He is a rude and crude person. He speaks like a Queens real estate guy on a construction site. And because he does not have good manners, he thoughtlessly breaks the rules with which the Left has sought to muzzle those who disagree with them. In this regard, I frequently compare Trump to Randle Patrick McMurphy, the loudmouthed, ill-mannered roustabout from Ken Kesey\u2019s brilliant novel <em>One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest<\/em>. McMurphy comes into an insane asylum controlled by a pleasant, smiling nightmare of a head nurse named Ratched. Nurse Ratched, while pretending to be the soul of motherly care, is actually a castrating, silencing tyrant. Her rules of good manners, supposedly fashioned for the benefit of all, are really a system of mental slavery. All of McMurphy\u2019s salient character flaws suddenly become heroic in the context of her oppression. Only his belligerent ignorance of what constitutes good behavior can overturn the velvet strangulation of her rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">For Nurse Ratched, read Hillary Clinton, CNN, the <em>New York Times<\/em>, Yale University, Twitter, and Google\/YouTube\u2014all the tender ministers of polite silence and enforced dishonesty. If Donald Trump\u2019s boorishness crashes like a bull through the crystal madhouse of their leftism\u2014well, good.
