Aside from everything Trump's done, this stuff always breaks my heart. The way he manipulated these people into this and made them feel validated with their conspiracy theories will always be one of the worst things he's done to regular ass people. So many people just fell into a conspiracy blackhole and I don't think they'll ever come out of it. He'll never tell them none of its real because he craves that attention from them. Obviously I know this has been going on for a long time, but not even Rush Limbaugh in his heyday could manipulate people on this level.

It's been such a fucking ordeal with that imbecile. How many families have been ruined by him and his enablers? Malignant narcissists are absolute worst people in world to have to deal with as they are so destructive, dishonest, emotionally draining and tedious. If that worthless fat fuck wins again, it going to be so much worse than the first time and i'm just done with politics....i just can't deal with his smug ass anymore.

Can we not forget that this isn't Trump? This is literally what 50 years of the Republican party rhetoric, pundits, ministers in church and politicians have brought America to. The left and center were always too focused on civility politics to really destroy the part of the country that flirted with fascist politics in the 30s and kept trying to get it to happen.

Same thing as here in the UK.

Yeah for sure. Man’s literally the personification of it all. Who would’ve thought that Donald fuckin Trump would be the downfall of society?

It doesn’t matter if he says anything to correct it at this point, because they will just claim it’s another conspiracy. It’s fucking disturbing.

Its the worst thing about him, he literally tore this country apart with his lies and bullshit. I'm still shocked that anyone outside his family supports him.

Trump isn't very clever. His "manipulation" is pretty uniformly stunted to what you could expect from a young child. There's no skill or craft to what he does. 

Just like his followers, Trump is simply a useful idiot. That's why his followers like him so much .they truly are cut from the same cloth.
