Supporting and revering Trump, continuing to hang onto his every word after he's demonstrably lied thousands of times, betrays a judgment of character and common sense so abysmal that I can't even fathom that kind of rationale.
It's one thing to "give him a chance" and to think "maybe he'll become more presidential and take the job more seriously once he's in"... but to continue to hang onto him after seeing what a spectacular failure he is, how incompetent he is, the blatant corruption and dishonesty and narcissism... I'm just at a loss. I've never felt more ashamed to be a citizen of this country, never felt so disconnected from my fellow Americans.
I should probably keep in mind that a majority of people disapprove, and that he lost the popular vote, and would have lost much more if liberals didn't turn their noses up at Hillary. Still, that 40%!! of people still approve of him is mind-blowing and depressing.
I heard today the 40% is because they stupidly believe that he is fixing the economy. But even that misperception is on the way out.
