Was Donald Trump a possible shill for the Republican Party all along?

It really did surprise me when Donald Trump won the Presidential election.  And I was so certain that he was actually a shill for Hillary Clinton, but I couldn't have been more wrong.  Now, that I think about it, he was probably a shill for the Republican Party all along.  President-elect Trump was actually a false outsider.  Now that Trump has been elected, we are witnessing him appointing a cabinet that sounds like some very traditional right-wing insiders that will care way more about Wall Street than Main Street.

You see the Republican Party knew if they couldn't win the 2012 Presidential election with a mainstream guy such as Mit Romney, there was no way they were going to win the Presidential election 2016.  Unless. they got a pretend outsider such as Donald Trump.  

Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California? There were Republican's actually saying that we should amend the Constitutional clause that says that the American President must be an American citizen by birth.  They liked Schwarzenegger's mass appeal in the Golden State, and they thought he could hoodwink the whole country in the same way he did the left coast.  Luckily that plan didn't get very far, but ironically Schwarzenegger is now taking over Donald Trump's hosting duties on "The Celebrity Apprentice."  Coincidence? I wonder.

Trump was the perfect outsider.  He would say all sorts of outrageous stuff to rally the disenfranchised uneducated voter, and at the same time get mainstream leaders, like Paul Ryan, upset with him.  Ryan would flip-flop between shunning Trump and making amends with him, probably to see which would potentially attract more voters, or to further confuse voters.  Is Trump accepted by the mainstream or not?

The other scary thing is the alleged involvement of the former Soviet Union in the 2016 election.  I have heard speculation that this was to help lift the trade embargo with the former Soviet Union so that Exxon Mobil could get access to a vast supply of oil that the Soviets have.

Since Trump has been elected, accusations have been flying back and forth mostly between Trump and the main stream media.  It is like that ancient Chinese curse that gets quoted all the time in the media, "May you live in interesting times."  It looks like "interesting times" are happening now.  I hope the next four years are a lot calmer than the last four weeks.
