The candidate with a lunatic of aides.

Shortly after Donald Trump announced, John Niven wrote in the Scottish Daily Record & Sunday Mail (21 June 2015) that it was hard to believe and frightening to contemplate that it might not be so hard to believe or sufficiently frightening for us on this side of the pond.  After all it might not bother us so much that Trump hired actors to play cheerleaders at his campaign launch, to help broaden his “grassroots support”:

Allegations are circulating that many in attendance were actors who responded to a casting call and were paid 50 bucks a head to come down and cheer Trump.

New York-based agency Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to their list of background actors, seeking extras to boost attendance at Trump’s event.

Apparently their email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, said: “We are looking to cast people for the event to wear T-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement. This is not a traditional ‘background job’ but we believe acting comes in all forms.”

Ironically, this is exactly what America would become if Trump was to become president – a cast of extras following a lunatic around. [Though after he’s elected wearing suits and ties or starched blouses, like a “lunatic” of aides following a congressman.]

Of course, this would all simply be hysterically funny if we didn’t have to return to what I meant earlier by saying I [had] mixed feelings about Trump’s candidacy for the position of world’s most powerful leader.

There’s the tiny problem that we’re dealing with a country that not only elected Ronald Reagan but now thinks he was one of the greatest presidents in history. A country that elected not one but two George Bushes. A country now considering going again with a third Bush. That’s right – a country so deranged that Trump could actually win the bloody thing.
