You know I'm with you on this one! I agree that Trump does the heel stuff pretty well, but maybe he's more of a tweener. I think that dynamic is something a lot of political operatives missed. He's a rich guy, but his gimmick in 2016 was that "I alone can fix it" because he'd been on the inside giving money to Democrats and Republicans for years. It'd be like if Ted DiBiase said he was gonna take down Vince McMahon or something. "Yeah, I'm a heel, but my opponent? Wow, my opponent is a worse heel but she / he won't admit it." In polisci terms, he won over the voters who disliked him and Clinton, as a for instance.
Thanks for offering a great explanation of why my World War II army dad watched wrestling. The only part I liked as a child was when they counted to 10 and someone didn’t stand up. Isn’t it time for Trump to be counted out???

I think this idea has been explored so often that this borders on plagiarism. Matt Taibbi wrote a whole book on the topic.
Well written piece here, but highly unoriginal with no credit given. Just a rehash with updates for some recent US bourgeois politics
Biden’s genius is that, like millions of others, he ignores it all and goes about his job. Ultimately, voters respect that.
I hope that dog appreciates he has a very good life!
