Lest we forget: when Trump rode down that golden escalator in 2015 to announce his

candidacy for POTUS, he was cheered by a bought-and-paid-for throng of actors paid $50 each to wear his tee shirts and enthusiastically welcome him.

And that was as honest and genuine as he ever got.

1. The Blacks for Trump T-shirts are always fresh out of the box. I wonder how much those folks get...

…. to be walking billboards for Mango Mussolini?

[Funtatlaguy]

3. And it's always the same 3 or 4 people. Always positioned behind him.

[Hekate]

4. You know how to tell they are not real Trumpistas? His face isn't on the shirt, no flags, nothing...

Are they really the same people? Is this a gig that involves travel? Or do they just pick up day laborers, so to speak, at each stop?

[Funtatlaguy]

5. No, they are the same. Shirts say "Blacks For Trump".

[Mr.Bill]

8. I'm as white as Opie Taylor.

Maybe I should wear a Blacks For Trump T-shirt just to show how phony it all is.

12. Blackface would be a nice touch too.

[Mr.Bill]

13. That's hysterical!

[ForgedCrank]

2. I have a

better idea.
Let's forget.

[Mr. Evil]

6. The only thing "genuine" about TFG

is that he's still breathing.

[Mr.Bill]

9. And I have my doubts about that.

Hell, I'm not sure he is a human being rather than some sort of lost primate breed.

[PatSeg]

7. Yeah, I'll never forget that

Unfortunately most people thought he was just a joke and didn't have a chance in hell of winning the republican nomination. We were so innocent back then.

[Mr.Bill]

10. We didn't under-estimate Trump,

we over-estimated the intelligence of 70 million Americans.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. 74 million . All mental midgets. Or gluttonous greedy billionaires.

[Celerity]

14. 62,984,828 (2016 Trump popular vote)

15. Yes and that still blows me away

The gullibility of so many in an age when we assumed people were a bit more savvy. People have access too so much information these days and they still are drawn to the lowest common denominator. Even exposure to popular movies and television shows should have given them some sense of reality, but I suppose they only can recognize the con artists and criminals in fiction, not reality.
