Trump is Alexander McDougall or John Hancock -1

4^th July 1776 declared the United States of America an independent nation. Thirteen Colonies who rebelled against British control during the American Revolution win over the British governance.  Their rebellion was based on the political philosophy of republicanism. They were called “The Patriots also known as Revolutionaries, Continentals, Rebels, or American Whigs.

Masters of the revolution were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Thomas Paine. They were opposed by the Loyalists who instead supported continued British rule.

Patriots represented a wide array of social, economic and ethnic backgrounds they were

Lawyers like John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. 

Planters like Thomas Jefferson and George Mason.

Merchants like Alexander McDougall and John Hancock.

Ordinary farmers like Daniel Shays and Joseph Plumb Martin.

Patriots also included slaves and freemen such as Crispus Attucks

Political revolutions 99% times ending up with bloody conflicts, as the reason that one or few guys opposing against the establishment, most of the time they were get butchered by an establishment or else up rising  is so powerful to over through the establishment. Patriots are mostly out siders they are often not in the game.

2016 US presidential election, There is kind of revolution and a moment building up, that’s Donald J Trump an out sider but was a contributor as off a sudden pop up and declared running for the POTUS. And Establishment or so call Loyalists jump through the roof laughing at DJ Trump.

Loyalists rush to find all the mud buckets about Trump and start firing mud cannons only the difference that 1770s and now is Media is the main battle gun, Social Networks, Printed newspapers to Huge Bill boards. Start bombarding trump spending millions of dollars. By looking at it I was thinking what the heck Trump wanted from become a POTUS. He already a president of a global mega organization living a gold plated palace with a beautify wife a model and his children already prepared and taking over his business empire. And now he is under the daily mud cannon fire, people are burning his dummies and burning those, protesters so much of headache. What is this man just doing what he was doing and contribute to the both party’s end of election congratulation do a negotiation next real estate deal with the new establishment, life is cool. But now he is leading a revolution, against his own party establishment, and ruling establishment, hammering those guys that got his contribution. And so much of flame and fires in various subjects and end of the season there he is securing the nomination before even convention.

Revolution as we heard all ways starts with a poor or middle class and people gather around him or her and move forward the revolution. Did we ever heard a wealthy guy who drop off from his comfortable chair and get on to the street? hmmmm not so much.

 But I found two guys who did it more or less trump style.. 

Alexander McDougall American seaman, merchant, Son of a Liberty leader from New York City. military leader during the Revolutionary War. After the war, he was the president of the first bank in the state of New York and served a term in the New York state senate.

1763 McDougall gave up his sailing. French Indian war had ended and his wife Nancy passed so did his father. Changing carrier and losing two beloved he was left with responsibility for his three children and his mother.

Mc Dougall sale all his sailing assets invested in land and became a merchant and importer. In 1767 he had his business going well . He buy a land in Albany County and North Carolina.

He remarried buy though their increasing wealth earned them recognition, it did not earn them acceptance into the traditional society in New York City (The establishment).Longstanding members of high society such as the Livingston’s and the De Lancey's looked down on him as crude and unpolished (sounds familiar) .

McDougall became Sons of Liberty activities, and later was a leader in the movement in New York. NY city and the colony were in trouble by the Quartering Act, which required the colonists to provide housing and support to the British troops. (Sounds familiar? illegals in the city they bring crime?)

New York assembly had refused to pass approval for their housing in 1767 and 1768, and had been prorogued. Then, the new assembly (Loyalists)  of 1769 approved money for the quartering of British troops.

1769 McDougall wrote and printed an anonymous broadside, “To the Betrayed Inhabitants” which criticized the assembly's approval and sparked the Battle of Golden Hill. He was accused of libel and arrested on February 1770 and refused to post bail, Dump in to Jail, spent two period for 5 months.
