The Saker
A Saker is a large bird, a falcon. It is also the name of a popular Leftist blog. The blogger is anti-American, anti-Israel and quite paranoid: It was of course George Bush who blew up the twin towers.
The Saker is an example of an older Leftist type that precedes the modern-day Democratic party. As Trump points out, the modern-day Democrats are the establishment, the people in charge of most things in American life. They would still control the Presidency if they had put up Sanders against Trump but the personal ambition and deep pockets of Hillary Clinton derailed that.
But there is an older leftist type that is anti-establishment. They used to complain about "the system", "The bosses", "Wall St.", "Big business" etc. They yearned for a "workers' paradise". They saw themselves as ground-down and the victim of all sorts of conspiracies, including "The capitalist press".
And they still exist.
