Trump the ultimate insider

We are all Trump’s chumps, it seems. He says he’s a political outsider; some say he’s the ultimate outsider. He and they are wrong.

Trump is the epitome of a high-stakes insider. He admits it when he touts all the money he has consistently given to politicians. Politicians cannot function without the money. The inside play cannot work without the money. The insider is the one who pays the politician.

Now Trump isn’t running to change sides, he would just be switching roles. Change the money system, forget the money changer. He isn’t the solution. He’s the problem.
