He's not only the President, he's also a customer.

Lots of people wanting to be told that it's okay to punch down, and that they *haven't* screwed up the economy and the environment for their kids, and they'll ignore literally anything else so long as someone is just willing to say it to them (hell, they'll ignore 20 minutes of word salad just so long as the 20 seconds of what-they-want-to-hear is involved).

There will be chapters of sociology books devoted to this presidency at some point in the future. Probably written in Europe or China, at the rate we're going.

It’s not just falling for him. They’re so convinced that Democrats are this point are “Brownshirt” Nazis hat they are totally ok with a President who in the last 3 weeks proves to be a tax fraud, put more Americans in the heartland out of work thanks to tariffs and was the latest member of the GOP to essentially confess to being Pro Rape by admitting he didn’t care if Ford was honest.

But at least he’s not a Brownshirt! That’s the new hip term in their circles.

I am too. Trump isn’t charming. He has no charisma. I’ve never once been inspired by anything he said, even way before became president. He would start off kind of strong and it always fizzles into complimenting himself and trashing someone else.

However trump supporters are like “he hates the same people I do, so that’s my man”

fell for such a snake oil salesman

​

Except he isn't selling snake oil. He's selling:

​

Oh wait, nevermind. That's all Obama because it's positive. I'm sorry, my bad, I wasn't following the rules: If it's positive, Thanks Obama! If it's negative, BAD ORANGE MAN!

​

Give me a break. This is so tired. You're gonna have to try harder to convince people he's bad when, aside from you libs complaining constantly, things are better than they have been in years. For everyone.

Enjoy six more years of Drumpf!
