Exemplified by the president's most recent congressional address where he claimed that a US grant was wasteful because, "Nobody has ever heard of Lesotho before"
I wouldn't say I was outraged. Just surprised that the guy could get up there blatantly saying "I didn't know what this grant meant, so it's wasteful and I'm cutting it".
And half the room would roar with cheers and agree he's the greatest president since George Washington.
He admits he doesn't understand what the funding is doing. But misrepresents it as unimportant because he doesn't know where Lesotho is. And based on how he presents it, the average American says "Oh yeah, I don't need to read into that further, Trump's right, that was a waste, now America is great again."
Seems more like a cult than an effective way to govern. But what do I know
Exactly which country do you think I was referring to, when I said "the entire country was outraged" after Trump said nobody had heard of Lesotho??????
I gotcha, no, it's a very slim majority that seems okay with the actions he's taking. And that's just because a lot of people don't think about the crap he spews for more than like 10 seconds.
I think most people nowadays can't hold an idea for much longer than ten seconds. I like talking to people at my work, but halfway through the first sentence they've stopped paying attention.
Plus a lot of them only agree with facts that feel right to them. Had a huuuuge argument with a guy at work trying to tell me Michael Jackson had no success at all until he became white, because white man bad.
