Koncerned - Your questions and comment indicate you did not grasp Another Commentator for Hire's intended ridicule of you equating Trump with Merton.  The point is, all three of these extraordinarily different men in fact opposed the status quo, irrespective of their history, values, personal qualities or actions.  Some would say, me included, that you likening Trump to Merton is laughably bizarre.  I suggest reading one of Merton's biographies and let us all know how alike are Merton and Trump.
