I think this has a lot to do with it. Add to that being fed a diet of 'government bad, free market perfect' for decades, it's not hard to rile them up with a good con man.

What I find interesting is how so many people are just now figuring out Trump has mental problems. All those people who asserted, when he's elected he'll behave differently, are waking up to the reality, no he is not capable of changing. They had a fantasy that Trump must be a great businessman, look how successful he is.

Pretty sure we can go back and find more than a few posts here in the forum of people saying just that.

The GOP will let Trump break all government entities, then impeach him. Afterwards, they will say it was all Trump's fault. They will also point out that government programs don't work.
 
This seems reckless. Extremely reckless.

Mr. Trump’s wife, Melania, went back to New York on Sunday night with their 10-year-old son, Barron, and so Mr. Trump has the television — and his old, unsecured Android phone, to the protests of some of his aides — to keep him company. That was the case after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, when Mr. Trump appeared to be reacting to Bill O’Reilly’s show on Fox News, which was airing a feature on crime in Chicago.

This sounds objectionable...
I mean, I can't remember the last time when Republicans were critical of a government official using a private email server...

Maybe some Trump supporters could give us their $0.02 on this?
 
And the con man continues his con:

Headline: Trump signs order to end federal money to sanctuary cities.
Fact: He signed some BS order to look into it.

Headline: Trump moves to start building wall.
Fact: Gawd knows, it was some meaningless act that is unclear.

Headline: Trump signs order ending ACA.
Fact: No one can figure out what the order means, something about permission for Congress to act.

Headline (paraphrased): Trump says, "Chicago get your act together or big daddy Trump is going to step in and do it for you."
Fact: Bluster, nothing more.

And then there is the voter fraud investigation, riiiight, does anyone think there'll be an investigation? Like Melania's immigration press conference and a dozen other things Trump said he'd do that faded into the woodwork when the date arrived.

Headline: Trump signed a gazillion papers, see them right there on the desk, turning over all his businesses to his sons.
Fact: No one can find any actual evidence of said transfer.

Spicer is denying fed agencies were censored, they were only told to follow their own policies and the order did not come from Trump. Guess that trial balloon popped.

What is the deal with the wall? Does Trump genuinely have some idea of how Mexico are going to pay? I mean it just sounds completely deluded to me, but maybe I've missed something.

My wife was just pointing out that East Germany managed to get West Germany to pay for their wall.

Well, at least the "tearing it back down again" part of it.

ETA: At any rate, the average Mexican is probably looking north right now and saying "Maybe now is not the best time to go there."

Back during the campaign, he threatened to block remittances until Mexico pays a lump fee to fund the wall. Since those make up a significant piece of Mexico's economy, it really would put a lot of pressure on Mexico if he could pull it off.

I don't think Trump is quite as smart as you make him out to be.
