He is honest and genuine when he calls himself a socialist.  I cannot believe that a significant portion of the US population would even entertain a socialist.  SMH. 

 

I think you're getting Trump confused with Bernie Sanders....

The thing is is that even though Sanders says he's a socialist, he's in no way a socialist. Socialism is when the government owns the means of production in the economy and dictates where that production goes to. He's actually more of a Fascist because he advocates privately owned, state directed/regulated industry and a large welfare state. He's basically advocating for the system that already exists in the United States but he wants to massively expand it. We already have a watered down version of Fascism in the United States and so does most of Europe. Just because Germany got rid of their swastikas and concentration camps doesn't mean they gave up Fascism; they're just nicer Fascists now. Either he doesn't really know what socialism means or he's just trying to label his ideas socialism to make them sound all shiny and new and exciting to dumbed down voters. Welfare doesn't neccessarily equate to socialism.
