My big worry is that the corporate elites who are funding him believe that he is such a buffoon that they can manipulate him and his fanatical lumpenproletariat base to get what they want (more tax breaks, less regulation, more monopoly, easier exploitation of workers, fat contracts, etc.) But they may find, as German elites discovered in 1933, that because of his toxic charisma and worshipful following among the brainless, resentful white masses, he'll have the power to manipulate these billionaires, rather than vice versa, and establish a total fascist dictatorship displacing our democracy altogether. Watch for show trials next, and public executions of "commies" who oppose him...
