Americans didn't vote for Trump because they didn't know he’s a con man, but because they did know.
Most Americans are conformists, chafing against authority and making heroes of those who successfully defy it, even when they're outlaws like Jesse James. Not because their laws are unjust—most Americans have no more sense of right and wrong than their masters do; all they know is obedience and disobedience—but they prefer less violent heroes, if only because the punishment for disobedience is less severe.
Most of all they admire a successful con man, even when they’re the victims of his con, because he exposes the hypocrisy of our society. It's tiresome pretending this Potemkin village called 'The United States' is real.
Like all successful con men, Trump has a sense of humor. He lets his marks in on the joke, and they love him for it, even though the joke's on them.
He mocks the myth of the self-made man as well as the myth of the clueless, self-centered rich man when he says he started out in business with nothing but a small loan of a million dollars from his father. He mocks his own victims/supporters as well as the society that teaches them to be victims when he says he loves the poorly educated.
His opponents claim Trump is America’s Hitler. He's actually the man German industrialists thought Hitler was.
They thought Hitler was only a con man, an opportunist whom they could buy and use, when in reality he was a fanatic. Trump really is only a con man.
For a while this clown amused us with his antics, diverting our attention from the crimes of our masters; but now that comedy has turned to tragedy, it's time for Pantalone to exit the stage.
Trump has shown his supporters what they would do if they had his power, and most of them—not all, but most—don’t like what they see, so it’s time to install a more conventional figurehead.
The MSM tell us all our troubles will be over when Trump is voted out. What will Americans do when they realise Biden is just a colorless Obama? Probably nothing, as usual.
