    It’s not him … it’s the establishment of politicians, funders, supporters, wealthy elites and managers who all want this to happen. They want Trump up there to destroy everything for their own agenda.

    50 years from now everyone will blame Trump the man for everything … it wasn’t him, it isn’t him … it’s all the people and power brokers that brought him up and are keeping him in place.

    He is the byproduct of our system. He is not the source, he is merely the most unflattering look in the mirror of our own society.

    So, in other words…he’s delusional and thinks this is a TV show and he’s the main character?

    He’s a stupid mob boss. He threatens and abuses people to get what he wants. “It would be a shame if I imposed 145% tariffs on you, I guess I’ll do that since you’re not calling me.”

    Some of it only makes sense if you factor in collusion with hostile foreign governments.

    It succeeded because Donald had no control over it; he just showed up and did what the show’s writers and Burnett told him to do.

    Everyone always says that he was unpredictable and they had to cut and edit around what he said to make the thing make sense. Which is it? I’m more inclined to believe he was unpredictable, so I stopped reading when I got to this.

    Edit: I agree with the premise, however.

    It’s a stage for reality tv but its impacting me and you. And not in an entertaining way, or in way that it can be undone.

    It’s perfectly explained by the fact that the ruble is now worth more than the dollar…
