What they see is the president at the helm, managing the crisis day to day. Never mind that he is spouting nonsense.
It will fool a lot of people since they are not necessarily watching, just getting clips on fox news edited to make him look good.

15. America is a nation of assholes

If you think broadcasting these "in-kind" campaign ads is going to make 'Murika realize how fucking stupid, rude, self-centered and cruel the orange asspickle is, and turn against him... might I suggest you meet your neighbors?

No! These daily Mein Campf readings are endearing him to the assholes all around us.

Truth is America has always been like this.

Oh, we put on a good act, but America has always been a nation of assholes.

For most of our history, we had some moral norms and standards, but they were never the truth. They were just there to help keep us from descending into racism and fascism. In the past, your neighbor would pretend to be nice because of these fake norms. Yes, even the guy who would gladly curbstomp you if it meant he could be a fraction ahead of you in the rat race, put on the appearance of friendlyness because that is what the norms required. It didn't change the fact that he gave not one shit for you and would smile at your families destruction, it just meant he couldn't show that publicly.

You want to see what real America is like? Spend a day listening to your local Hate Radio station. You have one. Hell, the bluest of the blue areas with not enough Retrumplicans to rub together in a public park bathroom have a powerful Hate Radio station available to them.

So, remember... when your fellow American smiles at you and wishes you a good day, it's all bullshit.

Donnie Shit for Brains proves it everyday. We are a nation of assholes, led by an asshole so assholy, that if Mother Nature ever decided to give the world an enema, she'd shove the nozzle right down his turkey vulture throat.

America could have elected the most qualified person ever to run for president. Instead a nation of assholes elected the snake-oil salesman. Yeah I know, Hilary got more votes, but that’s the thing, it should not have been close.

Maybe a law and order rerun would be more peaceful.
She might be showing his rant.

3. How long was he yapping?

I had my tv on mute while he was on. I kept thinking eventually he’d shut up long enough to let someone else have a turn to speak, but he just kept on and on. I could not bring myself to listen to a single syllable that tumbled out of his nasty mouth. He gets going and no one has the nerve to tell him to step aside. I recommend a hook.

I know I saw a thread at about 2:30 about the Surgeon General saying some pretty stupid crap.
