Do you remember the enigmatic comment Trump make during a photo cession, saying: "the calm before the storm"? no reporter got a fair answer about this strange comment. What did Trump knew would cause a "storm"???

He's not known as much of a reader, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he'd picked up Before the storm : Barry Goldwater and the unmaking of the American consensus, a book published in 2009, when Trump was getting warmed up for some action outside of "business."

As the previous contender for the title of "the GREAT DISRUPTER," Barry by rights would have been something of a hero for Don. During that short interim before they started hitting him with everything they could throw at him, Trump may have been cocky enough to have signaled his desire to be "the real barry goldwater"... as a kind of inside poke at the Republican party hed was dragging along for the ride!

Indeed, it could be a possibility.
