I'm sure this has already been posted, but it still boggles the mind how the working class Republican base fall for shit like this every single time.

It may be amusingly obvious us, but it evidently isn't to huge swathes of the American public. That like Romney and Bush before him, Trump can mount a serious run for President with no other credentials than his presumed business acumen, without anyone daring to point out what a big steaming pile of misnomeric bollocks that is, surely highlights a problem? Not least with the media. That all three can, and did masquerade as the great white hope of the American Dream (
™) when their actual achievements merely ranked somewhere between '
maintaining' and '
not fecking up' their vast inherited empires of Scrooge McDuck-like wealth, would be impressive if it weren't so terrifyingly daft. Bush can even boast the added coup of pranking half the country into believing the spoiled problem child of a political dynasty was a salt of the earth cowboy, merely by playing a sitcom idiot and occasionally wearing a big hat.
All the while the genuine American Dream (
™) narrative of the publicly educated, ethnic and gender disadvantaged Obama and Clinton are seen as elitist anathemas to the welfare of the good old, hard working, capitalist loving regular Joe.
At least our Conservatives know they can't get away with such fantastical spin. They might throw out an empty liberal platitude now and then, but even D-Cam knows he can't paint himself as a meritocratic success, let alone a working class hero, without looking like Peter Capaldi's Dr Who, dressed up in a hoody and ray bans by a desperate demographic chasing BBC exec.
