Our political system

Donald Trump's struggles in recent weeks reminded me of this cartoon.
The political class hates Trump because he doesn't act like them.
He tries, but then he reverts to his self and blows up the media.
The media like things as they are, with them providing the access to the political class and maintaining their importance.
But what has the political class given us?
Debt over $19 trillion.
Looming problems not being discussed while minor issues become major woes.
The system is rigged to their styles.
They can climb the political tree better than anyone.
But the times call for something different.
Trump is a genius in his business and reality TV world.
He's trying to help our country with his knowledge from those spheres.
But will his failure to climb the political tree leave us with more of the same?
And only the political climbers happy.
