    His ideas and ways of doing things seem to change on a regular basis lol

    I fully understand the comment about surrounding yourself with people who will effectively be in awe of you. They look up to you and you become a cult leader if you like. I think that is what has happened with DT - he has filled a vaccum created by the establishment and sees himself as fighting for the people. In reality, DT only looks after DT :)

    Exactly, and he has had the $ to buy coverage even when no one was interested in the man that was doing everything he could to try to be in the Hollywood circle etc. He has always been a bit of a joke and contrary to his claims, his TV reality show "the apprentice" failed because of him. Actually liked the first season but you could see the cracks as time went on and i was bored by the second/third season and was not all interested in listening to his stories that always seemed to revolve around him relaying how great this one or that one thought he was lol. The celebrities were there to make $ for their charities so they had to tolerate him and his goofy stories but the viewers didn't + celebrity line up wasn't even that great! Although, i did tune in to see the initially non-celebrity Omarosa back on years down the road but 'the villain" was not as entertaining as she was the first time!!

    I think you have hit the nail on the head! DT is like one of those circus shows people get attracted to, once you have seen it you start to get bored and your interests starts to wane. Whether we like it or not, the go to position for all mass electorate around the world is back to the establishment. Then we start to moan about the establishment and the vicious circle starts again :)

    Well I have seen DT described as many things over the years but a circus act you get bored of :)

    Isnt it very sad that we all talk about him in this tone - brought on by his actions - even though he is probably the most powerful many in the world. What a strange strange man :)

    @Buyonthedips what you say is true and really is sad ! Kind of feel sorry for him b/c he clearly has some unhealthy psychological issues but he just reflecting what is going on for the majorities in this world too imo... and i say this as an alternative health practitioner that tends to think/see things in an outa of the box way :)
