Stalin and Goebbels proved the unwashed mass will believe anything if repeated often enough. Trump proves that if you act like a loose cannon Reality TV star, Americans believe anything you say, same as they believe scripted broadcast programming. It simply doesn't matter when he changes scripts daily or hourly. 'Jobs', gone. 'Drain the Swamp', inoperative, "didn't like it from the first." All appointments are direct lines to keeping corporations in charge of the demise of America, and the short term profit of the 1%. And brain dead Rightists trumpet the victory over thoughtful policy designed to Attempt to meet the unprecedented challenges of a dying ecology, diminishing mineral resources, the poisoning of the country's soil, air and water, toxic food everywhere, half the nation suffering chronic disease, no prospect for actual jobs for most in the post industrial/robot society, and the triumph of corporate money over anything resembling democracy and the National Interest. Hubris has destroyed most empires before, and it's eating this one alive. Trump sucks rich Russian dick for dollars(where most of his Real Estate sales are now), and powerless white men with no future cheer on their own diminishment. From Republic to Kleptocracy in one election.
