Trump is a cult of personality. Support him if you want to, but don’t think for a moment that’s not what it is.
He himself stated how strong his devotees are (shooting someone on 5th Avenue).
Embrace it. Own it.
Trump has strong support because he is issues oriented. 1)Build the Wall and 2)stop unfair trade.
We’ve seen how career politicians have refused to fix those problems and that’s why we prefer Trump
Might work better to try to steer, rather than stop, Trump.
I think I know where he’s coming from, and it’s his WWE redneck rassling background. He’s figuring as long as he stays in that character, whether or not he’s technically right or wrong, his fans will love it. And he’s correct about that. The point was the fight. Not even who was right.
The problem is that without any ethics behind it, this makes him look like he’s devolved into a political strongman. He started out promisingly, actually caring about truth and smashing actual lies.
Call me crazy but I just wrote his campaign suggesting he keep the redneck persona but take a different angle on it: “Rednecks Built America.”
