The thing that makes Trump so powerful is that he really *believes* what he says in these rallies.
He’s not just ‘playing the game’ and figuring out how best to pander - unlike all of the Democrats that we’ve seen :-)
The entire state of N.Y. had the same syllabus, FOR ALL SCHOOLS ( private, parochial, and public ) so I know exactly what he had in school.
Also, ALL of the early T.V. shows, that he might have seen, were anti-Commie/pro-America. The shows for children, back then, were REALLY for children and many were just the traditional fairy tales, children's adventure stories.
And he has been saying the same things for many decades;so I knew, from the start, that he was the "REAL DEAL".
