Just like he said.
There's little to convince me that his base will ever turn on him, even if they're the ones he kills.
Am I being hyperbolic here?
It just seems so willful when he's not letting adequate testing happen or making sure healthcare workers have the needed medical supplies for themselves and the sick.

(38,187 posts)Personally, I think he could stomp their firstborn to death and they'd still defend him where I live. You are not exaggerating the least bit. They put him in the same exact category as their god, as if he IS a god. That speaks volumes about them. I wouldn't put anything past him or his followers. I would not be surprised by anything they would do to support him either. Look how many people were willing to go to prison for him during the Mueller investigation alone.

(12,712 posts)I would suggest that a crafty confidence man would utilize a crises for his own benefit and in ways that many people in this culture are refusing to face up to as a potential and in regards to the outcome.
Considering that there was a test simulation done by the WH and agencies as early as last October concerning this and that the information about the potential extent of this outbreak was available early on, one can only assume that the player is going to play this for ulterior motives, and they do not just relate to money and El Presidente's businesses in my understanding so far.
We are dealing with a professional manipulator who oozes with loathing for this country and all of its people. I even see it in the character he plays at his rallys. It is a smug, sing-song, you fools attitude, etc.

(8,445 posts)His following truly is a cult following.
My ex-husband found a reason to call me last week, and I stupidly got sucked into a political "discussion" with him. He went on and on about how smart 45 is. He gets ALL of his information from FauxNews, and isn't able to use any of his brain cells, of which there are obviously only a few now remaining, to have a rational thought.
I vow to not get sucked in again. He's a lost cause. He was a lifelong Democrat, but was brainwashed by my Repuke brother and some fishing buddies from a red state. I realized the other day, when contemplating how he got to the extreme he has gone to, that he always was pretty much a chameleon. He's just sick in the head.
Anyway, getting back to the subject, 45 contorts the facts and outright lies. His cult will believe anything he tells them to believe. There is no saving any of them. The scary thing is that when 45 goes plummeting down, his cult will be downright dangerous. And they have guns.

(4,247 posts)He has no intention of doing what it takes to help save lives. His intent all along was to "ride it like a cowboy. Just ride it. Ride that sucker right through like "some have told" him. Those are direct quotes from him about covid-19
People are still not realizing he is who he has told us he is: the type of person who could shoot someone on 5th Ave. & his cult members would defend him.

(16,928 posts)sending JeRat out to claim that the "supply" belonged to them, not US, was a non-violent 5th Avenue shooting. It was a giant F-U to anybody that won't kiss his oversized blubbering a$$.
And yes, his "base" is his forever, no matter what.
