So both w and otwink were idiots - let's see if trump makes it 3rd
From the article I posted:
Early on in the campaign, in 2015, a senior Arab diplomat told me, on condition of anonymity, that Trump had informed most of the Gulf governments, in private, that his anti-Muslim and anti-Arab rhetoric was “all for the campaign” and that it would be business as usual once he was elected (or, for that matter, defeated).
Fair to say it will probably be a hat trick.
