Ben Carson admits that Donald Trump is running a con
If you’re like me, you’ve suspected all along that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was a calculated con job. I’ll grant, reluctantly, that he may actually want to be president, but it was always clear that Trump’s rhetoric was disingenuous. This is what makes him uniquely odious. An earnest bigot or fear-monger is bad enough, but one who feigns and incites bigotry for purely self-interested reasons is a special kind of nuisance. And that’s exactly who and what Trump is: a shameless salesman, an insincere Howard Beale playing the part of populist folk hero, whipping up hate and violence along the way.
