An alternate explanation about Trump

I've been thinking about this man and why his antics are allowed to go on (other than we have no real journalism). Here are a couple of thoughts:

1. He's being a bully because he wants better treatment. I bet his business dealings have improved because his partners think that he'll get in and either give them preferential treatment or worse treatment. They're being nice to him now.

2. He's actually a Motley Fool. He's actually pulled back the curtain on the political process and no one said "boo" back. Who's going to fight him? He's got money. He doesn't need it. And now he's showing that BECAUSE he's got money he has no fear and no one is fighting back.


In either case, he's not another fly-by-night and he's not an idiot. He's going to be a spoiler in this election in some shape or form. And if Jessie Ventura is added, I would not count out the idiot electorate to put them in. We're laughing on one side while he's doing his slight-of-hand on the other. The only way to stop him is to get out and vote against him and his party (or parties).
