Trump stumped a terrible CEO, a former governor, multiple sitting senators, Hillary Clinton, a former president, and now the goddamn Pope of the Catholic Church. Who's left? How do you go higher than the Pope? Is Ban Ki-moon going to take on Trump now? Is Bill Gates going to toss his hat in?

That or the democratic nominee for president, I dunno

That or Congress, come to think of it. Even though he's running as Republican I don't think they're going to be any friendlier if he tries to upset the boat and pass protectionist legislation.

From Zizek's "Against Human Rights":

Apropos the Party of Order, formed after the defeat of the June insurrection, Marx wrote that only after Louis-Napoleon�s December 10 election victory allowed it to �cast off� its coterie of bourgeois republicans was the secret of its existence, the coalition of Orl�anists and Legitimists into one party, disclosed. The bourgeois class fell apart into two big factions which alternately�the big landed proprietors under the restored monarchy and the finance aristocracy and the industrial bourgeoisie under the July Monarchy�had maintained a monopoly of power. Bourbon was the royal name for the predominant influence of the interests of the one faction, Orl�ans the royal name for the predominant influence of the interests of the other faction�the nameless realm of the republic was the only one in which both factions could maintain with equal power the common class interest without giving up their mutual rivalry. [3]

This, then, is the first complication. When we are dealing with two or more socio-economic groups, their common interest can only be represented in the guise of the negation of their shared premise: the common denominator of the two royalist factions is not royalism, but republicanism. (Just as today, the only political agent that consistently represents the interests of capital as such, in its universality, above particular factions, is the �social liberal� Third Way.) Then, in The Eighteenth Brumaire, Marx dissected the makeup of the Society of December 10, Louis-Napoleon�s private army of thugs:

The logic of the Party of Order is here brought to its radical conclusion. In the same way that the only common denominator of all royalist factions is republicanism, the only common denominator of all classes is the excremental excess, the refuse, the remainder, of all classes. That is to say, insofar as the leader perceives himself as standing above class interests, his immediate class base can only be the excremental remainder of all classes, the rejected non-class of each class. And, as Marx develops in another passage, it is this support from the �social abject� which enables Bonaparte to shift his position as required, representing in turn each class against the others.

As the executive authority which has made itself independent, Bonaparte feels it to be his task to safeguard �bourgeois order�. But the strength of this bourgeois order lies in the middle class. He poses, therefore, as the representative of the middle class and issues decrees in this sense. Nevertheless, he is somebody solely because he has broken the power of that middle class, and keeps on breaking it daily. He poses, therefore, as the opponent of the political and literary power of the middle class. [5] But there is more. In order for this system to function�that is, for the leader to stand above classes and not to act as a direct representative of any one class�he also has to act as the representative of one particular class: of the class which, precisely, is not sufficiently constituted to act as a united agent demanding active representation. This class of people who cannot represent themselves and can thus only be represented is, of course, the class of small-holding peasants, who form a vast mass, the members of which live in similar conditions but without entering into manifold relations with one other. Their mode of production isolates them from one another instead of bringing them into mutual intercourse . . . They are consequently incapable of enforcing their class interests in their own name, whether through a parliament or through a convention. They cannot represent themselves, they must be represented. Their representative must at the same time appear as their master, as an authority over them, as an unlimited governmental power that protects them against the other classes and sends them rain and sunshine from above. The political influence of the small-holding peasants, therefore, finds its final expression in the executive power subordinating society to itself.[6]

These three features together form the paradoxical structure of populist-Bonapartist representation: standing above all classes, shifting among them, involves a direct reliance on the abject/remainder of all classes, plus the ultimate reference to the class of those who are unable to act as a collective agent demanding political representation.

tl;dr
Trump is Napoleon III

nice

Marx was a wise mofo
