The swamp monster? Is that Trump? One wonders how he won the last
election.
Demagoguery that few people thought could work in America because Americans are allegedly too sophisticated and learned for that stuff. The nation of Walt Whitman and Ernest Hemingway could never fall for that. Except that the people who read Whitman and Hemingway weren't the ones who voted for him. Something like the people who listened to Bach and read Goethe would never vote for... Add to that a frekish situation in the Electoral College.

in London, and especially thrilled at the baby Trump balloon.
I wish I were there to protest.
Quote: Trump has been avoiding them by using his Marine 1 helicopter to move
around, rather than traveling by auto, which would allow protesters to
target him. I saw al-Jazeera show a shot of the helicopter traveling
across the screen, and the so-called news reporter said, "Trump has
brought his own military threat to London." It's always fun and
educational to hear what the leftists have to say.
Donald Trump makes me look with longing to Ronald Reagan, who for all his faults did not mock the handicapped, brag about grabbing women by their crotches, stiff subcontractors, bait aliens, mock well-established religions, or get cozy with tyrants.
