Donald J. Trump is that hero, a hero right out of the pages of an Ayn Rand novel… and I’m going to make you see it.
I can hear the scoffing protests now. “Donald Trump is base, abrasive, rough, and uncouth,” and so was Ellis Wyatt. “Donald Trump inherited his money;” so did Francisco d’Anconia. “Donald Trump attacks people;” so did Ragnar Danneskjöld. “Donald Trump only wants to make money and put his name on everything;” so did Hank Rearden. “Donald Trump just wants to blow things up;” so did Howard Roark. “Donald Trump is horrible to women;” actually, “horrible” was how Howard Roark treated Dominique Francon, and Trump doesn’t come close.

Trump isn’t Howard Roark; he’s Roger Enright.
