It's bigger than that. His actions are affecting world-wide politics.
Our government has been converted into a globalists-first institution, much as EU countries have come under the thumb of Brussels and the big dog Merkel.
-- The Establishment must destroy him to discourage anyone else in similar circumstances to follow his lead. --
The people cannot be allowed to actually govern. They must be held in a position where they BELIEVE they have freedom, all while being managed by overlords. The fake vote is a key to that, as is control of the press and education.
IMO Trump is more of a reflection/product of the changing political climate worldwide favoring populism and decrying the ruling elites who ignore the will of the people. Europe has been seething long before Trump came on the scene. The rise of the right has been happening throughout Europe mainly in opposition to mass immigration. Brexit was one example. The EU is in a state of crisis. Merkel had to form another coalition government as the AfD became the third largest party. Other examples abound in Austria, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, Finland, Holland, etc. I expect major changes in the upcoming Swedish election.
PS. Bernie was also a reflection of a similar revolution on the left. The Dems are moving further to the Left as they embrace openly Socialism and Communism.
