Same rhetoric, policies, party, etc.
Would he even make it pass “grab em by the p****” in 2016?
No, considering his followers are white supremacists.
Everyone would be shocked and outaged. The only reason why Trump is successful is because people see him as one of them (for some reason).
No, but the idea that any random white guy could get away with what Trump gets away with is also laughable. Since 2016 there have been a million and one politicians trying to act Trumpian, and none of them enjoyed the nearly success Trump has.
For reasons beyond my comprehension, Trump seems to have this larger than life persona that has allowed him to escape scandal after scandal that would doom literally any other politician.
As a fun sidenote, look up DC Mayor Marion Barry. Dude made Trump look pedestrian.
Who is Herman Cain? A black man who lost to Romney in the Republican primary. He was a tea party candidate who faced accusations of harrassment and infidelity. He also quoted a song from the Pokemon movie in speeches because he didn’t realize it was not an original song by Donna Summer.
Aren’t most of his current supporters racist enough to not support him if he was so ?
I don’t think the klan votes black.
Of course not.
He wouldn’t have made it this far in life
Ha ha no
Not as a Republican.
Are you kidding? One of the big attractions of Trump is to prove the shittiest white man can beat a qualified black woman.
He’d have evicted himself out of his own houses and then run an ad campaign to have himself executed for a murder he didn’t commit long before he entered politics properly.
I’m not sure anyone can explain the particular confluence of characteristics that makes TFG relatively immune from consequence. Change any one thing and he’s suddenly not him, so he loses his unique appeal.
This 🔝
Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.
It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.
I was gonna reply that Hermain Cain was probably the “Black Donald Trump”, but I looked it up and Cain actually had success in his business ventures. He also was only married once.
Impossible to say. He certainly wouldn’t have been a real estate icon in the 80s and would probably not have been born a silver spoon trust fund baby.
