Calling out an incompetent serial liar isn't media bias, it's fact based news.

It kinda sucks losing friends over politics but then these new Republicans seem to be avowed racists or racism tolerant. That's always been a deal breaker for me.

I used to visit with a neighbor and shoot the shit but he's gone full tilt Trumpist. We basically nod in each others direction nowadays when we cross paths.

I don't know what Trumpkins.really expect from him of real personal benefit that justifies the National humiliation of his election and inept corrupt administration.

I think a lot of his support are from people who view immigrants as getting "free stuff" from the social safety net. Sort of upset that entitlements are going to undocumented immigrants. I have heard this from people at work. Of course this is not entirely true.

Similarly, lots of people think food benefit recipients get cash they can spend on anything, so the Trump direct food distribution idea makes sense to them.

I've heard the "free stuff" resentment thing myself, hardly justifies an incompetent authoritarian asshole in chief as reaction.

I don't know that he feels anything as much as just pandering them by saying what they want to hear to gain approval.

No Trump really believes his own bullshit. I mean the only person that is really holding up DACA is Trump himself. He can always reinstate the Obama executive order.
