I do. I think he's a self-serving piece of ****.
Rich people do not care about their country. They aren't that stupid. They do recognize "patriotism" is an effective control mechanism.
The ruling class define themselves by class division, but they encourage the masses to define themselves by nationhood. But it is a certain type of "patriotism" mostly involving the killing of other races and nations. You are a patriot if you want to kill arabs. However, if you are concerned about the tens of thousands dieing from guns or lack of afforable health care this is not "patriotism".
You only have to hang around these people for a short while to work out what the truth is. I am virtually certain that Trump would be extremly insulting about the working classes that voted for him in private-it is a universal characteristic of this type of person. They are fundamentally useless people-they have to develop a "divine right of rule" philosophy in order to justify their own existence.
