> [@Measure\_for\_Measure](#): > > Trump is a populist, more Huey Long than Adolph Hitler. I agree wholeheartly. Except the Kingfish actually was a politician (Governor of Louisiana) and actually had some minority (black) support, as he appealed mostly to the poor (and in the 1930’s we had quite a few of them). But yeah, Trump is strumming the ‘populist’ banjo and has people tapping their toes…but will they buy the album? ---
