Who and What Trump Truly Is

[ifrtbttrflys]

by David Marcus, a New Yorker who seems to understand his neighbor well:

...we have to realize that first and foremost, Donald Trump is a New York real estate guy. The Museum of the City of New York currently has an exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the zoning code. In 1906, it was 12 pages long. Today, it is over 1,200 pages long. I’ve occasionally joked that when my six-year-old plays with Legos here in New York, if he builds anything over three feet high, he needs to get a zoning variance.

This is government regulation that Trump has spent a career successfully navigating. And that is no mean feat. But he didn’t do it by sticking to principles: he did it by giving money to all sides, and developing access to and influence over political power. His attitude has been less the classic conservative mantra of “get government out of the way,” and more “get government on my side.”

Now he is promising to get the government on the side of the American people. He promises to be a great deal maker. That can get messy. Using personal relationships with CEOs or foreign leaders can start to look like corruption. That kind of political patronage is second nature in New York, but not something the rest of the country is always as tolerant of.

A true political neophyte nonetheless, America most likely has never known a more naturally talented, political philosophy-unprincipled President than the one who begins his übercrony capitalist reign January 20. How long will it be before the saying, The Fed can't even print enough money to keep up with what Trump wants becomes common?

Capice?
