Interesting and unfortunately true. From his first (big time) public exposures I was wary of this fellow’s glibness and of what might lurk underneath – yet the response of the media and, unfortunately, of the public is more appaling for me. During the Nov/Dec campaign in mid-west people simply went medieval, crawling on their knees in rain, mud and sleet, lamenting, arms extended – the man of hope is here! He can heal scrofules and hemorhoids with only a touch/stare! Economy, war, global heating, he can fix them all! Totally Cantenbury Tales, and indeed scary – it shows how fragile democracies are and that it is not that impossible for a slick operator to nest himself in a social crevice opened by a national crisis then bloom, and this in US, not in Ruritania or who knows where!
However, I think (hope) that his tongue will un-do him – too many alarming things have began to grow around mister Glib’ama.
