Every time the media asks Trump a serious question he gives an answer that changes or avoids the question. Today many of his answers are 'why is everyone picking on me, look over there instead'.
Resentment has been a fundamental piece of Trump's rise to the presidency. Many of his voting supporters feel this same resentment and Trump plays that emotion well. Everyone is to blame except us, pathos plays well when all you do is point at another. Mexicans and Muslims were the starting point in this charade, today it is our constitutional legal system, immigrants, and socialists.
Trump's republican congressional supporters do the same, they don't answer the question, they bring up someone else and often claim why are you not praising Trump even though Trump has kept none of his election promises. One can understand why the republicans have fallen in line, they are afraid of a challenge to their cushy job and praising Donald is easy. They have no moral backbone, they are mostly moochers and followers.
So instead of tweets
this post will cover language for the interested reader. Trump talks at a grade school level, but he does so cleverly, he has been a con-artist his entire life and it is the only way he can talk. That it works is a reflection of how dumbed down American politics has become and how money, often dark money, can propagate its constitutive rhetoric and manage a nation.
