The ‘force of nature’ against the ‘system’

When doors close and no one listens, even my most liberal or center-left American colleagues predict that Republican candidate Donald Trump will win the next US election. Obviously they don't want it. But they see that Trump acts like a "force of nature" as he gathers around him a massive audience that treats him much like the members of a sect treat their leader. It doesn't bother them that he has been convicted by a court, talks about an athlete's genitals, or if behaves in a somewhat paranoid way on stage. He is their hero, the man who guarantees that an "old America" they long for will not be lost. The leader who will end the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East with a phone call. They also don't care if he talks to Russian President Vladimir Putin or makes flattering references to Adolf Hitler every now and then. They couldn't care less, they attribute all this to the "system"...
