I can't believe the people I am seeing on TV at the Trump rally. It's like being in an alter-world.

Giving Trump credit for appointing a Supreme Court Justice that Mitch McConnell is wholly responsible for. Folks are satisfied that Trump is just saying he is great and that he has accomplished a lot, when he, in reality has not.

When will people realize that the only thing Trump cares about is his bottom line and his own image.

I only hope he can be impeached BEFORE he pardons all his other accomplices.

that affects them personally. Right now they're still assuming he'll keep his promises to get rid of the Mexicans and the Muslims and build the wall and bring back the coal mining jobs and repeal the ACA. Of course none of those things have happened, but it's only been a little over three months and they're still assuming they will. They like it that he's obnoxious and insulting because in their minds it means he's tough and manly.

But what will happen if, after a year (unfortunately we are probably stuck with him for at least another year unless the Russia thing really blows up before then) there's still no wall and not even the start of one? He'll blame Congress, of course; but he did promise, and he said it would be easy. What if there are still Mexicans in their towns? Or, worse, what if the agricultural workers have been deported and the farmers can't harvest their crops? And what if, after a year, there are still no new jobs in the coal mines and the federal funds for assistance to Appalachian communities have been cut off? What if the ACA has been repealed and replaced with a plan that raises insurance rates and cuts off people with pre-existing conditions?

That's when the excrement will impact the airfoils. They're gonna love SCROTUS' wrinkly old orange ass until they are actually harmed. In the meantime they'll keep believing his bullshit promises.
