Think about what it says about the American people. How easily manipulated they are. All you need is a great deal of wealth and you can influence the American psyche and body politic. You don’t even have to win an election to influence people. Trump may not go any further but his influence is already being felt by American society. PT Barnum comes to mind.

The snake oil salesman is alive and well. In fact, he’s gotten even stronger since the 1980s thanks to the abject glorification of those that attain riches.

I really hate to have to upding you for that ;)
