Morelle: Here's the problem whenever the president speaks - It's an endless series of baloney.

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy.

This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman.

It’s an endless series of baloney.

Democrats can speak truth all day long and it achieves nothing. Because half of the people in this country love being fed "baloney".

Yet they believe they're eating filet mignon and drinking Beaujolais.

These are intimately tied up with advertising, power, the maintenance of social control.

If I can make you believe something, even if it's simply impossible, I can spoon feed you all day long. That's the basis for this entire era.

Trump is not the root of our problem. He is merely a symptom. Get rid of him and the country is still sick.
