Trump. He's still here. I have actual family members who adore the guy and will follow and do whatever he says. It makes me sick to my stomach. Recently I've decided to really listen to what they have to say. To understand why they like (not love) this man who clearly has a narcissistic personality disorder. This man who is/was a real estate developer, a reality show star on NBC and tabloid darling throughout the 1980s and 1990s. WHY HIM? Why not someone else younger in the Republican party. The majority of Republicans literally hold their noses and vote for him. They know he's an a-hole. They admit he treats people badly. He's not loyal to anyone but himself. Countless employees and staff are discarded after years of loyal service to him. My family admit (barely) that he may or may not bend the truth. Many are on the Fox News drip of course. Many are stuck only reading the Epoch Times their only news source. And a small fraction are living in a cave somewhere in the middle of our great country and come out at night.
I truly believe most of us are moderates and don't swing far to the left or far to the right. So, what is it about Trump? Why is he attractive to people? We all know why he's hated by people but WHAT THE HECK IS THE ATTRACTION? His administration was somewhat Ronald Reagan-esq. so conservatives may have jumped on that band wagon.... but Reagan, unlike Trump, was a total charmer. Sure his policies were a bit scary but as a person --- I think most would agree --- he wasn't a dick. Trump is such a fucking dickhead. He's not that bright on certain topics and he's clearly living in his own world.
SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHY CANT THEY FIND SOMEONE ELSE? I do not want to spend the next 4 years here being stressed out about the election because guys: I find this man extremely scary and dangerous. And I've never felt that with any of our president's before. Trump is dangerous. I've not liked Presidents, but I've never felt they were a danger to our country. With Trump... I do.
So what is it? Why is he loved by a little under half of this country? Seriously, let's discuss.
