Trump’s SOTU a modern day pied piper for Nascar Dad’s & white men who have lost their identity
Trumps speech yesterday brilliantly hit ever twang of America’s jingoistic banjo.

Every day another breathless opinion piece tells us Trump is almost finished, that his poll numbers have collapsed, that he is besieged and that the Mueller investigation will destroy him.
Yet this orange tumour of a human being is still in the White House, still in power, still in control.
What happens if the Mueller investigation comes back and finds no Russian collusion?
He’s done enough to spook with crime stats & inject righteous fury into his support base – he’ll announce it’s a National Emergency once Democrats turn down this latest offer to mimic the pretence of being reasonable.
Trump is not the first President to place cheap oil and unregulated corporate greed above the public good, but he is the first to be naked in his championing of those interests without the pretend crocodile tears.
Controversial Opinion: The Democrats actually kinda *lost* yesterday’s US Midterms.
VERY LITTLE on this earth can match the agony of being trapped inside your own skin. To be aware that you are not what those whose opinions you respect wanted you to be. Your parents, your family, your pastor, your teachers, your boss, your friends: all of them at one time or another believed in you; thought you had what it took to succeed. Except you didn’t succeed, you failed. You are not a winner, you’re a loser. A loser trapped inside his own skin.
It’s not just the damage he is causing now, it is the damage he has done to the entire political environment. By lowering the standards so much for the baying masses, he has radically reset the political landscape for the next Trump and the next one after him.

During my .. brief awokenness this afternoon, I happened to peruse the newspaper. And what did I see? Pieces commenting on the recent attack at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. This is, of course, to be expected. But what was *not*, like *at all* to be expected, was the escalating level of accusations in relation to the attack that Donald Trump… is apparently an anti-semite.
So the pipe bomber targeting Democrats in the US was a Trump fanatic wanting to destroy his enemies? This is not surprising except to certain Republicans, who were keen to pin it on the Democrats as a sort of reverse strategy to harm Trump by harming their own.
