One of the few publications I subscribe to, the print edition, is The Spectator magazine, founded in 1828. The latest issue, has The Donald on the front cover, which thankfully non-subscribers can read at their website.
So, I thought I'd post a link to it, for people to read, it's quite good I think....also, to the right of the page, the other Spectator articles and Opinion Pieces can be read, they're quite good too, so I recommend you read them.
Donald Trump offers only gloom, insults and arrogance - and America loves him for it
"Ronald Reagan wooed America with sunny optimism. From the offset, Donald Trump has offered something much darker. He began his presidential campaign on 16 June by declaring that the âAmerican dream is dead.â He said that the country was being run by âlosersâ. âWe have people that donât have it,â he said. âWe have people that are morally corrupt. We have people that are selling this country down the drain.â He insisted that only he, Donald J. Trump, had what it took âto make America great againâ.
This was not âMorning in Americaâ; more Midnight in America. Trumpâs pitch was gloom, insults and arrogance. Strangely enough, however, that turned out to be exactly what millions of American voters wanted to hear. By trashing the United States and comparing his country unfavourably to himself, Trump tapped into something deep and powerful in the American psyche. Now there are only a few days left before the presidential election process starts, and âThe Donaldâ continues to storm the polls. He probably wonât be president, but it now looks as if he probably will be the Republican nominee â the heir to Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower. Itâs a mind-boggling phenomenon."
