God used many types of people to get work done, never know what he might have planned for Mr. Trump.
Liberals have to explain things to themselves, translated into Marxian.
Politico, nuff said
So, they went searching into the “annals of American history” for a Trump antecedent and returned in triumph bearing ... Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi?
They are for the most part making unflattering comparisons including using fictional characters. What they are missing is that the political and corporate elites have lost touch with the American people who are being betrayed by their leaders. Both parties have abandoned the American worker.
Wow!
Proves the first thing media have to learn is that they’ve done, and are doing, a terrible job.
Without that realization they won’t understand Trump any better than they understand anything else.
Huh? Liberal Propaganda at its finest. I'm just surprised that "Charles Manson" or the like wasn't also used.
(yawn)
Trump is “historical”! Woot! Americans love making “history” all of the time.
The one thing I like about Trump ... a lot ... is he is driving the GOPe crazy and really screwing with the paradigm.
“Historians”? They are about history as I am about flying myself to the moon. They are nothing but liberal propagandists.
Trumpian precedents?
My first thought was Andrew Jackson. If I am right, we are in for one hell of a ride the next eight years.
Wankers, all. The only one worth considering was the last guy, who said basicially that he didn’t know.
One interesting thing a few of them touch on is that Trump is the product of a lot of folks being fed up with the way things are. It’s too bad that enough people didn’t get fed up to this extent a long time ago. Where the commmenters miss the point is in their belief that being fed up has no real justification. It’s all nativism and racism.
Teddy Roosevelt.....
My closest analogy is John Hancock. Richest man in the colonies and of a suspect background. Revolution would not have happened without his financial support of Sam Adams. He saw himself as the ulimate leader, was a bragadocio, and self described as “very smart” as frequently as anyone would listen. He jockeyed to be commander of Continental Army.
Sam backstabbed him and nominated George, the traitorous loser from VA....and we all know how that turned out.
The Donald could be either John or George in the next American revolution.....or neither.

> “Politico Magazine decided to consult the archives:”
Found above in first paragraph. Normal reaction is READ NO FURTHER. Actually looking at the source will usually bring that reaction.
Ok, I forced myself to read past the first paragraph, why? Because if I see Politico pulling for Trump, then I am worried. But the probability of that happening is ZERO, why? Because Politico is an organ for liberals in government, why? Because their monthly revenues are derived from massive subscriptions to government offices. Supporting magazines or internet rags has not been observed in past administrations and should/may be illegal. In other words Politico is a paid surrogate of Obama and the democrat party.
So I forced myself to read past the first paragraph and sure enough ...:
> “Donald Trump has elements of different ***demagogues*** from the past.”
Trump is a demagogue...yep so says Politico, got it.
