Trump wants to divide us. He wants to be the host for his base of leeches.

(52,240 posts)4. even that's too generous. he's really just an avid fakesnews viewer.
he's not even acting like a "president" in the sense of leading his base. all he really does is parrot back the crap he's heard on fakesnews, sometimes just the night before.
that's not being "president" of his base, that's just being, at most, a super-fan of the same team.

I forget which pundit said that but it's true.
