ThemRrumpeteers are setting themselves up for perpetual heartbreak. They deny the wrongdoings of the huckster buffoon because they fear and mistrust the media boogeyman they have been taught to dismiss as liars and purveyors of "fake news". They feel disaffected by the political system because their agendas have been either ignored or overlooked. They feel besieged by their political opposition because they have failed to advance their own policies for eight years.
So fearful, suspicious, disaffected and isolated they turned to a smooth talking scoundrel, a petulant billionaire, a crass and boorish I,mature man for political salvation. They knew fool well the character of the man they hitched their rickety wagon to. They saw him refuse to divulge his taxes and accepted that. They heard him talk of winning constantly and here six months into his presidency has failed with every major legislative initiative. From "building that wall and making Mexico pay for it" to repealing and replacing the ACA with something better, cheaper and all inclusive.
All they while embroiled in scandal of his own making. Irresponsible tweets, selective amnesia about meetings with Russian operatives, blanket denials of collusion with an adversary in our electoral process. And still the slim minority of a base the huckster maintains is willing to drink the koolaid, slip down the rabbit hole of alternative facts and still insist that the alleged crimes of other administrations loom larger than those of their paper mache hero, the emperor without clothes.
When this all ends, as it will inevitably, what will become,of all the adulation and belief in their hero? What will that delusioned and willfully blind base do once the evidence becomes irrefutable? There will be much wailing and weeping and gnashing of teeth from a crowd lacking the political sophistication to understand that Donald Trump lacked the character to lead the free world. Outcast again and without a port in the storm. I pity them.
I wouldn't waste that type of energy on a spazz like you.
