they loved him and he loved them. they turned to enemies at the exact point, that he started to run as an outsider and a populist. it is curious.

Unless of course you view a change in views or revelatory information, then not so much. Like Bill Cosby. He was popular once. :D

i guess i don't view it as revelatory as much as just interesting. the cosby accusations didn't serve to back up how he was presenting himself to be.

Exactly. The person he was then has not changed. Listening to the jokes, it was about his ego, sex life, etc. It wasn't like he was known to be a humble and chaste guy and turned out to be a serial rapist.

agreed. the one thing that did change was he wanted to present as the outsider against the establishment.

But he was even then. Consider by that point he had long been speaking out against Obama and questioning his birthplace, and Trump was most effective politically as a member of the Reform Party.

was that prior to 2011, when he was still loved by the establishment media and ate it all up?

Yes. Trump will always accept adoration. In 2000, he wrote:

"Let’s face it, if I run it will be a boon to the political cartoonists and late-night talk-show hosts. But I can take it."

I started reading his book. Really, it is the same guy other than his love for Oprah back then. Very tough on crime, drugs, and illegal aliens. Wanting to renegotiate bad trade deals, etc. He was also an advocate for uncoupling healthcare from employment, and offering universal access to insurance, which is something I have long supported. Sadly, I think Obamacare and Democrat lies kill that possibility.

every politician and president has different things they want to accomplish and see done, everyone wants to make their mark and has their own vision. not everyone is held as a pariah, to serve his image. i guess we'll have to wait to see how he's treated and how he treats the establishment after his term is done, then.

Keep waiting for all those struggling with life and supporting the establishment to understand the establishment is a reason they struggle.

By most definitions, I am not struggling, to be honest. All I ask for is equal opportunity and safety.

no, i never said you were struggling. supporting the establishment and being a success are not mutually exclusive.

I was telling you why I would lend my support that way. In contrast, economic and social inequality are often highlighted by those advocating for black people, but they keep voting Democrat. It is the political equivalent of throwing a person an anchor while they are struggling to swim.
