12. It seems that much of the media has awakened

I'm reading far more negative op-eds and news articles about Trump's activities than I have in the past few months.

They are actually covering his "Trump University" scam, as well as many of the other things he's said and done, which he then went on to contradict in word and action. They're especially covering that stunt back in February where he skipped the debate in order to "raise money for veterans." Much of that money is unaccounted for and much of the media is laying that on Trump.

It may be that his followers can't/wont/refuse to deal with reality. I don't know whether that's unyielding loyalty to their "Chosen One," or outright ignorance.

Either way, the media has begun to bury them in reality. My guess is that they'll just tune it all out and continue believing whatever insanity it is they believe.

Scary! And a condemnation of the education system of "The Greatest Country in the World." The next time you feel like shouting "USA, USA," keep in mind that we live in a country in which almost half of the population are on the verge of electing a dangerous buffoon as president.
