Chomsky: Trump ‘kind of a con man’
Noam Chomasky says Trump bamboozled people.
Click here for reuse options!“He’s kind of a con man,” Chomsky said in an interview with the Pacific Standard. “He was able to say things to a sector of the population that, in a way, articulated their own concerns and feelings, and did it pretty effectively.”
“To what extent that reflects his own views, to the extent that he has views, is very hard to say.” he added, noting the president-elect parroted “anti-establishment,” anti-Wall Street rhetoric before hiring five former Goldman Sachs employees.
“He says he’s going to bring back jobs and coal and manufacturing,” Chomsky noted. “How’s he going to do that? By picking a secretary of labor who’s very anti-labor.”

I noticed that too, sadly. His latest comments add little to the obvious, at least the excerpts we usually find on news sites.

Sorry for having said that. I read the interview, he was much more eloquent. The article here badly represents the entirety of what he commented and suggested progressives should do.

Rusty Trombone. Learn something new everyday. Not all of those things can be discussed at the family dinner table, however…

” Kind of ” — YUUUUUUUUUGE understatement.
