From a 1999 CNN interview with Donald Trump.

Trump is a slippery one. He seems to be doing well in the polls as a self made man of inherited wealth and government bailouts the perfect foil for someone like Sanders. I've only seen clips of his show so I don't know his full public persona, but he seems like a general election loser when the gloves come off.
Whenever I hear his voice I get Rush lyrics stuck in my head. ...echoes with the sound of salesmen

He makes my skin crawl. Dead eyes, man.

Trump is only there to draw votes away from the other guy(s). He's a decoy.

Trump *will* draw votes, and they'll be from somebody, but I don't believe he's a decoy. He's a narcissist and a filthy rich one at that. His is a vanity campaign, and he's winning every day we're talking about him. That's totally worth it to him. As a person who would govern our nation, he has nothing going for him, he's a clown. But *that* race isn't happening now, this is all about other stuff, like attention.

I think this line's mostly filler.

I love the theory that Trump is a Democratic plant. Apparently someone can pretend to be the worst the Republican Party has to offer, a narcissistic, racist, anti-intellectual, warmongering blowhard, and win in the polls.
It's like a relative of Poe's Law.

A relative of Poe's Law? I think it's an example of Poe's Law.
hm. No, not exactly. Trump's real, he's not a parody. But there are people who sincerely believe he's a legitimate candidate, and he's not. He's got practically nothing that a legitimate candidate needs to be legitimate. He is entertaining to watch though, kind of like those short videos where the young, dumb people do ill-advised things that end badly, but not fatally. I can hardly stand to watch some of them, just like Trump. **shiver**

He claims to be "the most militarist person in the room". That rings the bell for a lot of radio talk show listeners.

It says how many of us have now converted from patriotic American moderates to anti-American extremists.
