1. If you attack him directly, he gets stronger.
2. If you attack him indirectly, he gets stronger.
3. If you attack him in a subtle fashion, he gets stronger. <4>4. If you attack him with sarcasm, you're crazy, because his supporters go crazy.
5. If you decide to start supporting him like you should, the positive reaction in his camp won't be so severe, you'll be happier that you're on the right track, more people will have a more favorable impression of you and your life will go better. Your life is NOT going to go better attacking Trump and angering those who support him.
There’s your “deconstruction”.
I can post as many times as you do.
