2. I started 18 minutes in, like you said

And can't stop watching. I'll watch it again from the beginning. Normally I don't watch videos this long, but I cannot recommend this one highly enough.

What can the rest of the world think when they see stuff like this? People lining up for health care in the middle of the night like they're in the middle of a humanitarian disaster (which they are) or a natural disaster (which this isn't... this is entirely avoidable).

It's so revealing that that guy was talking about how Trump takes his family everywhere with him and how that says a lot about the kind of person he is... do they honestly not even know about Stormy Daniels and all the other rumors? It's just so obvious that this is a cult of personality. A literal cult. It's so sad and scary.

I got such a strong mental image of when someone is being bullied and their own hand is being used to slap their own face. That is the poor Trump voter.

4. "He's willing to help other countries but his country comes first... He takes his family everywhere

"his kids, his wife, takes them with him everywhere he goes... Tells you a lot about a man..."

Hey, man, 1) takes them paid with the cash he's going to cut from your food stamps, 2) is doing everything he promised, uh who asked him!1
