      … and the dumbest part of that statement is that America has completely normalized it.

      He says dumb things, America doesn’t take it seriously, he acts on whatever dumb thing he says, America shrugs their shoulders, he goes on to say even dumber things.

      Trump is only half the problem in all this.

        Trump’s public statements during his first term were found to be “false or misleading” on average 60% of the time. If you tried to take everything he says seriously, you’d die of exhaustion. Merely taking him at his word is not any kind of solution.

          But if you interpret all the jokes as “things he wants to do”? Probably pretty good odds

          He lies a lot, true. But he always tells the truth when he’s talking about his plans to fuck over this country for his own benefit.
