real fine and different article. I see his triumph ( so far) as another victory for " the return of the repressed",  that mover of history. Oversimple but hey.

I also cannot help seeing Trump in two ways out of the author I am obsessed with: 1) BIGFOOT--esp if played by an orange-haired Brolin with a decadent face--running for the Presidency and/or

The giant adenoid rampaging thru America.
