Trump, the self-centered fool, is trolling everyone *and hard* to tear down the establishment. Just like he said he would. He just doesn't come at you straight on as you would expect. And despite appearing brittle and reactionary, he just doesn't care as long as it furthers his agenda. Is he smart? Lots of ways to define that. Most of them, no. Is he wise? Hahahaha! Is he winning? By every measure, yes.
I do think he has a vision of what the world should be and he's going for it full throttle. It's completely anti-establishment but is willing to use it to get what he wants. And that's why the establishment is destroying itself to get rid of him.

It’s not a non sequitur. I get that some people are impressed by instrumental language. A little fascist in everyone?
If the purveyors of your facts aren’t credible, your beliefs aren’t credible.
Really? What’s he winning? Are you winning by calling him a winner?
He's execrable. A human piece of toxic waste. We're supposed to hate him. Meanwhile, North and South Korea are talking, and unbeknownst to most, there's a plan to re-integrate North Korea by extending the OBR initiative through the peninsula. When was the last time there was any movement on North Korea??? Besides all the bombast, Trump has flat out said that he could work with Kim, and that they'd probably get along. How is that not winning!? What did Bush or Obama do that comes close to that achievement?
He's a billionaire and an insider, so yeah. He's going to screw with the economy to make his friends richer. And a whole bunch of other non-progressive crap.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the system is failing and the American empire will come to an end, probably soon. That could easily end with a nuclear war. I'd rather have the orange fuzz ball piss everyone off, but steer things towards a softer landing. That means resolving Korea, Palestine, and holding off the establishment long enough that America can join Russia/China in an integrated Europe-Asia rather than dying while trying to defeat it.
Throughout all the juvenile poo slinging, this is what he's been consistent about in his messaging. I believe these are his actual goals, and I think he's willing to kill some sacred cows and get people riled up to achieve that.
It's kind of like Lance and Johan deciding they might as well win. They're human pieces of filth, but I'm not sure I'd bet against them either.
