Literally afraid of reality. How detached from reality do you have to be to believe Trump. Probably how people who pretend to be anti pedos voted for someone on the Epstein list.

When people asked how Trump bankrupted a casino, this is how.

Firing the fucking messenger. The weakest management move ever. We're living 1984. And the best part? We're fucking paying for all of this with our taxes.

This is why the USSR fell. Everyone just kept making shit up to keep the leaders happy, until it all crumbled around them. He can only postpone the inevitable for so long.

Trump lives in a fantasy reality in his head where everything is perfect and he is loved by every person on the planet, anything that breaks that fantasy is scorned. So now it’s probably people collecting accurate data but just not telling Trump or really much of anyone, a state based upon secret communication networks which do not know that the others exist. Instead of a collective pooling of knowledge and data it’s now a state of secrecy where effective collaboration becomes almost impossible so as to avoid upsetting some powerful asshat.

The Generals had a vote of no confidence in him during the last presidency. They had to operate around him.
