But this is just another example of Trump's marketing machine reheating a successful GOP move from decades past.  Ronald Reagan was a union leader Hollywood elite who was on his second marriage but he embraced the evangelicals and spread the narrative that evil dictators loved to kick around Jimmy Carter but would be terrified of the star of Bedtime for Bonzo if he were in office.

Now we are looking to a reality TV star and his kids and their spouses to protect us from China.  You couldn't make this stuff up.  Maybe it is all logical and I'm the insane one.  I wonder if I'll live long enough for the Kardashians to protect me from the rest of the planet.


EDIT - And to show that liberals do it too I'll point out my cynical amusement that Obama is seen as some ultra-cool liberal god but the guy accepted a nobel prize for bombing the shit out of 3rd world countries.  Obama...ultra nice guy who was such a great peacenick that liberals loved him and conservatives were terrified he was going to get us all killed with his flower power.  Ah but loudmouth Trump is such a badass no one would dare mess with him.  Meh...MEH I say.

I believe that every Prez should stand up for America and put America first.  They should look at foreign policy and ask how does this help/hurt America and act accordingly.  I understand this can get complex depending on the situation.

I don't think Trump is "The guy", but I do believe every Prez should put us first and hold other Countries accountable if need be.

I do believe China is the biggest threat we face and I want a Prez who will stand up to them.  I believe China's leaders are ruthless and will do just about anything to place itself number 1 on the world stage.
