, as he puts it.

For the narrative to be effective, it must have some truth.

Let's see.

Since an actor turned politician named

left the White House, two families have haunted the Oval Office with greater or lesser fortune: the

, father and son, and the

, husband and wife, the last frustrated as the first president in the history of the United States.

But can we consider anti-system a millionaire who has raised his fortune precisely by taking advantage of the system? 

These elections revolve around a figure who calls war heroes cowards without having served in the military, who presents himself as the voice of the people being the richest president since the independence of the United States, and who assures that he is the preferred leader of the history of the United States when it did not even win the popular vote, something that had only happened with

, to tell us how the electoral thermometer is, the polls, and how they will determine the final strategies of the candidates during these last days before November 3.
