Ask all the Trump haters why they are anti-American
Many people regard Trump as a joke, and that’s one way of looking at him.
But if he had more insight and knowledge (i.e. more than damn all), he could have been a serious danger. He thrives on unreason and divisiveness, runs an un-American personality cult, uses people for his own ends, abuses the electoral process, thinks he is entitled to defy the law, and lies his fat ass off. In a front-rank politician that isn’t a joke.
I wouldn’t call him a fascist - he isn’t smart enough. John Bolton, who saw him close up, dismissed that on the grounds that it would require more than ten seconds of connected thinking, and Trump is incapable of that.
The real danger would be a smart, knowledgeable Trumpalike who knows what he’s doing. Are there any in sight?
