"...If Trump gets the nomination, Fox News star Bill O'Reilly tells his viewers, "he should send Barack Obama a very nice gift for making that possible." You see, Obama's unwillingness to keep Americans safe from terrorism and the fact that "he continues to allow people to illegally enter America with impunity" has filled Americans with so much rage that they have turned to the candidate most willing to share it.
The brain trust on Fox & Friends agreed that it's only because Obama so obviously doesn't care about America that "when Donald Trump comes out with something that seems extreme, then people say, 'Okay, at least I can say he's looking out for you.'"
Well, that makes sense - if I was a Fox zombie. I never did trust that twice-elected Kenyan Muslim.

When my father came back, he told me that the old man had blamed the Jews for WWII: WWII was the Jews' fault because they secretly had brought Hitler to power.

Trump is a result of the Right blowing dog whistles, throwing out red meat, Rush Limbaugh, etc. etc. It was bound to happen.
