Being anti-establishment is one thing IF Trump could change the Establishment. But he won't, and can't, and is only interested in the Donald Trump brand. So while I understand the appeal of a non-Washington politician running things DONALD TRUMP is not the guy for the job.

Once people realize this we're fucked, of course. LOL
No, Trump isn't the answer. But it's a start, and the best option out of the cards you've been dealt. Trump disrupted the status quo for a bit, and that hasn't happened as long as i or you've been alive.

About him being corrupt: Maybe. Maybe he has done some shady things for his businesses, like putting money on tax beneficial islands. But that's what every single person with a lot of money does, from persons to multinationals, and it's not illegal.

His alleged corruption pales in comparison to the corruption of the average Washington career politician, which is always at the expense of citizens. Illegal wars, "interventions" and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Those kind of things are in a whole other league, and are actually damaging to the world.
