I still don't understand what his supporters see in him. He's a convicted fraudster, lifelong womanizer who fathered 5 children by 3 different ladies (not including the illegitimate ones) a tax and payroll cheat who doesn't pay his employees and respects only dictators of other countries.
Nikki Haley could easily defeat Joe Biden, yet his supporters stand by him, and believe all his lies as if they were listening to God himself. I don't get it. 🙄
Millions of Americans are angry and feel they've been cheated out of something they can't name. I can name it for them: The American Dream. It was supposed to happen and it didn't. If you worked hard, you were supposed to get a washing machine, a chicken in every pot, a two-car garage, a digital watch, and the world's highest standard of living. But it didn't make them happy, and so they feel they've been cheated out of a birthright. They haven't read their sacred documents carefully: it says "the
pursuit of happiness" not the
attainment of it. So, in America today, there are millions of people who feel they should be happy, because they think this was promised to them (it wasn't), and they're angry about it.
Someody must be to blame! Now who could that be ?? The two main culprits are: goobermint (over-regulation), and immigrants (stealing our benefits).
Trump embodies for those millions of Americans the lost American dream: he's fabulously wealthy (or seems to be anyway, but, really, he's living on other bank's credit); he's the poster boy for angry entitlement; and he routinely bashes 'the establishment' (goobermint) and immigrants. That's his recipe for popularity.
