I would think so, but I cannot completely dismiss the notion that Trump might also be regarded by them as "someone with whom we can make a deal."
Everything is so complex that you really can't rule much of anything out.
Some of us believe the Democrats, GOPe, and globalist-elites are desperately plotting ways of remaining in power by hook or crook without it appearing to obvious.
Honest opinions please. Thanks you.
I think you have pretty much summed up my thinking in this regard. In the last seven months, I have come to a realization that this very same dynamic was at work in 1860, and is what actually triggered the civil war.
"Global Trading interests", which on the Eastern seaboard meant mostly "European Trade", appears to be the focus around which the push for war coalesced.
No, we can't totally dismiss the notion that Trump is regarded as someone with whom deasl could be struck -- but that perception isn't necessarily bad or possibly unprincipled, is it? Could work in our favor for those on the fence and those who had planned to totally screw us, but might only do so half way -- a net gain for our side of 50% ;-)

("Global Trading interests", which on the Eastern seaboard meant mostly "European Trade")
In that context there is a tangible parallel, isn't there? Economic and sovereignty considerations are at stake. Today's Globalists are trying to maintain their monopoly and stranglehold on trade policies -- just as back in 1860 (when the battle over "European Trade" was the issue.)
