The Pirates picked two guys off the wire and started them.
The Trump Mystery
Trump is a blustering, exaggerating, obnoxious guy. He doesn't have much of a political philosophy. He came to power 'riding a horse he neither bred nor raised.' A disruptive populist anti-politician his supporters identify with. Yet his opponents hate him. Hate him. And that hatred runs the risk of bleeding into his supporters. What has stimulated the incredible animosity toward a guy who is more of a caricature of a politician than a politician?
Or, is that--and his cartoon presidency--the point? Maybe the people who revere political power just cannot stand to see it debased.
