Populism in America is cyclical. President Andrew Jackson fought banks; politician William Jennings Bryan fought barons; Louisiana Gov. and then Sen. Huey Long fought inequality; Trump fights systems of every stripe. His crusade is part grievance and part gospel, speaking to a republic that distrusts its own elite institutions and their caretakers. Trump excels at stretching politics into follow-through performance. After all, who else would dare prepend his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and the U.S. Institute of Peace in real time.

Trump’s evangelical supporters remind us that the great men of old were seldom polished and never perfect. Moses killed, yet led his people to freedom. David sinned, yet ruled with vision. Paul persecuted, yet became the greatest apostle. Scripture teaches that imperfection often precedes purpose, and greatness is rarely graceful. The Christian faithful rely on these proverbial lessons when explaining their loyal and unapologetic allegiance to such a coarse Christian. Unlike Elijah, it will be impossible to take up his mantle.
Adonis… no amount of ass kissing will make him notice you, you’re best to move on to find someone who will give you attention. Unless you give him lots of money, presenting yourself to him won’t make him love you back.
Actually, large parts of Trump’s cabinets in both presidencies were random bloggers and commentators. Not even rich or famous ones, just whoever kissed his ass well enough.
The only attention Adonis will get from Trump is the latter noticing the color of his skin and sending him to some third-world country’s prison system.
