Stupid but smart enough to become president of the united states twice and the most powerful man in the world. Beware something evil this way comes.

Just saw that movie again after many years. The comparisons are startling.

It was a book by Jerzy Kosinski. I remember thinking it was sort of humorous in an "it could never happen" kind of way. I was very young.

Plenty of help. Just ask Smuk and the Kremlin.

He is the beneficiary of some disturbing and fortuitous (for him) phenomena: years of GOP resentment-seeding bullshit, latent racism and misogyny in America, undereducated voters, gullibility, a contrived TV show, and let's not forget Russian interference and the strong possibility that he is a Russian asset and has been for decades.

I think the polls showing 47% approval are done by Russia. If not, we are doomed!

Doc- I think the most significant issue is that last factor you mentioned. Russia saw a useful idiot in 1987 and they have been working to get him to where he is now.
