| If the media loves writing articles about Trump, they could at least put a modicum of thought into topics. There are so many easy topics. Far from Trump taking over the GOP, the GOP has taken over Trump and now literally dictates his policy. Bankers contributed money and bought Trump's support for financial deregulation. Trump energy and coal policy are literally being written by GOP governors. The GOP now coordinates with Trump's speak writer to determine what is said. Starting a trade war with China would have a direct negative impact on real estate prices in the US, which would affect Trump...and therefore will never happen. A Trump presidency would basically be characterized by substantial benefits accruing to the wealthy while his middle class and lower class supporters will be further subjugated. In other words, just write about the effects of his policy suggestions...which does not take much effort. And perhaps the biggest one, instead of writing articles that Trump will somehow magically take over every American institution, the reality much more mundane. US institutions are strong and his ability to get anything done will be mired in the same red tape that every President faces. Thus, campaign promises to build walls, undo numerous trade deals, ban Muslims, deport Hispanics etc. are empty promises that simply will not occur. |
