Trump? A populist? Who knew?

Real estate hoarder for Jesus. Intellectual property kingpin. One time target of more than 5,000 mechanics liens. Has Trump turned on the wealthy? Nope.

Peggy Noonan at the Wall Street Journal had very hopeful and nice things to say about the Republican Party. She actually believes that the GOP has become a populist, working class party. We know for sure that the Democrat party is not by the way they decide who to bail out, but the GOP? I don’t think so.

Noonan knows the deception well. She writes for the Wall Street Journal. She has nothing to say about how the top 1% took $50 trillion from the poor and the working class over the last 40 years. She is absolutely sure that the GOP has turned a corner. From her article, “Republican National Convention Is a Trumpian Triumph”:

We saw something epochal: the finalization and ratification of a change in the essential nature of one of the two major political parties of the world’s most powerful nation. It is now a populist, working-class, nationalist party. That is where its sympathies, identification and affiliation lie. There will be shifts, stops and accommodations in the future, no party ever has a clear line, history intervenes, but it is changed, and there will be no going back.
