A brief history of Trump claims through the years.
How Epstein is a close friend. Trump will fix affordability; affordability is a hoax! He’ll balance the budget. Iran’s military has been destroyed.
I suspect that if someone confronted Trump with all of these claims, he would scream, “Fake news!” He’d claim, “That’s not what I said.” Then he would attack the one confronting him. Call them vile. Nasty.
That’s his MO. He cannot face the truth and can’t handle the facts.
For the record, affordability is a crisis for many Americans. Oil and gas prices are flirting with record highs.
His war with Iran is nearing its fifth month.
The Epstein files are still not released. The ballroom is still being built, and the US taxpayer is being billed.
The problem isn’t that he says these idiotic things. The problem is that people still believe all of it, despite all of that information being easily obtainable. (OK, him saying and doing the things ARE a problem too.)
His approval ratings are terrible, in the 30s, but that’s still about a THIRD of the population thinking he’s “fine”! Arizona voters put Trump candidates into office just a few days ago.
So, yes, while Trump is a problem, the bigger one is “us”—the citizens. Trump has loudly been Trump all along. The lying has been flagrant all along. Etc. “We” thought that was OK. In my mind, Trump has always been a symptom of a greater evil that we hate to name.
(And there’s more of a problem than just the 30-something % of hard-core Trump supporters. There are those who won’t vote out of apathy, etc.)
