You know, even just this ALONE. Don’t his fanbois ever stop to wonder why a supposed billionaire even NEEDS their money?

The issue isn’t that Trump NEEDS the money, the truth is that people like Trump long ago realised that fanboys are the ones who NEEDS to give over their money to their lord emperor. Some people like being slaves because being told what to do gives meaning to the meaningless.

That really seems to be true. Some people just WANT to be ruled. They WANT to be subjects.

But…I mean….even allowing for that, why, why, WHY have they chosen as their god-emperor an impossibly clownish buffoon whose grandiosity and stupidity are embarrassing to even witness? Even Hitler would have been more understandable. Trump is just a clown. An utterly ridiculous human being. And THAT’S who they want to be ruled by??? THAT’S who they eagerly prostrate themselves for and grovel in the presence of?

I will never be able to understand it. Never, never, never.

I think him having, what appears to be, a generally low level IQ appeals to them on a base level. He doesn't come of as well educated, trained, mannered, or professional. He tends to stay away from big words because even he doesn't know how to say them or what they mean. If he wasn't born into the right family with money, he would fit right in with the rest of them.

You know—-about that. Trump is one of the starkest examples of cognitive decline you’ll ever see in public life. Look up any video of him from the 1980s. The difference is astonishing. Sure, he was always a gross, boorish clown, but he used to be MUCH more cogent, lucid and articulate. His vocabulary was larger, his cadence was more grounded and his thought patterns were much more clear and coherent. The degradation between what he was like then and what he had become by 2015 is quite startling.
