Quite a good, yet depressing read. Trump is the culmination of 50 years of America's aversion to truth and reality.

Nice excuse for Trump's behavior.

I place more blame on Trump's own ego and narcissistic personality than anything else.

I think Tom Doniphon would make a better president than Rance Stoddard. Pragmatic versus idealistic. Thing is, Tom wouldn't run.

Nice article.

We are all a sum of our genes, conditioning and environment. TV is a marvelous means of conditioning the masses and as a society we've been at the forefront of receiving this conditioning. The Internet has amped this effect. And since the 60's more and more segments of our society have been conditioning us through the visual medium. Three examples are political parties, the scientific community and DOD.

Edit: We are all consumers and everything is a product.

Jennifer Rubin:

Trump will respond to the criticism:
1. I was kidding,
2. the fake news is at fault
3. I am the least racist person ever
