LOL, Trump as a symbol of the oppressed .. a symbol .. get the angry onside .. avoid concrete policy .. become a symbol of opposition of everything and anything of government policy and social change ..
"It was Mr. Manafort who had argued for a new name for the movement — the Opposition Bloc, or Oppo Bloc, as it was called. “He thought to gather the largest number of people opposed to the current government, you needed to avoid anything concrete, and just become a symbol of being opposed,” recalled Mikhail B. Pogrebinsky, a political analyst in Kiev." .. your link ..http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/01/us/paul-manafort-ukraine-donald-trump.html
Redoing Donald Trump as a symbol of the oppressed is Mr. Manafort's tactic, eh.
That's ridiculous when you think of Trump's life-long pattern of hob-nobbing with establishment politicians, all while exploiting workers, tradesmen and smaller business people for his own benefit.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
