Donald Trump voters: We like the presidents lies.
Donald Trump supporters in hardscrabble Ohio have finally figured out that he is lying — a lot. The truth is, they don’t care.
NEWARK, OHIO—James Cassidy didn’t need the director of the FBI to tell him Barack Obama never wiretapped Donald Trump at Trump Tower. Cassidy knew from the start that Trump made the whole thing up.
He was happy the president lied.
“He’s ruffling every feather in Washington that he can ruffle. These guys are scrambling. So: yeah! I like it. I think it’s a good thing. I want to see them jump around a little bit,” Cassidy, 58, said on Tuesday.
It was the first afternoon of spring. Cassidy, an unemployed former construction worker, was smoking outside a bar on one of the faded downtown streets of Newark, a city of 48,000 people about 45 minutes east of Columbus. When a buddy rolled up on a bicycle, they soon got to talking about their chronic pain.
Cassidy is hurting, and he wants powerful people to hurt too.
So when Trump sent Congress and the media and the big intelligence agencies into a perplexed frenzy with a four-tweet lie in early March about supposed surveillance “McCarthyism” by his “sick” predecessor, Cassidy smiled to himself.
Sure, Cassidy thought, Trump’s claim was obviously false. “Why would he? Why would Obama do that?” But Trump had promised to slap some sense into the out-of-touch Washington elites, and he was doing what he said he was going to do, wasn’t he?'>>>

wanting to feel powerful.
MOST people outgrow this stage, but it appears that many don't, due to lack of proper guidance. 
that stood out to me:
I suppose this passes for critical thinking:
“What he was wanting to do was keep things stirred up so it was all confused. He said he was going to do that from the time he started running for the election,” said the man on the bike, retired factory worker John Tolliver, 75. “That’s what it’s going to take. When they’re confused, they don’t know what they’re doing, they’re going to make a mistake, and he’s going to grab them.”
I suppose Mr. Tolliver is right, he might grab them. 
And I thought I'd heard every descriptor utilized, but humorous has never been one:
“I think that was just something just to rattle Obama. I don’t think any less of him because of it,” said Grumme, 60, as he waited for a McDonald’s order in Zanesville. “As long as he don’t keep it up continuously — every once in a while, sure, take a little stab and crack at him or something. You expect that. He’s a humorous guy.”
Oh, yes, he slays, Mr. Grumme. It's hysterical until someone loses a testicle- to cancer they couldn't afford to treat.
