Touting the Trump Revolution, and the Love of the Masses

DONALD TRUMP teh candidate still reminds me of Hitler the candidate, I still like him, and those two facts still frighten me. Nothing has changed. One would think that those two facts would frighten any sane soul. A super charismatic candidate, promising to give our greatness back to us, all big talk and bombast. Vintage Hitler....Does the Donald want to make America "great" again...or "white" again?....As we speak, Hillary versus Trump, I could vote for Donald, since I'm a Sanders man. Hillary is a person of prodigious talents, but utterly corrupt; she shines and stinks like dead mackerel by moon light, as the quote goes. Trump, meanwhile, is all over the map, hard to predict, which I like. The G.O.P. establishment and right wing looks for consistently conservative - everything - but won't get it with Trump. Consistency, the Donald doesn't do. One can even see the Donald doing health care, socialist style. Unless Bernie can get Hillary to shape up (move left and stop the shadiness), I vote Trump. He's malleable, in a strange sort of way. Liable to do anything, which also makes him deadly dangerous, like Hitler. Hitler could have been a great leader, but for a few wrong decisions. Trump's craziness has the potential to lead America over the edge. Some crazy, show off war, creeping environmental neglect for profit, am extreme economic policy or two could all do the trick. Trump'll have to deep six the Islamic exclusion stuff, and the Mexican wall as well. Some intelligent comments wouldn't hurt, nor would a few coherent policy statements. Other than that, Der Trumpmeister's good to go. What I like about Trump is his love of making deals, his understanding that deals must be made, and that negotiation and compromise are good things. We seem to have forgotten all that among our more right wing "my way or the highway" fanatics. But can you, or anyone else, even remotely imagine what a President trump might do behind our backs? Can we say "serious citizen oversight"? the economists tell us that the ex patriot jobs aren't coming back, and they argue that case well. But if anybody can walk into a board meeting of a huge American corporation, and "persuade" the hot shots to bring their jobs abroad back to America post haste, with or without bottom line corporate sacrifice; it would be President Donald J. Trump, no? You can almost envision President Trump announcing his intention of dropping in on the next board meeting at Apple Computer, and persuasively encouraging said big shots to "git 'er done....or else"... What a riot! Donald J. Trump would love nothing more than being idolized by tens of millions of Americans as their personal economic savior, and to do that, he is ready, willing, and able to borrow from the play book of Bernie Sanders, or anyone else. Trump already has money and fame. He lacks power and popularity, which the presidency could bring, if he appeals to the masses, the poor working and financially underwater masses, who greatly outnumber the rich, the rich, who, after all, have no hold on Trump. The rich have nothing Trump wants, but the poor do. They have love.
