I too fear that contained in this article, and in the above video, is the essence of Trump and his followers. I also fear that Kasparov in his important work in the last years is outlining what Americans need to do, become aware of the evil that is growing in our country, and fight it, just as the Ukrainians did.
I don't think the Republican Party has the courage to fight Trump, they are too focused on the bones that he is tossing them in the way of stealing health care from the poor to give tax breaks to the rich. They seem to think they can just play with the devil and tame him to be a good partner. Perhaps those still alive in ten years will wake to find themselves in a Putinesque America, where words like democracy and human rights are used, but only as a smokescreen for the oligarchy. Hard to see how to fight when democracy itself is the tool used to defeat freedom.
Yes, Trump's press conference was the perfect example of a dog whistle Presidency.
