I wish DR would explain to his base how pointless, ineffective and mean the wall is

Instead of claiming the Bad Americans made him fail, and insisting The Wall is a legitimate need.

However, he probably doesn't understand it himself.

What am I saying? Of course he knows. He's just doing the thing he does best:

LYING OUT HIS ASS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE

I keep thinking about the appeal of the strongman, demagogue or so-called populists in democracies.

It is theater - the person in front of the crowd wants to lie and the crowd wants to be lied to.

They all know it is theater- a lie-but it doesn't matter they are getting the deep emotional needs met.

I know if I try to do a DT on my cell it will change it to DO or DR. I've had a few confusing messages sent to friends or family due to the autocorrect on my iphone. Now I've learned to proof read any and all text I send.

Just a thought.

Peace
