Steven Bechloss' take on Trump hits the bullseye, but FFS, this has been EVIDENT about Trump for DECADES. [View all]

Show of hands...anyone on DU just realizing this about Trump in 2026? Is there anyone here who DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT TRUMP in his first term, or WELL BEFORE he waddled down the escalator in 2015 with his Slovenian sex worker wife?
