No. I don't think he's even been on the channel. He was interviewed by a local Fox affiliate somewhere, but I think this is one of those random op-eds that papers and websites run to fill out their space.
When your only tool is a hammer, pretty soon every problem starts looking like a nail.
Definitely. He's pushing his own theory. Still, there is something in it. Trump definitely took a very different route from the one politicians take. He wasn't trying not to offend every last possible voter group. Maybe somebody can come up with a better way of expressing what he did than "using the power of rejection."

I’ll bite. Call it the Microbrew Revolution Theory of Politics. As I grew to love craft brewing, it became clear that mainstream brewers (the Buds and Millers of the world) were not incompetent at their craft, but based their corporate strategy on offending the fewest number of drinkers, in an effort to expand their appeal to new markets. As a result, their totally bland product continually evolved in the direction of milquetoast over time...it didn’t taste bad... it just didn’t taste at all.
It is like the establishment pols who test each message of theirs on focus groups, refuse to go on the limb for anything, they end up as useless as teats on a boar. Trump, in contrast, is the amazingly hoppy IPA, which bites the palate, lingers in the throat, and offends every liberal beer drinker in the room. But it is so darn impressive it captivates all in the room. (You get the drift of my analogy)
