MAGA gets the Middle East treatment — and exposes why Republicans love Trump’s lavish lifestyle

Traditional wisdom was that if you wanted to become President of the United States, it is better to be Some ordinary people want to get a beer with. It is not that the Americans have never voted for the highest -class people. After all, the wealthy and distinguished presidents like Franklin Roosevelt and John P. Kennedy and George WW Bush He won the office. But there was always a certain echo of the idea that someone came from nothing, an ordinary man, who could rise to the top in America.

Think about Jimmy Carter, who grew up in the peanut farm, or Harry S. Truman, who was (failed) in his civil life. Richard Nixon grew up very poor. After all, we explicitly rejected the idea of ​​the aristocratic class and built our entire national myths about the idea that you can make something from yourself regardless of the circumstances of your birth. So we are naturally admired by those who embody this ideal. At least even disappoint you.

Ronald Reagan achieved a tremendous success as a person who originally came from the roots of the middle class from the Middle West, and then continued to become a very famous and wealthy actor, and he successfully designed the personality of an average man who achieved a royal position in celebrity America. But although Hollywood brought a sparkle to the White House, no one imagines that he is actual aristocrat.

But in 2000, when Texas was the governor of George W. Bush, who developed a kind of personality of every man wandering in the media and half of the country that found it incredibly charming, “made” “The man you want to get a beer“The usual description of what the Americans are looking for in a president. This was although Bush did not drink and that his lineage in the state of Connecticut returned to President Franklin Pears. He became an article of belief that unless the president was able to present himself as a man at home, he had no chance.

Vice President Al Gore and Senator John Kerry were tortured in the media, not being “real Americans” with a link with the ordinary man. Gore was filmed as a kind of strange robot and Kerry Treat like aristocratic aristocratic When he ordered what they thought it was Wrong sandwich Or drink Wrong drink. This “Gafffes” was considered deals, and regardless of the difficulty of trying to show their skills in mixing with ordinary voters, they were not given a quarter. If you do not have the magic of Beer Buddy, you have come out.

In 2008, the governor of Alaska, Sarah Balin, the governor of Alaska, who installed her with her good appearance and simple members in the countryside, appeared to be their dream. She had five children, one of whom was a baby, the evangelist was again, and they had a simple education (and he showed it) and was a producer that was fully formed for the right -wing radio style in the policy that was built for several decades. Steak was all about being a sound of the so -called real America, men in steel shoes and the women they loved. They lost the race, but something was unleashed.

Balin was an embodiment of the Republicans, and after a long period of this race, it was It is considered the first candidate to win the nomination In 2012, she left her job as a ruler to start Super Pac and appears before she loved the crowds, as she criticized the “lame media” and took all the big and small right grievances (“I want my straw! I want to be determined!”). She starred in her realistic program entitled “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” and began to live a high life. It was eventually thrown, but its moment in the spotlight has a major impact on the Republican Party. She had opened the door to Donald Trump.

Trump was largely the heir of the style that Balin created. He knew very little about the issues and was not interested in learning about them. But he explained all the grievances and boredom directly in the right -wing ID, which was preparing for years by the likes of Rush Limbagh. It was much better in that than it was.

But Trump had no allegations about being a common man. In 2016, it was clear:

Once again in 2015, He said Journalist Mark Lipovic:

“Jimmy Carter used to get off the air force with his luggage,” said Mr. Trump, smiling. “I don’t want a president with his luggage.” Mr. Trump believes that Mr. Trump sends the president to act as a kind of humble servant, a daily throat. He should be the imperial, supreme leader, and yes, superior. “I don’t want someone who will come with a large bag of underwear.”

In fact, he loves Trump’s Republican Party base because of his imperial methods outside the touch, which he makes more and more clear in this second chapter. For example, it is clear that he has no idea what every person in the country calls the store where they buy food and household supplies.

((He said it is dozens of times) If John Kerry said, he would have been strengthened for weeks.

he Decorating the Oval Office To look like the Las Vegas version from the Versailles Palace and run throughout the Middle East now Favorite world leaders flow to his colleagues -Sheiks rich in oil and calm-as if they were missing relatives for a long time. He tastes that they have larger planes, so he plans To accept “a gift” A flight is worth $ 400 million from his intimate friends in Qataris. A few influencers of Maga and politicians intercepted the Republican PartyBut Trump does not care. He runs his presidency as if he was a king who does not answer anyone. At this stage, it is not clear if it does.

So, no. Republican voters do not want a president who can get a beer. They never did. They eager to be subjects. Donald Trump understood this instinctive and gives them exactly what they always wanted.
