>>"embrace of conventional Populism reaches deep into American character"

John Copp, that's theatre. That's fake concern. Trump cares ONLY about himself. Lots of people get suckered by sweet words. That's what happened with Obama. Obama was all about fake concern, fake hope, fake populism. Same with Trump.

These people say the words people want to hear, but there is no sincerety to them. These characters are NOT genuine. That's why they are called "populist" leaders - because they know how to pull the "heart-strings" and tap into the anxiety and fear prevalent in society - and take advantage of heightened emotions to manipulate public opinions.
