Continues? I think the true wank just started.
I'd consider the AIP winning basically a majority of elections in this threads' wikiboxes to be a true wank.
But lawd forbid if it has just started...
I think so, this AIP Trump looks crazy. He's starting to seem like this timeline's Rumsfeld.
I'm still adamant that the Trump of TTL is a caricature of OTL Trump. Trump circa 1990 was not a ('paleo-')conservative; he was a socially liberal, pretty interventionist and a critic of Reagan's economic policy.
I continue to enjoy this TL - but I just can't see Trump as this sort of character - especially this early.

The POD was in 1964, there's plenty of time for Trump to have acquired a different ideology.
Yet no one else's ideology has appeared to have changed in that period.
No major character depicted has ever had such radically different ideals going through their life. Trump used to talk in favor of universal healthcare and seems opposed to whoever is in power. What would happen if there were more Kennedys who tried and failed to put healthcare in place?
Yeah, but this is a just a bit more crazy considering he's implied wanting to go to war with the USSR.
I don't think he was ever a liberal - he was a segregationist, for instance. He wasn't the The America We Deserve Trump in 1988; he only became it in the 90s.
The thing about Trump is that he doesn't have any strongly held beliefs at all. He held every political position ever during at least one point in his lifetime, and at times, a quantum state of political positions (like with abortion). He is basically that politician that alters his views to whatever is popular. So, you could write Trump in any way you want.
Is that in relation to that claim he discriminated against blacks in housing...?
I mean, Byrd changed his ways to the point he even voted for the Civil Rights Act. Trump clearly did not.
Trump's father belonged to the Klan, at least that's what I heard.
