I've always wondered if this was the reason some of the ruling class hated Trump even though he stands for the same things they do, and this is confirmation. They are afraid that Trump will embolden the left by being so obvious a symbol of US incompetence and the failings of capitalism.
Yeah, Trump is like the physical embodiment of the entire western ruling class's sins
It like he's their portrait of Dorian Grey that was supposed to stay hidden away in the attic but now he's out in the open revealing just how vile the bourgeois really are
The obvious reaction to seeing this truth is is resurgence of the left
That is a good metaphor, and I'm going to use it more often.
