I have an Eastern European friend who has said that sometimes, in his country, they elect a madman to remind the political class who is actually in charge if they get too corrupt or stop serving the people. My best guess is that Trump is that madman.
I am not convinced this is a good strategy, but it is at least a strategy.

- thrance 2y agoTrump is the political class. He is the elite. What are you even talking about? His government has the most billionaire representation of any government ever, a group that is otherwise an extreme minority. He is the most self-serving politician I know. You believing otherwise has me flabbergasted.
