And with an extra Trillion or so added to the debt. Of course he'll lie about it but his supporters won't care.
Trump's core followers are essentially dumbasses who live in an alternate reality where the truth is what Trump says it and facts have no bearing. Fact-checking everything he says is a smart person's game, it simply doesn't work when you're dealing with brain-dead morons.
Be nice if it could be explained away in that manner however there are also a number of more educated trumpanzees.
What we have here is a cult. This cult primed it's members with 30 years of right wing propaganda via fox news and AM radio.
I know a former mayor of my town and his wife, a respected older couple with a disabled son who is dependent on the social safety net. They have always been moderate republicans up until about 10 years ago when they both took a hard right turn into la-la land. This coincided with their retirements and their new habit of watching fox news near every waking hour of the day.
Not long ago my elderly mother, a stanch Democrat and retired professional, spent a day at their home and phoned me that evening to ask if she should be fortifying her doors against the migrant caravan. --We live in WV. Just six hours of fox news playing in the back round did that, made her worry that a tidal wave of Central Americans was going to sweep over the USA like a zombie horde.
It's a cult, it programs it's victims just as any other evil cult does.
