I don't agree with that, his average Joe followers don't dictate what he does. There is a hierarchy that will dictate what he does which is often why he speaks his mind and then flip flops to what they tell him to say. He's an outspoken guy and no one expects him to be anything different, he's not classy like Obama. He's a douche bag, but in the end he's going to do what the establishment tells him just like Obama and every president before him. If you think any different I personally think you're a fool.
I would love for you to be absolutely right about this. However, the average joes who follow him make a formidable mob. He's not an outspoken guy, he's a snake oil salesman using fear and hate to drive the engine of his machine. That has a way of backfiring on people and countries. There are hundreds of historical examples. Recent ones. Enough of them so that I am very nervous about our immediate future.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
