5. I am hoping the cheering is a calculated move to praise Trump's ego in order to get needed aid.

Everyone with a working brain stem knows Trump is nicer to those who offer him praise no matter how much of a boor he is by nature.

So, maybe - just maybe - (I hope) they are cheering for survival.

As sad and tragic as that sounds.

To be reduced to cheering for an insensitive oaf for crumbs tossed their way.

But the thought of anyone cheering him for real is worse in some ways.
