I ll tell you what s up. Or, better yet, here is Francis X. Clines in the New York Times , succinctly summing up the meaning and motive behind the Trump presidential bandwagon. Don t you believe it.
Trump is deadly serious.
No, it isn t meant as an April fool s joke these days, Donald Trump, playboy entrepreneur and casino owner, is a man with a mission. They enjoy The Donald acting like The Don. Patrick J. Buchanan is the point. Surely this is some surrealistic nightmare, in which the evolution of the presidential candidate as movie star and politics as public spectacle has reached its grotesque zenith. Trump, in effect, became the company bagman, handing out contributions to politicians in return for favorable treatment for the family's holdings.
