    He has a lot of really dumb obsessions.

    He thinks people seeking asylum came from mental institutions. He is obsessed with putting his name on shit he did nothing to make. He is obsessed with ballrooms. He is obsessed with windmills and thinks they are bad. He is obsessed with letting criminals like Tina Peters and the J6 terrorists go unpunished. He is obsessed with thinking he is the one that ended California’s fires.

    It just goes on and on. He’s a gigantic manbaby who understands nothing about the real world.

    But he had just enough brainstems to vote for him and still support him even now, because a certain kind of person thinks that this kind of thing is “charismatic”.

      The dumb also seem to think they can partake in his life of spoon-fed privilege and avoid all consequences. I will never understand how he got these people so duped.

      Same with how so many religious admire such an amoral, vile, rapist and thief. He’s well beyond false idol status with tons of them.

        100s of millions of dollars into his campaign/propaganda/lies/corruption assisted a bit I’d wager.

          You have to already have a lot of people prepped as this stupid and receptive to it though, first.

          If we had a well-fed, financially secure and stable, well-educated populace with very high rates of literacy and numeracy, as well as steeped in things like media literacy and critical thinking, they would not be so receptive to this.

    It’s just the president is an idiot, and we’re all trying to come up with excuses. But the fact is, at the core base, this president is an idiot

    Top, middle, and bottom line.
