NP A Trump Theory

[da kid]

Trimp's whole style comes from pro wrestling. The way he calls people out, the way he struts at his rallies or debates after he says something that riles the crowd up; very WWF. He appeals to the white trash that love him because memories of WWF are tightly entwined with memories of childhood happiness and ideas about what a man is. Trimp even appeared in a match one time. I had thiis idea when I was riding the bus and I heard the radio talk show people talking about the Iron Sheikh's Twitter account. Apparently he's "not P.C." and he "tells it like it is." I live in WV and this is the sentiment I hear the most coming from the Trumplodytes. The whole "snowflake" thing has been genius propaganda for the right wingers.

His greater appeal is that he bullies the people nearly every American
openly thinks must be bullied. Most Americans still cling to the myth
of American Exceptionalism. This myth, one whose power is greater than
the American economy and greater than her war machine, has made
America great and dangerous, to herself and to the world, and because
it is in steady decline, nationally and internationally, it is more
dangerous than ever. But it lives and its power should not be
underestimated. For its power is its people and their myth. And Trump
is their grotesque American hero. He is a postmodern Andrew Jackson
and Pt Barnum and Ahab and Gatsby. Lynch him with tar and feathers,
but Starbuck will not take the wheel.
