6. I should have said Trump was "behaving" like a reality...

... teevee star. I don't think he's acting at all. He really is an arrogant, know-nothing asshole in love with his name and fame.

I have tried for months to figure out why he's getting so much support. I have had several theories, but it still remains a mystery to me. I live in the deep South, and the majority of my friends and acquaintances are conservative republicans - and yet I don't know a single person actually supporting Trump. Some toyed with the idea early on - kinda like they thought about jumping on the "chaos theory" band wagon - but they all pretty quickly abandoned him, called him uncouth, disrespectful and a divisive ass, and started looking at one of the other dolts.

I still can't figure out this creature we know as a Trump supporter. I'd like to perhaps capture one and study it. Or at least locate one in the wild and observe it from under a blind for a couple of weeks.
