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

(6,043 posts)1. That honesty would require real leadership
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.
Help me with this please.

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
