I think Trump is fascinating.
First, he is not "one of us". In fact, at every turn he speaks in the grandest self-congratulatory terms. You and I can't do what he has done.
Second, he's a deal maker. If he's going to get "Mexico to pay for the wall", he's going to sell somebody out to get it. That’s how deals are done. Who's it going to be? And it's not just the "wall deal"; will China roll ? Iran? Putin? I doubt they are impressed to the point of rolling just because the Donald comes to town.
Third. We are watching the business side of the corporate oligarchy obliterate it's long-time bed mate. The corporate money is no longer fueling the candidate. It IS the candidate in a hair piece and tailor-made suit.
