Sad shape this country is in, and no relief in sight.
If Trump was some nobody without the money and celebrity he would have been laughed away and gone away a long time ago. People are stupid they see his celebrity status and believe his lies and dismiss all the negatives he is identified with. To me that's what a cult leader is. Folks are mesmerized by the personality and their lies and follow them to the end. It defies all logic.
