what do you mean by strong-man pattern?

The protests besides being #fucktrump is also #whitewon. As if Trump
voters needed more fuel! Were they so surprised that half the country
actually turned out the be unhappier and angrier than they are? 'Lets go
retake that mantle!' - The Revolutionary known as Katy Perry

Yes, when the new American Revolution comes along, it will be lead by
pop singers.

I'm kind of worried that the 'race war' will take front row instead of
the neoliberal vs republicans

I didnt know about the Nassim Taleb bit and Goldman Sachs bit! But I'd
imagine it is thus. I would imagie Trump doesnt need to take cash from
anyone, he's going to do business as usual.
