He was a dead ringer from Day 1. Which is why, once one understands the personality type, he is so completely predictable and a main reason he admires Putin and Kim Jong-Un and why they admire him also, although in Putin's case, it is most certainly because he knows he's "smarter." (Drumpf would end up a little bug smashed under his foot.) Trump, Jan. 9: If you look at North Korea – this guy, he’s like a maniac, OK? And you have to give him credit. How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden — you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that? Even though it is a culture and it’s a cultural thing, he goes in, he takes over, and he’s the boss. It’s incredible. He wiped out the uncle. He wiped out this one, that one. I mean, this guy doesn’t play games. And we can’t play games with him. Because he really does have missiles. And he really does have nukes. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Horrific.

Great article. I particularly liked: No. These people are us. Who are we? Where is our humanity? Where is our compassion? This is we the people. There is no “other” America. This too is America. This is us. We are the beautiful. We are the hideous. Each one of us is where the beautiful and the hideous mingle. It would be comforting to pretend that all of this is taking place somewhere else, on some other strange and unfathomable planet where hatred and xenophobia roam free. It would be comforting, but it would not be true. We live on this planet. This too, alas, is America. I refuse to believe that somehow what is taking place in these rallies is an aberration, something that is taking place “outside” of America. No, this level of hatred is America. It’s not all that we are. And it is certainly not the best part of who we are as a people. But it is a reflection of where at least some of us are in this very moment. We need to own it and process this sentiment in some manner, and then we can move past it. I think the true Trump is becoming more and more evident, and becoming a turn off to who those who considered him an entertaining novelty and a viable alternative. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
