Muppet of a Man

while it was obvious he was full of hot air, campaign trump genuinely did run against both parties and was quite perceptive about how wasteful a lot of military commitments were - see his comments on nato where he was critical of how european countries underspend on defense because they know usa will of course pick up the slack, or his attacks on the iraq war not from the perspective of humanitarian cost but from financial waste of it.
it would have been interesting to see him properly go for things like large infrastructure spending or try and go for single payer on healthcare like aspects of his campaign suggested he would. instead he's running as a generic republican with this budgets cuts to finance more pointless military spending and his healthcare plan cutting taxes for the rich while throwing millions off insurance. rubbish.
He's a fucking vacuous con man. People from NY and NJ have warned people of that. He was conning the tax payers of those states out of hundreds of millions of dollars by telling them what they wanted to hear and then doing the opposite opportunistic thing to line his pockets despite his businesses constantly failing long before he ever became involved with politics.
See his business dealings in NYC and Atlantic City for a plethora of examples.
The ironic thing is that people from the interior and rural parts of the country always have had this massive inferiority complex and chip on their shoulder, decrying NYC and NJ as havens for corrupt politicians, bankers, and businessmen. Then these same people elect number one corrupt businessman from the place they detest. You couldn't make this shit up if you tried.
