Is anyone going to watch the tRump show just for the hell of it?

I sometimes watch to see the crazies on stage and in the audience. I will see how long I last with that POS talking.

Edited to add-transformer went down twice, so I didn't get to observe the tRumpsters. No lose, they are what they are -followers of a POS.

bothers me that the saps still follow him. Are they that uneducated? I just can't figure it out. Do they not follow the news. or are they that racist and stupid? I can't wrap my head around following a POS that is still trying to destroy our country and be happy about it. It boggles my mind. Usually I can figure things out, but this is beyond me.

lacking in their lives that they would follow someone like that POS? What is so appealing about tRump that even with all he did, they still worship him?

for a very long time to come - but I'm guess that it will have at least something to do with the fact that he gives them permission to resent a perceived loss of privilege and status as minorities, LGBTQ people and women demand and get more power and status.

people for others. I am ashamed of some of my fellow citizens. I guess by watching them, I have asked myself, what makes them so angry and hateful. You have helped me with an answer.

because I have never felt that extreme hatred, I never will understand them. So watching them, is perhaps not my answer.
