It's chaos, because Trump lies.

I understand that he is the President, but nothing he says holds meaning.

Anything that starts with 'Trump said..' means absolutely nothing, because he could say the exact opposite in the next breath (and he has).

I am not sure how people are supposed to deal with this, but putting any faith or belief into anything because 'Trump said..' makes no sense.

Nothing he says makes sense.

A liar cannot be trusted.

@macberg I remain simply mystified as to his 'attraction'..

It's not exaggeration to call him a liar, criminal, felon.. and yet..

I just don't get it.

@Joy_intl You and me both. I think there are several different reasons, and a different mix of reasons for different people. But it must all boil down to some form of lunacy. Even for the people who follow him, because following a fickle liar is an obvious disastrous idea even if you think he's on your side.

@macberg Denial?
The desperate attachment to whatever belief he said at some point that they hold on to, despite evidence to the contrary?

Delusion.. perhaps.. or both..

@Joy_intl Yeah something like that. And to some degree I think people on the right are just weak and need someone to tell them what to think, and it doesn't matter if that someone changes his mind constantly, as long as he's a strong father figure of authority they can blow down to and change their opinion as he changes his. The right wing is all about bowing down to (their) authority.
