I agree that you have a point about saying the unsayable. That's why I loved Derek and Clive so much as a teenager.

I honestly don't know why Trump got away with it. Maybe because it's part of his anti-politician persona.

Replace "free trade" with "fair trade"

Tell Ford Motor Co.'s president that unless he cancels plans to build a massive plant in Mexico, the company will face a 35 percent tax on cars imported back into the United States

On his first day in office, Trump would get rid of gun-free zones at military bases and in schools

Deport the almost 11 million immigrants illegally living in the United States

Target and kill the relatives of terrorists.

Get rid of Obamacare

The Environmental Protection Agency might disappear

Build a wall along the southern border, and make Mexico pay for it.

I think you're right on his anti politician persona. And re schoolchildren, in case I muddled up meanings - I didn't mean Trump's supporters are like schoolchildren, I don't think that at all, I was equating the amusement factor that is being obtained from his tirades to being the same schoolchildren get. Nothing funnier than a good swearathon at times.

In addition to FR's list wasn't Trump saying no Muslims would be allowed to enter the US? Except Sadiq Khan of course. Is that still 'policy'?

Ah, according to the Independent, that bit of policy disappeared from his website the day of the election

Another quote "The most qualified candidate in a generation was defeated by the least qualified of all time. That is what misogyny looks like, and, like all bigotries, it will end up dragging us all down."

It seems that being kind and reasonable in out, narcissism and nasty is in.
