If anybody conned voters it was Barry Sotoro Hussein Obama who conned Harvard when he claimed to be an alien (the truth?) in order to get a break in tuition or the "Hope and Change" hype which left Americans with little hope and barely enough change to buy a paper.
The above post reflects the point of the Trump presidency.
In the front of the house you give Whitehall his tinfoil Hate-the-Left identity politics.
In the back of the house you take care of the wealthy elites.
Politics as usual. Same shit, different party, and a different cast of morons slobbering over Dear Leader.
Maybe. But Trump may see some things he thinks he can help change for the better. One thing about Obama is that he illustrated an overly developed ego is not a good characteristic for a potus. And, while Obama was not truly vindictive, Trump needs to get past that shit.
But yeah, the gop takes care of the .1% first and foremost. The bastards perverted Reagan, but Trumpism is really the death of the myth of Reagan.
Well said. My one certainly about Trump is that his thin skin may create some truly odd dynamics.
I'm pretty sure he knows that he can't disrupt the global system and shift jobs back the world's most expensive labor market. Tariffs will hurt the poor consumer whom he is trying to help. And he has considerable holdings that would be harmed if he radically altered global labor prices.
His electoral strategy of tapping the white rage of the rust belt was spot on. He combined Nixon's Silent Majority and Reagan Democrats (two overlapping groups that moved Right after the Left's 60s-pivot to race, lifestyle, anti-war, etc.)
His appeals to the post-manufacturing American worker (who was laid to waste by Reagan's trade policies) is ironic. One of the last papers I wrote in school was about Reagan's textile trade policy which decimated American clothing manufacturing. Yes, Clinton completed the "Reagan/Bush's" NorthAmerican Superhighway (NAFTA) , but the Clinton's are officially OVER. Reagan, on the other hand, is still hailed as a fiscal God, making me wonder how much coverage FOX gives to Reagan's trade policies.
