(GEORGE CURRY MEDIA)—Friday, Donald Trump, the demagogue masquerading as a politician, got his wish.
After nearly a year of racist jibes against Americans of color and those of other nations, and goading supporters to harass and assault the few protesters who showed up at his rallies, Trump used the presence of a sizable throng of protesters at his planned rally in Chicago to cancel the event moments before it was to begin.
Why was that Trump’s wish?
For one thing, Trump will use the swirling controversy over the grassroots protests likely to shadow his rallies from now on to continue to avoid offering a coherent discussion of domestic- and foreign-policy issues beyond one-liner boasts followed by “and it’ll be great! People will love it!”
