He seems to have successfully tailored his rhetoric and campaign around it.

Recently, Donald Trump has really profited from claims of a rigged system, and he’s profited from the rigged system itself. … Continue Reading

To be fair to Trump, it is true that life really is unfair sometimes.… Continue Reading
