i think that populism will conveniently be forgotten once he’s no longer looking for votes, then what will he revert to? trump voters are taking so much on faith, directed towards a man who has exhibited so little faithfulness in his own life.
True, Trump might forget who buttered his bread.
But this is a problem with all politicians.
And when it comes to finances, many people make much of his four chapter 11 business filings (a loan restructure, which is not tantamount to a personal bankruptcy — the debtors still get paid back, but on a longer schedule). But they forget that this represents a single digit percentage of his total business transactions, in which others he delivered as promised.
Trump may be agonizing to watch, but I don’t think he’s going to muff the financial side of things.
