Donald Trump May be running for POTUS.Posted on 2/10/11 at 9:54 am
Simply amazing.
This post crossed my mind shortly after the Donald's win and I've been meaning to dig it up.

I watched Trump on Piers Morgan last night. I'm not a Donald "guy" , haven't watched his show, and am generally "-meh-" towards his schtik. It's obvious he is running for POTUS. I would classify his diagnosis as AMERICAN DECLINISM and his cure as ECONOMIC NATIONALISM. A bit like Pat Buchanon, but without the "culture warrior" baggage. I was really surprised how much I agreed with him. He wants to play economic hardball with China, Opec & others. He's hit a particular strain of POPULIST thought that is sweeping the American Zeitgeist. And I really think his message could resonate at this EXACT moment in American History. Thoughts from the Peanut Gallery ?
Prophetic

The dude had it called. He's got his finger on the pulse of the country a hell of a lot better than I do, that's for damn sure.

Why? That's the anal board of TD. Too many people over there always telling you to stick something up your arse.

Yeah, the Simpsons still outrank him for bragging rights but impressive as hell nonetheless.

Cheers to you sir! The post deserved recognition.
Amazing insight back when pretty much everyone would have considered a Donald Trump presidency to be an absurdity of galactic proportions...myself included.
BTW...what are tonight's winning powerball numbers?

He will preach "Trade Fairness w/China and Job Creation" and his opponents will call him a Xenophobe. The charges of Xenophobia will register to the average American as standard-issue media & institutional elitism and this will give him a further bump. Nobody is noticing, but I REALLY think he's tapped into something. My Libertarian purist friend told me Trump was onto something and I wasn't getting it, but now I see it. At the very least, this ensures these critical topics will be discussed. American Declinism is the Zeitgeist, just like pre-Reagan. Somebody is going to address that rallying point, and take off.
Damn. Just damn.

I actually did another thread where I laughed about the Left calling Trump a racist around that same time. To lazy to find it.

I like your analysis.
It seems that Trump has carved himself out a pretty good spot.
He will preach "Trade Fairness w/China and Job Creation" and his opponents will call him a Xenophobe.

Nice call.
