Have you ever said something embarrassing? Incriminating? Costly? No problem! Just use the

"Trump Eraser Method"!

You simply DENY that you said it---at least 150 times, preferably on TV. Then, you switch to snotty indignation if anyone mentions---you know---that thing you "never said"--- and you insult them, call them names and loudly insist that they are "anti-you". Finally, hire people to accuse your accusers---still with me?--- of something really nasty and dishonest. Repeat this nasty accusation any time you are asked about---you know.

Voila! You know that thing that you said that you wish you hadn't said? You never said it! It has been "erased" from public discussion!

A life where never saying "sorry" or "my mistake, that won't happen again" is part of who you are. What terrible hell it must be to live like that. And yet that person failed upward and became the most powerful person on the planet.

That says a lot about those 30-40% of the electorate who voted for and continue to support him. They live among us.
