you can't be serious Ake.

self interest is the dynamo that drives Trump. i don't think great insights into the human condition are his stock in trade. that's more Billy Graham and the Pope.

however the massive indifference to the fate of displaced workers was a massive marketing opportunity that he was smart enough to recognise.

the main party candidates are all in hock to the big companies for their campaigns.

then comes this guy who is very media savvy. he doesn't need an advertising agency - he's a gift to whichever party backs him. i bet he did it for relatively speaking nothing. and because he's not in hock he can say the unsayable.

god alone knows what he will achieve for the people who have given him their trust, but they'd better count the cutlery before he splits - going on his past record.
