>>I have been saying this to friends for several months. But I add that he is also an ‘entertainer’ which in this age of ‘bread and circuses’ will win the masses.

History is tough, but there is the internet to make it easier.

For those of us who were around in the 1980’s, Trump was a wealthy real estate developer who had sizable following long before the first season of “The Apprentice” ever aired. When I was serving on a submarine in the mid-80’s, his book, “The Art of the Deal” was very popular among those of us who weren’t planning to go beyond our current enlistment.

It is intellectually lazy to dismiss him as an “entertainer”.

He is also very good at that.

In fact, his "propaganda" and rhetorical skills exceeds that of Adolf Hitler.

You were a submariner? I wrote a book on the Trident program. SSBNs or SSNs?

agreed everyone i know read that book. and it was great read. an entertainer would have built plastic houses for a movie set. I think he has built a lot more than that.

Please show me where I am intellectually lazy, or where in my statement I dismiss him. Regan was also an entertainer and won by a landslide.
