Trump is the winner 8-21-2016

21, August 2016               Trump is the winner

There is little lingering doubt that Donald Trump possesses neither the band-width nor the stomach to meet the demands of the presidency. Readers may recall he offered John Kasich to be his Dick Cheney VP clone with the understanding that he would assume the responsibilities of domestic and foreign affairs freeing Trump to bask in the trappings of power.

Trump is not an ideologue like his former Republican rivals, or a “Bernie Sanders” driven by a desire to level the playing field for poor Americans suffering job losses and unpaid medical bills or the younger Millennials burdened with student debt.

Regardless of the outcome of the election, Trump will be a clear winner.

The unprecedented media attention has already boosted his business profits and assured him a coveted presence among the ‘talking heads’ of mainstream media.  It is also possible that he might abandon the ‘crooked media’ and form his own media company with the help of former Fox chairman, Roger Ailes.

The media continues to be enthralled with the Trump phenomena offering him free air time to report his daily outlandish pontifications. Likewise his supporters seem to be in a perpetual trance mesmerized by their Pipe Piper. Even his flip/flopping on the issues and insults don’t seem to faze them. Little do his admirers realize that their media idol will dump them as soon as he has capitalized on their support in much the same way he acquires properties, extracts handsome profits and then discards the dead carcasses.
