Spoiled Rich Kid, Saves World?
Trump is looking stronger in the polls, which might imply Americans seem focused more on not re-electing the typical DC politician who speaks "political-ease" and "newspeak," those who've mastered the art of "plausible deniability." The latest polls show that many Americans admire Trump, not so much because of what he is actually saying, but because he seems to speak "truth to power." Whether one agrees with his claims, which is a minor area of dispute, what's most admirable--in many Americans' opinions--is that Trump doesn't kiss DC tail. He actually seems to enjoy stirring up the hornet's nest. It's a sort-of "Spoiled Rich Kid, Saves World" meme.
