Trumpism as Political Philosophy

19. Right. He's running on a cunning mixture of far right 'truths' and lies about his 'liberal beliefs'

Anything he says that sounds like he's not a far right extremist is just a lie to get him around issues that the repugs can't sell their viewpoints to the public on. Very calculated.

Reminds me of Ryan's current attempt at an extreme makeover of his anti-poor policy positions. Or like Bob McDonnell telling Virginia voters that he no longer believed any of the zany ideas in his theocratic graduate student thesis in order to get them to vote for him. Then once he got into power, he enacted every crazy idea in that thesis that he could get away with. Or like McCrory telling NC voters that he wasn't in favor of his state's repug legislature's abortion restrictions and that his opponent was lying when calling him an anti-choice zealot, then as soon as he got in, he signed the bill he had promised the sucker voters he opposed as 'too extreme'. Or like l'il bush calling himself a 'compassionate conservative' who 'opposed international intervention and nation-building', when all of his opponents knew he would go to war at the drop of a hat as soon as he got into power, and knew he didn't give a crap about showing any suffering American compassion.

dRumpf can't run credibly against 'free trade' while giving his pea-brained followers hats saying 'Make America Great Again', with 'Made in China' labels inside them.
