An Alternative Take on Donald Trump and Company

Let me remind everyone that the reason we are all so intensely confused by the President’s actions are because much like the election itself, this whole thing has not been a political issue, but a hostile business take-over via a political coup.

The energy of our current political climate and that of a hostile corporate take-over — is identical.

The President has said from the beginning that he isn’t a politician, he’s a business man. And he’s living up to one of his only honest moments.

Middle America, this is how huge corporations operate. They take over aggressively by blindsiding boards with misrepresented facts, then walk in and fire all the people working there within the first week with the goal of putting in their own people.

Pink slip week — it’s a big business thing.

While the new business is changing the guard, they undo policy of the former corporation that they took over and re-do the policy dramatically, in their image. This is also called marking your territory, or “peeing on the tree” in honor of the masculine marking ritual.

I find the article interesting because it offers another way of looking at the situation. What about you?
