    Even knowing everything that has come before intimately doesn’t make Trumps stuff make any sense. There is a reason all the professional historians, including the ones politically on his side, are up in arms about him and his plans. This is not “business as usual”, he is as bad as literally everyone that has any idea about any of this stuff says he is.

    He is way too easy to corrupt and sway. He has no idea what he is doing and trusts all the wrong people because they play him so easily. He’s a “useful idiot”, but useful to people who want to bring America down or just make more money for themselves. He still thinks all of his plans are his own ideas, or at least that he is doing them for his own reasons, but they are just tapping into his overblown self-confidence and ego.

      This is absolutely business as usual, but Trump as a business man is just more erratic and harder for those with a vested interest in maintaining existing power structures to control.

      He’s not as bad as Reagan, but he’s a loose cannon and I agree that that makes him dangerous.

      calling him “weird” actually worked

      I’m sorry, what? Did we see the same election results? Publicly dismissing someone for being weird is alienating to large swathes of the country. Many of us take pride in our weirdness.
