You’re A Fool If You’re Supporting Donald Trump (And You’re Being Exploited.)

Imagine my surprise when I realized that you Trump fans are not supporting him ironically. You’ve taken to him like a hipster takes to vinyl – with a stubborn and mindless affinity that inexplicably disregards all facts and evidence in favor of a predetermined, and wrong, conclusion.

 

Digital is better than that hundred year-old technology, and there were plenty of other folks up on those stages who were better than Trump. There were plenty of people in the audience better than Trump. They were wearing shoes that would make better presidents than Trump.

 

But you Trumpsters don’t care. He’s not a serious candidate, even to you; he’s a mere receptacle carrying your anger and frustration. He deserves credit for forcing the issue of illegal immigration to the forefront – for a time. But because Trump cares nothing about illegal immigration – if you actually listened to what he says instead of luxuriating in how he makes you feel, you’d see he’s still foursquare in favor of amnesty – the debate didn’t focus on immigration. It focused on Trump – how Trump feels about himself, how he feels about people who ask him questions, and more about how he feels about himself.

 

If you are still for Trump, you’re a sucker. A fool. A mark taken by a political grifter who has cunningly exploited both your legitimate rage and your inability to respond to the myriad outrages the establishment has heaped upon you with anything but inarticulate anger.

 

Let’s actually imagine a President Trump. Who is his vice president? Tom Cruise? Ivanka? Lou down at the golf course (“Lou’s a great guy and a brilliant caddy!”). Where’s his network of professionals who would staff the executive branch? Do you think anyone with any gravitas is going to climb aboard the Titanic that would be a Trump administration? And how would he work with Congress? Wanna hazard a guess? Iceberg, right ahead!
