I’ve usually agreed with Daniel Pipes conservative views, particularly ones that warned Islam poses an existential threat to the USA.

His criticism of Trump is valid in that Trump compulsively talks loud, indiscretely off the cuff, and sounds like a bi-polar dictator at times.
For example, he makes repeated promises to make things “terrific” again “when he’s in charge”.
How? The devil’s in the detail.
He sees America simplistically like one of his business acquisitions that just need stronger CEO management authority and decision-making.
America not only has chronic poor mgmt problems - we also have a Yuge cultural morality problem which isn’t likely to be fixed by a leader who is not humble and overly proud.

Trump = Perot 2.0 if not through intentional deceit, assuredly through character flaw fate.
One could expect nothing different from a scowling “You’re Fired” reality show attention whore.

PS. Let’s not forget Trump took up Perot’s NY Reform party in 1998. That action alone speaks very loudly.

I agree with you.

The Romans stood once at this same place that we are at right now. They had a Republic, but they had supposedly insurmountable problems. To get themselves out of their troubled condition they opted for the guy who promised to get rid of their problems for them - who once he gained power, empowered himself.

The Romans then entered into their dictatorship phase from which they were not able to become great again.

If we don’t have someone strong step in, the country is lost.

As far as I’m concerned, anyone who doesn’t want that strong leadership, who wants another spineless wimp that’s just going to continue the destruction of the country, is part of the problem.
