Well, what were going to see from donald trump is more populism, more raw nationalism. Thats the influence of steve ban man who was running bright the Republican Base is.

We are, as you know, roughly 80 days away from the general election. A number of states start early voting two or three weeks from now, if im not mistaken. Is this the kind of move that a confident campaign makes . Its a move of adi really, at this moment to the presidency, is to have an aggressive approach in the media and in swing states.
