Maybe. I think you're missing the real reason it's not a risk: he's made for ten lifetimes.
But it does take someone who really isn't risking anything to point out the elephants in the room. It's not about balls so much as it's about the immunity afforded by wealth.

Which is why he's dangerous. Not to the status quo. I mean dangerous. If people actually elect that assbag, he's been living in that too rich to give a shit life for his entire life. His entire world is 'Do as I say or you're fired'. That's not really how you run a superpower. You can't just call up Canada and say hey fuck you guys or I'll nuke you. That's not a real good way to handle the world diplomacy. Well, Canada maybe, those guys are pussies.

Sure. I don't want him elected. But I'm cool with him being there and shitting up the political circus act.
