>>212691489>is because he offered a platform no actual established politicians wereBecause all of the established politiciand were too compromised from the Bush and Obama eras to make the 'reform candidate, narrative work so they scouted someone new. He effectively used the reform narrative to subvert the alt-right and re-merge it with the mainline RNC. He did BTFO the Clintons and remaining neo-conservatives pretty well, but they'd already served their purpose and gotten their money.
The past 6 months have actually been impressive in terms of him following through on campaign promises compared to his first term, but I suspect this progress will be dismantled within the next 3 years.
But I'm a schizo so maybe I'm just projecting.
