It's also the secret to why we need Trump so much today and the secret to why they're doing everything they can, why they tried to imprison him, why somebody tried to kill him, why they're pushing back as hard as they could. Look, Donald Trump is an anomaly to say the least. He's an enigma, especially to the left. He came along as someone who entered the scene at the top level, ran for president, was elected president.
