The stupefying gullibility & ignorance of Trumps cultists





Trump changing his rally cry to #FinishThatWall (& his fans eating it up) proves the stupefying gullibility & ignorance of his cultists. Not 1 centimeter of new wall has been built. He's finishing the wall the way I'm finishing law school. Fun fact: I never started law school.

To do everything he's doing alone. This is a well planned out attack using this useful idiot who does have a long career in conning people into believing anything he says and claims it is the truth, when its the opposite. He sets them up to accept his words over facts , a normal tactic used by con men , and them ramps it up like he's done now using it to attacks all institutions , and groups , and people opposed to him on a daily basis. The American people are realizing this , with his Mexico would pay for it claims, his health care for all at a lower costs and better coverage, and his phony 10 % tax cut he claimed before the Mid Terms, and his tax plan , and he wouldn't touch Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security then signed into law just under 2 trillion taken out of these programs, the opposite of what he claimed and said he'd do. More American people are realizing he's just a con man , and corrupt criminal , not anything what he claims to be. He's battling the truth coming out and exposing him for everything he's done, and is doing, and he can't stop it. I suspect he'll claim mental illness , or other diseases effecting the brain as his excuse to use as his defense when SHTF soon. trump's nothing but a highly skilled career long con man, and its finely catching up to him.

His television audience.

We are watching a reality TV version of the presidency. The so-called base has allegiance to this fraud, not necessarily due to political affiliations, but rather as a result of his orchestrated, outlandish and unscrutinized anti-Democrat "policies" that evoke a pavlovian response from them.

They are the half-witted unwitting accomplices to the greatest act of treason, the greatest act of mass brainwashing, in our country's history, if not of all time.

A lot of the "base" are really Russian and rightwing bots, but nobody talks about that either. Chump goes on TV with paid supporters standing behind him, cheering on cue. They're all jammed together to make it look like a huge audience, but we're never told that his "rallies" are getting booked into smaller venues to make them look like large crowds.

The American people have been hoodwinked, and the media has gone along with it. Time to end this charade.

guilty in this fiasco. They know he is stupid, yet treat him as though he is a real, legitimate president. He is NOT.
