From George F. Will on Trump ...


Jan 19, 2019, 1:10 PM

"Which is why this fountain of self-refuting boasts (“I have a very good brain”) lies so much. He does so less to deceive anyone than to reassure himself. And as balm for his base, which remains oblivious to his likely contempt for them as sheep who can be effortlessly gulled by preposterous fictions. The tungsten strength of his supporters’ loyalty is as impressive as his indifference to expanding their numbers."

Let's be honest here.......

I don't disagree with all of Will's assessments, but he's been acting like a woman scorned since the pub establishment crapped the bed in 2016. This is just a petty Dear John letter....what's the goal of it?

Everyone either already knows this for a while now or...

will never know it.

Trump has an extreme personality disorder. That doesn't mean the country can't somehow benefit. I'm willing to let it play out at this point without freaking out. If something happens to reduce the power of the Fed, reduce the power/trust in the federal government, and reduce the power and control of the military industrial complex, I will be glad of it, regardless of the extreme delusions and low character of the Prez.


Anyone who supports a president because they "like" or "trust" the person is still a child. Support an outcome, and support events that lead to that desired outcome.

Note: I would have never voted for Trump. I will never vote for him. I am not confident at all that any of those things will happen. So this is sorta ironic.

Trumps base will show up for a rally on 4 days notice, stand in line for 9 hours, and fill a 20 thousand seat arena.

the only way trump sells out a 20k seat arena is if he arrives in a monster truck and runs over Hillary Clinton in a prius. That is what the good people paid to see.

They also believe all the bullsheet he spews***

They'll do the same for monster trucks, tractor pulls and Celine Dion....your point?

Not to be ugly

but a sizable fraction of Trump's base won't understand half the words Will uses in his columns. I sure as hell get lost in them sometimes.
