I don't like his politics but he's not the hater Drumpf is.

BTW, if the show falters Drumpf will say that it faltered because he's no longer on it.

in which Conservatives were not so extreme. Having just survived Hitler and Mussolini, most Europeans were highly skeptical of far-RW politics in the 50's and 60's when he grew up. Sadly, that lesson has apparently worn off. Politically, The Schwarz was more of a Reagan Republican than one who follows the current crop.

Having said that, he was still a bit of a cretin, although he feigned a lot more class than Trump exhibits. But he was still the prototypical "celebrity politician" that makes a good figurehead for the true RW extremists.
