43. Trump has studied demagogues.....

I thought way back in June, when he sailed down that escalator on his announcement day, that he held himself and facially mimicked Mussolini. This is an affectation that he has studied and is purposely using; these facial expressions and that body language is not the norm. But if you've ever watched old war films, he is the reincarnation of Mussolini. Very on point with every aspect of him. It is terrifying. These people like Les Moonves and Jeff Zucker, who make statements like "Trumps good for business" better wake the hell up. This ceased to be funny a long time ago.
