in the book about his first year in the white house, "fire and fury", ( a superb and horrifying read btw) there is a story about his attempts to seduce one of his friends girlfriends, a foreign model. trump and his friend were talking about gamblers at his atlantic city casino they were visiting at the time and trump described them as "white trash". "what does white trash mean?" asked the foreign model. trump quickly replied "they are people just like me, only they are poor"
politics is just following the rest of humanity as we race for the gutter, competing to be the tackiest, the most intolerant, the most opinionated, the most hateful, the most selfish and the most boorish, propelled by twitter, facebook and all the other hypocritical self righteous media outlets that fight to dominate and direct public discourse today.
it is the future.
