Classic Trump. Classic NPD.

There will come a tipping point when most Americans realize Trump is a delusional. Only a matter of time. Why he thinks all black people know each other.

He's preaching to the choir, ie. his army of supporters.

And it's working.

Trump is more popular than ever among the people that voted for him.
Fer sure mate. To his supporters it's, "Thank you, may I have another?" https://youtu.be/h2gIJkDYe-g

He's a fairly unlikable guy and clearly anti establishment.

He can be anti establishment and win an election, but to govern no. Discrediting the intelligence services and the media only makes them work so much harder, and I doubt if he is really smart enough to figure this out.

Media is relentless and the intelligence services can be very sneaky. They are very good at leaking information through their past and present ranks.

I think he's pretty likeable myself.

I enjoy watching him speak.

He's authentic, he's real, he's unscripted, and he's funny.

I find him to be a refreshing change from the standard heavily scripted programed robots of today's political world.

Like Mike Pence? Insincerity just oozes from his pores when he talks.

America elected a man who believes in nothing but himself.
