Donald Trump

I’ve had dreams about most of recent Presidents, certainly from Clinton on, dreams which made sense to me.  I dreamed about Donald Trump last night, and my impression is that his mind is actually preoccupied with solving problems.  Real problems.  He really does think like a CEO. That does not make him perfect–obviously–but it does make it concerned with measurable results, and quite capable of demanding accountability and performance from people.

Here is a factor to consider: as a billionaire, capable of spending less than a third of his fortune and still outspending the Clintons, he is positioned, uniquely, to do without Wall Street.  For their part, they must view his present ascendancy with dismay, because he doesn’t need to be bought.

If we want a true qualitative outlier in the White House I think Trump may be our best bet.  My gut tells me that despite the honesty and capability of other candidates–I would be fine with Rand Paul, my favorite, Ben Carson or Ted Cruz, or Scott Walker–that the finances of Jeb Bush will finally decide the nomination.  The most money tends to win.

Our country is fucked up.  It can be brought down any time a power elite decides to do it.  We don’t need those beholden to, or members of, the power elite in the White House.  Barring sanity, we need chaos, in the sense of shattering all the old illusions and imbecilic consensuses about how to run a government.
