Lakeoff's suggestion would legimize that line of thinking. Lakeoff doesn't understand what Trump is doing. He's not framing ideas. He is changing definitions and shifting usage.
For example, I think there's a good chance he will get away with calling public education a monopoly- because after all he is a businessman with a lot of experience with such things.
