About a year out from the presidential elections now. So, why is Trump still on top of the polls? It may be because he is nationalist, and that is the anti-dote to globalism.
Globalism is the belief that unlimited free trade will make everybody happy and bring on world peace.
The problem with that is that it makes corporations very happy and very powerful, and these same corporations gain too much power and influence over society. International corporatism is as bad as international communism. In fact, the two go together like hands in gloves. No wonder then, that a socialist wins in Canada, that we've got a communist in the White House, and Bernie Sanders seems so popular. People are reacting to the corporatism by voting for Big Government to go against it.
My theory on Trump is that he doesn't rely upon corporatism for his wealth, so he can fight with them on even terms. He can give voice to those who still care about the country and haven't gone mad searching for the latest trade deal. People will believe Trump when he says he will look out after America's interests. He isn't bought and paid for by the corporate elite.
So Trump should win. So-called GOP conservatives should be happy because they have probably got a winner, but since the corporations are not happy with Trump, they must try to take Trump down. It probably won't work, but these people shouldn't be underestimated.
If Trump doesn't win, then a socialist will.
