The normalisation of Donald Trump


And how the extreme became the mainstream...



Marwan Bishara is correct. Americas media outlets are trying to,  continue to try to make Donald Trump seem presidential when he clearly is not.  Since capturing the Republican nomination back in May America's media and its pundits have vainly sought to normalize Donald Trump. Make him seem presidential as if he could ever have been a normal candidate or even presidential.   

Donald Trump isn't capable of being presidential. Why?  He's needy, insecure, lacks self confidence, a racist, xenophobic, a religious bigot, a nativist and has authoritarian beliefs.   Then there is the criticism that comes with being a political candidate and if elected a being the representative of a nation. When criticized Donald Trump lashes out unable to control his emotions.  If a world leader criticizes him will his reaction be a twitter rant or a war? There's no way of knowing that until he's already crossed the rubicon and then it will be too late.
