So much has been said about Trump that what makes me think I have anything to add. I don't, other than I can cuss in referring to Trump, the sorry "mother." I heard Mark Shields on the PBS Newshour give an opinion which makes sense to me about the Trump phenom. He said,
"Fitzgerald wrote, the rich "are different from you and me." Those with a lot of money are paid an unearned respect and deference by people seeking their favor. The opinions of the rich — even those that are foolish and without merit (Trump)— are almost always greeted with apple-polishing approval and praise. But if we don't challenge one another's errors, facts or flaws" an asshole like Trump is clueless because all his life he has been rich. Never struggling, asked to step up. He has had it all. Now, in a sense he is at a point where if he needs to know something, he will know it.
When I was in the Army, I saw the same thing with generals. They have private places, servants (they don't call them that but same thing). The people around generals tell them exactly what they want to hear. Same with the rich, they don't really need to know anything. How a stupid f..ker like Trump thinks he can be President is beyond me.
