COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHAN FREEDLAND IN THE
GUARDIAN
"Donald Trump’s Achilles
heel is that he is truly un-American"
Well, you would have a very hard time coming up with a more
ridiculous accusation than that, Jonathan Freedland.
This suggests that you really have scraped the bottom of the
barrel in coming up with new accusations to hurl at him.
Truly, this is pure cloud-cuckoo-land, or as they'd more
likely say in America, crap.
Trump is as American as it gets, and you may take that from
someone who grew up there and lived there a significant portion of his life.
The man made a huge fortune with hard-nosed deals and
determination.
He puts his names on buildings in many cities, the kind of brash
self-advertising Americans know and appreciate.
He is loud-mouthed and opinionated, as are so very many of
his countrymen.
He displays a rather intense degree of patriotism, which in
America is the official civic religion.
Whether you agree with him or not, he communicates deep
sincerity in what he says, again a not-uncommon American trait.
And he really is concerned about what America has been doing
in the world, as are so many Americans.
Going by recent academic analysis and my own sense of all
the vote fraud and suppression and National Committee favoritism, Bernie
Sanders actually won the Democratic primaries.
So I do think the American voter has already spoken, as it
were.
Hillary is the most corrupt person I can recall ever
running, and Americans don't like corruption when it is so obvious that there's
a smell in the room.
Attendance at her rallies is small and polls of trust always
show her ranking low, despite the immense efforts of the establishment press to
sell her brand, just as you are doing here.
And there is every reason to suspect recent published polls
by news organizations have been tweaked, a very easy thing to do, polling being
as much art as science.
Further, Trump’s economic policies will appeal strongly to
many working-class Americans. In some ways, they very much resemble what you’d
see from a Democrat in the 1960s.
Together with the Bernie supporters, furious at being
cheated, plus his own special constituency, he is going to win and win big.

Response to another

Foolish comment. You select the trivial on which to comment,
and then you are wrong in fact.
It IS Trump's hair.
He had a hair transplant years ago as his hair went thin.
However, hair transplants only give you a new hairline, most
recipients choosing to fill in behind with a special toupee. Trump prefers to
grow his long and comb it back.
