Not from Trump's perspective, it's like when he goes on Fox and Friends he just feels safe there, no one's going to challenge his views or criticise him, they're just there to make him feel loved and stroke his ego.
So essentially you have an inward looking banana republic, with Fox News being the media mouth piece of the regime. He was born in the wrong country.
 
Can't remember the last time I posted in here but amazing to think that each and every week trump makes things crazier than the previous week.

I'm actually quite worried about when the GOP loses an election with meaning. Either Nov or perhaps 2 years in Nov. The base will not take it well and we see just how nuts they are. Worse would be Trump or his kids getting in serious legal problems.
 
Yeah. The wrestling analogy is perfect. I used to be a huge fan of wrestling. It died for me as a sport when I realised it was scripted. I would guess most people feel the same way.
Now, when I see clips of people in the arena shouting and looking genuinely excited about something they know is fake, I think they must be crazy.
For them playing their part has become the excirexcit for them. They know it's nonsense but they have all agreed to the act.
I'm pretty sure they don't listen to half the shit he says.
If I went to a WWE event I would expect to be paid as an extra. What we are dealing with is people the believe the National Enquirer who couldnt tell you the last 3 speakers of the house. Donald Trump didnt even know who John Boehner was when Ailes suggested him as COS if trump won.
Half are deplorable but all are extremely low information people and very gullible. Its crazy how much nasty shit they can eat while ignoring the mind nourishing facts on offer right in front of their faces.

They'll do fecking nothing. The Koch brothers wont be there to bus them in to DC and a Dem controlled house has the power of subpoena and the hunger to take this farce down. With proper hearings senators in blue states will have no choice but to bow to the evidence. These motherfeckers rode around harassing young black women when trump won and sobbed like babies on their day in court. Cowards that will do feck all only moan and blame the usual suspects, Hillary, Obama, Pelosi and Warren. Which annoys me the most as the these people, if allowed, could make peoples lives so much better.

All this doesn’t invalidate the theory.

These people are addicts. They need that morphine shot, that emotional release. Screaming ‘lock her up’ or ‘build that wall’ is their way of confirming self worth and feeling like they belong. Trump telling them it’s all a big conspiracy from the swamp/Hollywood/liberal elites is music to their ears, ‘mind nourishing facts’ just bring them back to a squalid, mundane, unpleasant limbo that they yearn to escape from.

I just lost way too much of the day shaking my head in disbelief scrolling through this timeline but on the plus side I now have a better understanding of how Trump has such a passionate base. Proper loonies love him.

The sorry existence of a conservative in the USA. My experience of this country since I left my own banana republic is very positive but I still cant understand the hatred these people have for everybody that doesnt conform to their warped view of reality.

Today, my 5 year old son asked me, “Daddy, why does the government still need our tax money when the Pentagon has stolen trillions of dollars to buildout secret space programs?”

I honestly have no idea how to respond

:lol:

I've got news for the thick cnut. His son is way too smart, might not be his... :eek:

I like how he conveniently leaves out Roger Stone in the Pedo-Cabal-Head picture.

Yeah it is - do you think it will go anywhere though? He appears to be made of teflon
Personally. I think he is in trouble .Mueller is the only thing that matters ,everything around him is just theatre, plus there is still Stormy Daniels.
 
Of course his rallies are all an act .It's just like going to a WWE venue with Acosta being the heel.
If it turns out to have been a long-winded ruse by Andy Kaufman, who reveals in 2020 that he actually had faked his death and replaced his Tony Clifton character with The Donald, I think that's probably the only way this will ever make sense to me.

It's more likely than this Q Anon stuff anyhow.

That one kind of answers itself, doesn't it? Kids. :rolleyes:

You ask him if he’s heard of the Ivy League cause that kid’s a prodigy.

Wait, someone ever believed that WWE was not scripted? forrealz?
 
The former British Labour MP Ed Balls (who switched to reality shows after he lost the election) has done a series for the BBC called "Travels in Trumpland". Which tackles the question of why do Trump's voters still like him.

Worth watching for anyone (who can get BBC) who wants to literally see the wrestling showbiz phenomena in action. It also includes sequences with other groups, like military veterans. That core vote will vote for him again and in the show you can understand their reasoning, even if you think they're being conned, lied to and having their prejudices boosted, as part of the sales pitch.
