Donald Trump lies, all the time, about everything. Right-wing media
and congressional Republicans back him up on these lies. As many a
liberal who has confronted Trump supporters over the relentless lying
has found, a lot of his voters simply don't care if he lies. They view
his lying as fair game, because it's all in service of sticking it to
the hated liberals. If Trump lies, cheats and steals — as his base sees
it — he's doing it for them, so they can claim big wins in the culture war. Therefore it's all justified.
But this may be Trump's biggest deception of them all, because, in
truth, he doesn't actually care for his own voters one single whit. The
only person Donald Trump cares about is Donald Trump. While his
supporters bray in glee over the way Trump's lies drive "the libs" nuts,
they're falling for his biggest con of all — because he wouldn't
hesitate to screw over every single one of his supporters, if he thought
it would help him
Trump's ease with betraying even his most loyal followers has been
evident in his response to the threat of coronavirus, the apparent viral
epidemic that began started in China and has now spread to at least 47 countries, including the United States.
For most leaders who don't have a crippling case of sociopathic
narcissism, the threat of this disease turning into a global pandemic
would cause concern for the well-being of the nation, and of humanity at
large. The response of any normal president, of whichever party, would
be guided by the principle that the most important thing is the health
and safety of Americans.
For Trump, however, the main priority — in fact, the only significant
one — is to make sure this viral outbreak doesn't harm his chances of
getting re-elected in November. If that means lying to his loyal
supporters, even in a way that puts their own lives in danger, he won't
hesitate to do that.
Everything is this excerpt is true. And here's what you refuse to understand - it's true about every other major politicians at this level. Sanders, Biden, the Clintons, all of them are corrupt liars, all would do exactly what Trump is doing. The difference is the vulgarity. They would cover their evil with a veneer of civility and the liberal media would play it up. Trump just doesn't care.
