Trump's supporters are like that caddie that dropped a ball today on a Scotland golfcourse. [View all]

Drop a ball for Trump! Drop a ball for Trump!

We act like his supporters only look the other way when Trump gets caught with the gamut of crimes and sins that he's been guilty of, but it's far worse.

I like a good metaphor, and nothing best explains Trump's longevity in public office and private business than the caddie who dropped a ball on the fairway for him today. Pam Bondi and all the other stooges that Trump appointed are ball dropping caddies. They're all working together so at the end of the day, Trump can parade around a score that he could never have received on his own and brag to those he cheated from the scores they received properly.

And Trump returns the favor in ways that he doesn't bother hiding. If not special appointments, then muzzling government oversight or giving government approvals for industries that should be regulated. It's an arrangement that would meet the test of R.I.C.O.

So, while people like Chris Matthews are claiming that people are gravitating to Trump because of his appearance of strength, let's be sure we remind him that he could do nothing without the thousand of ball droppers out there that are smoothing the course for him, allowing him to play through. How we break through this juggernaut, is proving difficult because our system of government did not expect to see this level of division and corruption in this country.
