Trump is attractive precisely because the Establishment fears and loathes him because 1) they didn't pick him and 2) he might upset the neoconservative Empire that the Establishment elites view as their global entitlement.
The Establishment is freaking out about Donald Trump for one reason: they didn't pick him. The Establishment is freaking out because the natural order of things is that we pick the presidential candidates and we run the country to serve ourselves, i.e. the financial-political elites.
Donald Trump's candidacy upsets this neofeudal natural order, and thus he (and everyone who supports him) is anathema to the Establishment, heretics who must be silenced, cowed, marginalized, mocked and ultimately put back in their place as subservient debt-serfs.
With Trump ascendant, the serfs are selecting the noble in the castle on the hill. Outrageous! Unheard of!
You know the Establishment is freaking out when Establishment pundit mouthpieces like David Brooks and Francis Fukuyama are freaking out about Trump. David Brooks could not restrain his disdain for Trump on a recent Charlie Rose segment, in which he intoned (and I paraphrase) that Trump can't put eight words together without referring to himself, i.e. he is not just a narcissist, but he is (take this, Trump!) a fragile narcissist-- unlike people like Brooks, of course, who are solid, secure, wise, well-educated, erudite water-carriers for the status quo.
Policy heavy-hitter Fukuyama confesses the political system in the U.S. is broken but he can't understand why the citizenry has selected the "singularly inappropriate instrument" (his description of Trump in the pages of Foreign Affairs) of Donald Trump to express their disdain for their neofeudal lords.
Well, Mr, Fukuyama, let me explain it to you: the debt-serfs have selected Trump precisely because the neofeudal financial-political nobility you represent consider him a "singularly inappropriate instrument".
But, the pundits rage, he's a narcissist. He's fragile. (Now isn't that a classic middle-brow slam from the hopelessly middle-brow ("I only sound middle-brow due to my starring role in the mainstream media; actually I'm brilliant beyond words") Brooks.
Policy guru Fukuyama has a much better turn of phrase, of course: "narcissist" is way too common and middle-brow a critique at his level. Thus we get "singularly inappropriate instrument" (ooh, now there's a sharpened blade that slips easily between the ribs).
Dear Establishment pundits, flacks, hacks, sycophants, apparatchiks, toadies, lackeys, functionaries, leeches and apologists: the more you label Trump as "singularly inappropriate," the more attractive he becomes to the 81% who've been left behind by the financialized-globalized-neofeudal order that has so greatly enhanced your own wealth, influence and power.
Trump is attractive because the Establishment fears and loathes him. Why? 1) They didn't pick him and 2) he might upset the neoconservative liberal hegemony Empire that the Establishment elites view as their global entitlement.
The elitists like Brooks and Fukuyama admit that politics have failed. But they believe the solution is more people like us in power. You know, reasonable, well-educated elitists who won't stoop to get our hands dirty with laundered millions (for example, the Clinton Foundation).
The utter cluelessness of the professional apologists and punditry would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic: the more you fume and rage that Trump is unqualified, narcissistic, singularly inappropriate, etc. etc. etc., the more appealing he becomes to everyone who isn't inside the protective walls of your neofeudal castle.
The people outside the cozy walls of the protected elites don't care if he is unqualified (by the standards of those who get to pick our presidents for us) narcissistic, singularly inappropriate, and so on--they are cheering him on because you, the multitudes of water-carriers for the Imperial elites, the teeming hordes of well-paid, I-got-mine-so-shut-the-heck-up pundits, flacks, hacks, sycophants, apparatchiks, toadies, lackeys, functionaries, leeches and apologists, are so visibly afraid that your perks, wealth, influence and power might drain away if the 80% actually get a say.
Dear pundits, flacks, hacks, sycophants, apparatchiks, toadies, lackeys, functionaries, leeches and apologists: we're sick of you, every one of you, and the neofeudal Empire you support. We want you cashiered, pushed outside the walls with the rest of us, scraping by on well-earned and richly deserved unemployment.
Hillary has Parkinson's...

Even worse, Hillary has Cankles.

“We want you cashiered, pushed outside the walls with the rest of us"
I’ll take drawn and quartered for 200, Alex.
While I have my doubts about Trump from time to time I will still be voting for him if for no other reason than that the MSM and establishment RINO's seem to hate him so much.
just wish my vote opps, votes matter?
The rampant hyperbole and anti-Trump rhetoric demonstrated by all of the MSM in the US today has become downright commical... Only someone with an IQ hovering around room temperature believes any of this crap, which is exactly why it is working on liberals... You know, the folks that vote for a living as opposed to working for a living... Prepare accordingly...
Yeah, like Trump isn't a spawn of the plutocracy. He's just fallen out with his former buddies because of his sociopathy. Tump Conglomerate, Trump University, Trump Tower, Trump billions -- don't try to pretend he isn't part of the establishment. He's not what happens when you stop licking ass, he's what happens when you lick the *wrong* ass.
Do not bear the Mark of the Cankle lest ye be Second Amendmented......
"The More The Establishment Freaks Out Over Trump, The More Attractive He Becomes"
This is exactly why we need to totally disregard every negative spin or poll that the MSM vomits upon us. It is (as always with them) nothing but lies to garner apathy and defeatism amongst Trump supporters. Think like adults people... ignore them... know that they are purposefully attempting to deceive you. That's all they have. They are becoming more and more desperate as the election nears. They will scrape the bottom of their sewers to get their murderous whore in power and maintain their slimy hold over us. Stay the course. Remain optimistic. Truth will eventually win the day. (This is not to say that Trump represents the truth. However, because the establishment hates him so vociferously, his victory would obviously be a step in the right direction.)
well put!
can i add, the cocksuckers...
Americans are sports minded people. The MSM is the Ref and all the American people see is the Ref blowing the whistle for stupid shit and giving the advantage to the lesser team.
They will reject this shit in the fall.
Truth will win the day? Do you know anything about humans?
Sorry, Elco... I'm an eternal optimist. Maybe it's Nietzsche's "superman" who will be around to carry the truth to ultimate victory. In the meantime, little victories will have to stand as truth winning the day.
CHS nailed it. This was exactly the same in the case of the UK Brexit vote. Of course, the big difference in the UK is that they use paper ballots and voter ID against a list of registered voters.
Rob (((Reiner))) attacked Trump today, quoted Gabby (((Giffords)))
Played the holocaust card when saying how dangerous Trump is, said his uncle was a holocaust survivor.
Everyday a new Jew attacks Trump.
So many survivors....sheesh....lol
Sorry Meathead, but Archie and Edith are voting Trump because you lefties are killing the once great United States.
unemployed because they have no skills that are hireable for a living wage. take that back, maybe at a casino, knee capping, opps - someone else doing the dirty deed, but yea, the fuckers would sink fast where i work. fucking suites...
I am sick and tired of TRUMP saying the things that everyone else is thinking but does not have the balls to say!!
For the benefit of ZH'ers who are thinking about moving elsewhere in America:

...really? Martin Shkreli?
Due to her fall, TBI (Truamatic Brain Injury) & subsequent Seizures in public. Neurologically speaking, due to declining health, Hillary is unfit to run or hold any political office. She's a National Security risk for continued falls as well as continued functional decline.
Yes, I agree these are symptoms of Parkinson's and not seizures, which last longer. However, dopamine levels and drugs commonly used to treat Parkinson's don't explain the coughing fits. Those are most likely explained by a group of anti-hypertensive drugs called ACE inhibitors suggestung she also has hypertension. The diazepam shots by her minder are just to calm her and get her through a Parkinson's moment.
Thump IS establishment.
WTF don't you understand about that.
If Trump was establishment, the establishment would not hate him like they do.
Sorry scm, there's no evidence that he's establishment.
Unless you're keeping it to yourself? If so, go ahead and bare it. In the end, he's a slower burn than the Chappaqua witch.
The whole city in DC is rotten to the core with the Clinton Foundation. Every American affiliated with it is a defacto traitor. They're desperate for Trump not to win-and yet his winning is the best outcome for them-at worst it will be Club Fed at Leavenworth. for 3-5
If their candidate-the Clinton Foundation candidate--whoever it finally is-wins -1789 in France may well look like a picnic.
That gave me a rebellion chubby
I know US citizen STEM workers are sick and tired of having both their compensation, as well as their role in society and business severely suppressed by the current crop of elites who think nothing of bringing in millions of guest workers.
I tell everyone I talk to not to fall for the STEM bs like I did. It's freaking hard, and It's not transferrable. Go party for four years, get a business degree, sell stuff, and stack gold while moving up the ladder. There is no up in engineering, just competing with an unlimited flow of literal slaves for wages.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Eliminate the H1B program.
Then corps will have to pay US educated STEM graduates what they are worth.
It doesn't have to be that way, but that's the way it is. Ending h1b is critical to our middle class. Sort it out later, but just Fn end it for now.
I agree.
I have been an Engineer, a Consultant, a Salesman, a Sales Manager, a Sales Director, a President, and a CEO.
That is why I agreed with both your comment, and the commentor you originally replied to.
With H1B in place- yes, better to fast-track to Sales.
But if H1B were eliminated, then STEM would be the backbone of this country- as it once was.
They don't even have ro eliminate it.
All is needed is for the law to be enforced.
No H1B visas for consulting and contracting companies.
Employers have to look and fail to find a US citizen or permanent resident first.
I agree on the STEM bs, but get a degree in Nursing. You get critical thinking skills that are directly transferable to the business world and you're not changing Foley's or rinsing bedpans.
Another question: can anyone tell a difference at Faux News now that the sack of crap Roger Ailes is gone?
Yes. They're not as anti-Clinton anymore.
The veil is lifted - the opposites are actually partners and you (all of us) have been the mark. All these years.
Beautiful. Trump in a landslide.
AMEN!!!
Am stashing my popcorn for the day those sicko Clintons finally check out. That'll be the day I turn my TV back on.
Funny how it is never a "bad week for Mrs Clinton", just Trump.
One thing I am sure a President Trump will do, is to investagte the rigging of elections, since it was used against him.
More than that Lord: Bill and Hillary and countless accomplices NEED to win this election to avoid RICO corruption and other criminal charges. The current OBammy Admin/DOJ has given them cover and of course if Hillary wins, her DOJ is going to turn a blind eye to Clinton Foundation/TENEO, et al. and all their grubby benefactors and minions.
This election is ALL OR NOTHING/JAIL for the Clintonistas...and you know if they lose and Trump's DOJ comes after them, they will do anything, spill the beans on anyone, murder anyone to keep their wretched hold on power.
THIS is why the rat bastard elitist neo-con & liberal turds are really freaking out. Hundreds of them could go under in a Trump admin/DOJ investigation.
If the polls start tightening further in September or Trump starts edging ahead (i don't believe them anyhow), watch the slow motion train wreck of desperation that follows....One can only hope.
Amen brutha! +10,000!
The tech sector also needs Hillary to win to avoid RICO for H-1B abuse. As does much of the hedge fund and banking sector.
There's a lot of people whose futures are riding on keeping justice suppressed in this country, that's for sure.
I've been warning (consistently) about the Self-Absorbed -- the Narcissist and Sociopath -- for over ten years.
Now it's all the rage.
It is dangerous to throw these diagnoses around...
it is quite complicated.
Trump doesn't fit that bill; his is not the pathology we need to be worrying about.
7 billion humans on this planet and NO one can be any more narcissistic that the current occupant of the Oval Office - NO ONE!!
just wait.
You could try to sort out the narcissism from the weak and opportunistic character, the Puppets, but you won't get far.
And it serves no purpose...
It's too late to be playing around with labels and diagnoses, anyway.
The focus must be on corrupt points of control,
and We've forgotten that by design and intent and law the point of control is the People, via Congress.
The intent was to render the narcissist an inconvenience, at worst.
They're sure letting him play the rebel. Either it's wickedly brilliant as he's one of them, or it's embarrassingly stupid because no one believes their crap.
Er, some believe. Too many believe.
Hey, has Trump figured out who was dancing on 911 or what the 4th Amendment is yet? Just checking.
given that some thought, and i think he knows the correct answer but as they say, some things not ever said...
his action if electable will reveal the knowledge he can aspire to.
but for now, electable is the operative word.
constant headwinds and many to many blow by blow following retards soaking up stupidity that might even vote for da first cunt to the oval office. hurray, history, fucken-eh.
