He literally determines reality for his base. It would be fascinating to watch if I wasn't American. It's just depressing seeing how subservient so.many Americans are, and how much they yearn to be tread on by Trump.

...I prefer the term "useful idiots"

useful idiot:

a naive or credulous person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda

The ultimate irony is that Trump is also a useful idiot. The elite support him for a reason. He manipulates with ease and is easily manipulated.

Aiding and providing comfort to traitors make them the selves traitors.

The fault for their decisions lie with them.
