His nonsensical blabbering and bragging about himself. Making up facts to justify his cray-cray beliefs.

We got this idiot because of FAKE News.

Like FOX News and Sinclair. They refused to tell the people the truth about what and who they were voting for and continue until this day.

They are masters of "un-information". They keep their viewers "uninformed:.

On a closed border, America first Nationalist agenda.

We won the popular vote...God only knows how many votes they stole.

Problem is to many people bash Trump publicly while agreeing with and voting for him privately.

against her, and many from our own party actively campaigning against her. They justify it with the most bizarre excuses, too, obviously not too bothered by Trump after all.

that they weren't "bothered" by IQ45 - I'm thinking it was more like: "Ain't no way in hell that idiot is gonna' win - so why bother going to vote."

...told a lot of angry, frightened rural white people who are afraid of change what they wanted to hear, so they voted for him.

and Donnie got the fluffy pillow media treatment reserved for Hollywood A-listers... Add in the usual touches of racial scapegoating, ratfucking assistance from Moscow, and the worst-timed FBI investigation announcement EVER, and you know the rest...

I also think deep down more Americans than we care to admit find politics boring and thought Trump would be entertaining if nothing else...
