We knew Trump was a con man, a grifter, a demagogue, gifted in the art of delivering applause lines and appealing to the bigots in his audience. Republicans, for their part, also new that his fairly solid 37% of the voters, when combined with the tribal loyalty of registered Republicans, plus the unmeasured, but obvious anti-Clinton vote, would likely put Trump over the top. What we didn’t know was what kind of leader Trump would make, how he would operate as President of the United States. Now we know. We should not be surprised. In his years as a real estate dealer and TV personality, Trump has been known to snooker a lot of people,(contractors, employees, vendors, etc.). We can now add to those victims the entire population of the United States of America. We have been snookered, big time!
