Trump has issued and it won’t mean a damn to his supporters. They’ve made their compact to comply with his demagogic authority, allowing them to blissfully ignore the reasoned criticisms of his detractors and allowing Trump to dodge accountability. In fact, he appears to enjoy being roughed up by the press, Mercieca notes, writing in his own book,that he didn’t “mind being attacked. I use the media the way that the media uses me—to attract attention.
I’ve only scraped the top layer of Mercieca’s thinking on Trumpian rhetoric. She attempts to fix his place in the constellation of demagogues, separating him, for example, from Hitler and Mussolini because he has not used violence in his climb to power.
Reading Mercieca prompted another question. How did Trump come to master these aspects of rhetoric? I doubt if he spent much time studying classical rhetoric at Fordham or the University of Pennsylvania. Former wife Ivana Trump once, and had read them. Asked about it, Trump responded with a kind ofMy guess is that if Trump has mastered rhetoric through book learning or imitation, he would be bragging about it like he does his other accomplishments, from real estate deals to golf scores.
Politico is a liberal rag. They appeal to the like minded folks. There is no substance only attacks without evidence. It’s how the liberal media rolls. They have nothing to offer Americans so they attack the current administration’s success.
Politico is shit!
Sure but that would require some knowledge in English, like being able to read and write.
President trump could not write the book. President turnip could barely read a fucking book
No more like talking and acting like Hitler👺👺👺☠️☠️☠️
We’ve had enough.
What will do when he wins 4 more years?
realDonaldTrump IS a demagogue.
A book he would have someone else ghost write then never read while claiming it's the greatest time ever....
GOAT
It’s time for all to speak up! For too long a lot of Americans have stood silent as tRump has fueled racism and hatred on our society! It’s not just GOP members, even people who don’t like him have kept quiet to keep the peace! Now it’s the time to speak up! AmericaOrTrump
No, he could not write a book. Someone may possibly be able to write one for him for which he could claim authorship, but he is functionally incapable of writing a cogent, coherent tweet so writing an actual book is far beyond his capabilities.
Trump’s the quitter president. His list of quitting is record breaking. We used to lead the world by example and by leadership but trump has us quitting everything! China will easily step up and push us aside. Vote trump out please.
Like Hitler did. Brazen, angry authoritarianism appears to be strength and leadership in an absence of leadership.
He brushes it off because no one holds him accountable and that is the Republicans fault. It isn’t a superpower. It is the ultimate white privilege.
God is GOOD
Dumminating America alright
He couldn’t write a sentence if his life depended on it!
It’s time to remove this traitor.
He speaks like the common man. And the common man feels heard.
When deadbeat donald said he was on his way to the place he loved and worshipped today, I assumed he was going to his country club in Virginia for a late afternoon tee time. This is the biggest idiot to occupy the white house ever.
Re: your headline, he would have to be literate.
As George Will just said He has no bottom
Except he can barely read, so...
That's what fascists do. Time to start calling things what they are.
Trump is driving down a dead end street with accelerating speed. 😷
He doesn't have super powers. He is being protected by the traitors senatemajldr SenateGOP HouseGOP and the Secret Service, Cops etc. realDonaldTrump is only a coward little man, puppet of GOP, Traitor of USA
