Trump, the triumph of the showman

Main discussion topics:

  • Trump is a marketing figure, which should not be analyzed as a politician
  • He is not crazy, he is not of right, nor pro-Russian, nor anti-Mexican. He is an opportunist who wants to put his name in all his buildings, real or virtual
  • Trump is a product of United States television. "Made in USA". The comparisons with Chavez, Berlusconi, Hitler, Maduro are not appropiate
  • His electoral success was to revive the middle-class white man
  • His government is less chaotic than it seems
  • Markets, surveys, and press ratings show Trump's reality
  • The media benefits from Trump's hatred
