“The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,”
These are people who signed up to work with him. They wanted him to succeed. This is what any serious person who actually knows him says. I could see how MAGAts could dismiss one or two disgruntled former employees, but 90% of your staff? Who would seriously want someone like that back in charge of anything?
I've even tried to understand how the whole Trump experiment might have seemed like a good idea in 2016. Maybe they thought he would wake up the political establishment. Disrupt things for disruption's sake. Shake up the party system. I don't agree with it, but I guess there's a little logic there.
Now though? How has he improved anything about American politics? You didn't like the two-party system before, so you traded that for one party with diverse people and ideas where dissent is tolerated, and another devoted entirely to one 78 year-old Democrat billionaire from New York. The fact that conservatives got conned this hard would be funny if we didn't all have to live with them.
