If he was Joe Q Public he'd just be another conspiracy nut.  Instead his words carry weight.

And he personality is such that his words underlie what his behaviors will be. 

This is what is so unique and strange about Trump.  Ronald Reagan never said that he should be president for life and Walter Mondale didn't go into the 84 election saying "Of course Reagan is going to win, he's cheating" and so on.  This notion that our democratic system that we claim to love so much is just a fraud-riddled pile of crap didn't rear its ugly head until recently.

It's just disheartening to hear a presidential candidate/president spend so much time and use so much of his power to lament that this country doesn't just have a ruling class like it did before we fought for our independence.  It almost boggles the mind.
