I found an interesting website today. Confirms my gut feeling about Trump. Read this: https://mic.com/articles/148976/donald-trump-s-ghostwriter-tony-schwartz-says-trump-presidency-may-end-society#.U5cvDfUx7
In response to the dreadful events of the past weeks, Trump says, "Something is going on." Mysterious. When questioned, he won't reply. Journalists indicate that Trump is blaming President Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. Trump just shrugs and says he is the "law and order candidate". At his rallies, he says that dissenters, in the past, would have been carried out on stretchers. He promises to pay legal expenses for supporters who get arrested for inciting violence. Yes, something is going on all right.
He is stoking fear in a time of serious tumult. So that he can win an election.
His tactics are identical to those of Hitler.
Then we read that he says he might not want "to do the Presidency thing" if he wins. Because he doesn't have a clue and he is clever enough to know it.
All this undermines the foundational fabric of American society. Obama is an illegitimate President and incompetent. Hillary Clinton is a "crook". Ted Cruz is a "lying", our elective officals are incompetent and the "system is rigged". He has a negative adjective for any politician who criticizes or disagrees with him.
Then is says something is going on. Yes, something is going on - he is undermining the fabric of American society. Does he realize the extent of the damage he is doing? I don't know.
But the problem is that he will not have a clue as to how to put this discontent back in the bottle. Jeb Bush correctly perceives that Trump cannot build the wall nor ban all Moslems. Trump will only further disillusion his own supporters. But I will go further - for his supporters, Trump ahs ended their belief in the government of the Untied States of America. This is a recipe for unrest on a monumental scale domestically. This doesn't even begin to address what he would do on the international scene. Nor the views of his potential Vice Presidential candidate.
He makes Nixon look like a choir boy.
