Dollar Don

Beneath the bluster and glitter, campaigns hint at the nature of a candidate's future governance.  We always knew that Trump would be bombastic, impulsive, and thin skinned.  But we never suspected that he intended to turn the White House into the home shopping network,

Victory speeches have hawked his buildings and golf courses.  His upcoming trip to Scotland and Ireland is not to meet with world leaders, but to promote his 18 holed wonders.  His attacks on the judge in the Trump University case is the most extreme example.  His past racist comments have at least been policy based, relating either to immigration or terrorism.  But impugning the objectivity of a judge because he is "Mexican," was about Trump's business interests.  Trump is  using his bully pulpit, as the presumptive nominee, to attack business opponents.  His presidency would be a 4 year infomercial.
