I am confused. It seems like a suspended reality to me. Much like his The Apprentice show.

    That’s going to depend on who you ask. Some of the gripes Trump supporters have are completely legitimate. Things have, in fact, been getting slowly worse for the average American for the last few decades and most of them are aware of this from their own personal circumstances, even if they don’t understand the root causes.

    Trump is an idiot but he is smart enough to know that people want to be told what they want to hear and they don’t want a complicated solution, even though the solutions to many of our problems are very complicated. So, that’s what he offers. Simple, horseshit solutions that are vague enough for his supporters to imagine the outcome however they like.
