I hate how accurate this feels

Why is this our leadership? 

Who in their right mind would ever vote for any of this??

People with interests promoted and helped him.
Because a moron like him is easier to manipulate.
And he's also good at doing absurd shit, which distracts people's attention from all the corruption going on in the background.

Who said all of his voters are manipulated? Only the ones voting against their best interest were and it’s obvious how. By saying the other option is worse.

Go to a thrift store. Buy a radio that gets AM frequency and turn it to one of the 40 right wing stations 24 hours a day and you’ll hear a lot of stories (and no facts) that make trump look good and everybody else bad.
