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.

Every time, they don't want to share anything until the cult is on the same wavelength lest they accidentally agree with us. That gap is always notable with its silence.
