This guy is, at base, a fuckhead:

"Trump is a grand thinker and visionary..."

"Trump is one of those classic big-thinkers who is all vision and no completion, all ambition, no follow-through..."

Admittedly, he has (wrong) things to say about the nature and etiology of Trump's failings and incapacities, but the basic truth is that to view Trump as some kind of 'visionary big-thinker' marks you out as an absolute fruit-cake. Trump's alleged inspirations are like Hitler's: simply the gas that comes out of a personality so profoundly damaged that it uses words in the same arbitrary and impulsive way that a toddler uses fingerpaints.

Why do so many of the alternative commentariat pay for their insights with nutcase allegiances to Trump, Thatcher, climate-denial, Farage, etc?
