I don't have cable, and I don't watch MSNBC. I live in Canada and watch Canadian news, BBC, and read newspapers from around the world.
I've been following Trump for years - since the 1980's when he first gained fame. He's always been a liar and a con man - a man of no morals and less substance. If he hadn't been born rich he'd be a poor grifter on the run from the law.
I can believe anyone with half a brain would vote for this lying sack of shit. But we are talking about American right wingers so it's hardly surprising that the voters who never fact check, who never question what Republicans tell them, got conned.
