Try and picture this scene in your mind. Four years ago, then-businessman Donald Trump, the walking meme machine regarded as a longshot candidate for the White House but who nevertheless crushed all of his Republican rivals, steps up to a podium to deliver remarks to a group of American soldiers. Rows of soldiers stand behind him as he speaks, providing a patriotic, made-for-TV visual. As for the candidate himself, he rambles, he jokes, out comes one sound bite after another, he zings the opposition — all of it, in other words, vintage Trump.
