Trump Landslide?

“Trump is amazing,” began a conversation with a group of Americans last night.

“When he started his campaign, people thought he was just a spoiler or a buffoon. But now, I think he’s going to win the White House. Nobody likes Hillary.”

“I thought the polls showed Hillary winning by a landslide,” we replied, a bit behind the news cycle.

“Want to bet?”

At our table of six Americans, at least four were so sure that Trump would take the White House that they were willing to put money on it.

“Look, a lot of his program is amateurish and silly. But he understands the soul of the American people much better than Hillary. Just wait until he starts going after her.

“Hillary has never had a job. She has a long history of corruption. She has no idea what life is like for ordinary Americans. And those Sanders voters… they’re never going to go for Hillary. Hillary is an insider, through and through. The Sanders voters, like Trump voters, want an outsider.

“And there are now as many millennials as there are baby boomers. The boomers may go for Hillary. She’s safe. She’s practically the definition of the Establishment. She’ll protect Social Security and free pills.

“But the millennials know the system is screwing them. They will have to pay for it… to keep us old f**** living in the style to which we’ve become accustomed.”

Addicted to Illusions

Hillary is the Deep State candidate. Mr. Trump’s relationship to the Deep State has yet to be determined.

All we know for sure is that his recent foreign policy speech must have upset the neo-con empire builders, the beribboned pencil pushers at the Pentagon, the think-tank heroes, and New World Order enforcers.

Mr. Trump said, in effect, he could turn the country’s attention back to its own interests.

“America first,” Trump says, echoing a foreign policy theme not heard for half a century. “After Reagan, our foreign policy began to make less and less sense. Logic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance, which ended in one foreign policy disaster after another.”

The elite won’t like that. They caused those disasters. They profited from them. They want them to go on.

The elite depend on the illusions of the system – especially, the scammy, credit-backed dollar – for the objective reality of their jobs, their wealth, their reputations and power.

They won’t give up easily.
