If one didn’t know the definition of the term “demagoguery”, just listening to Trump’s speeches would offer an adequate definition.
What do we learn from this clown’s speeches?
- Religion……….His book is second ONLY to the Bible
- Trade……..The Chinese cheat and our negotiators are “stupid”
- Immigration……Building a “beautiful wall” with Trump’s name on it is THE answer.
- ISIS………”Let’s go to Iraq and steal their oil”
- Jobs…………”I will be the best job-president that God has ever created”
- Infrastructure…I have built beautiful buildings all over the east coast”
- Campaign funding………”Yeah, yeah, I used to bribe politicians myself…but not any more…”
- Media’s influence……….”Networks love me……my antics are fun to watch and increase ratings.”
- Women’s Issues………..”I adore and worship women……just ask my previous wives.”
- Education…………..”I went to the best school for only smart people……and I’m very smart”
Now, good folks,
THAT is quite the “winning platform,” for the presidency, don’t you think?
It is very funny and entertaining. On the other hand, it is very troubling that thousands of citizens support this spoiled, peevish, vindictive, narcissistic megalomaniac.
Here's an interesting article on "Inside the GOP Clown Car". It's a long read but worth it, as it describes this very interesting GOP Clown Car phenomenon to a tee.
"Years of relentless propaganda combined with extreme frustration over the disastrous Bush years and two terms of a Kenyan Muslim terrorist president have cast the party's right wing into a swirling suckhole of paranoia and conspiratorial craziness. There is nothing you can do to go too far, a fact proved, if not exactly understood, by the madman, Trump.
It will go down someday as the greatest reality show ever conceived. The concept is ingenious. Take a combustible mix of the most depraved and filterless half-wits, scam artists and asylum Napoleons America has to offer, give them all piles of money and tell them to run for president. Add Donald Trump.
.
And to give the whole thing a perverse gravitas, make the presidency really at stake. It's Western civilization's very own car wreck. Even if you don't want to watch it, you will. It's that awesome of a spectacle"
