It's unelected bureaucrats who make policies on behalf of large corporations in the form of giant omnibus bills that nobody reads. Marty and Mikey aren't wrong in that Trump was ill-equipped to stop them. That said, who is? It's a nigh impossible task. Trump has exposed it through sheer stubbornness, which should be a boon to the entire nation if moderate and independents could properly fixate their ire. Until the majority of us fall in line and start putting our foot down, this corruption will not end. Is Trump the man to do it? I'm not sure. He's Toto, though. He's pulling back the curtain. Conservatives are going through an eye-opening of sorts. Until the Mikey's and Marty's start seeing it, we need more Trumps. Not less.

And that's all I want from my elected officials.. To pull back the curtain and show the people what's really going on. Until that happens, we'll always be tribalistic with our affiliated parties. No one side can trust the other as both sides have been criminal. Trump may be an unpopular candidate on this board, but he's the only one that started to pull back that curtain of deceitfulness.
