Can you imagine how incredibly lost in lies and deceit you would have to be to see Trump in a favorable light? But that's where many people are right now. I know a lot of people here do not go to Facebook, and I don't blame them, but I still do and I read Trump supporters and sometimes respond to them.

It was probably just a matter of time before some sociopath with some nefarious powerful connections came along and exploited that weakness.
