MINOR: @realDonaldTrump the recreated P.T. Barnum

BILL MINOR: Trump’s scariest tack is with Putin

P.T. Barnum, who is credited with saying “a sucker is born every minute” is alive and well, we learned on Nov. 8.

The long-dead master showman has been recreated in the person of Donald J. Trump…

…This is not to say everybody who voted for Trump was a sucker, but based on my long experience closely following political campaigns nationally as well as state level, I’ve never seen anyone to compare with the “Pied-Piperish” appeal made by Donald Trump. My first thought post-election is that there are going to be thousands of people disappointed when he can’t deliver on his lavish promises.
