Over this weekend, Donald Trump spoke in Las Vegas in his first rally since his felony conviction ten days ago.
The weather was horrendous, over 100 degrees, and yet a crowd came out to see Trump.
His concern about himself came through, as he made it very clear, that he was more concerned about how the heat was affecting him, not his supporters, saying so openly.
As always, he was ranting, acting crazy and looney, and yet the crowd was not perturbed by his selfishness and his statement that he only wanted their vote, and nothing else.
Clearly, Trump has become a cult, and many of his followers and supporters are unable to distinguish the reality of how sick and self centered he is, and their lack of concern over his declaration of wanting to be a dictator.
The idea that many of Trump’s supporters see him as a “Jesus” indicates the extent of mental illness that is prevalent, and is a scary harbinger of the possibility of his winning the Oval Office once again.
If Biden was making bizarre comments about sharks, like Trump did, Fox News would have been talking about it for weeks, saying he’s not fit to be president, etc. Yet, when Trump is clearly unhinged…crickets.
The far-right had a surge in European elections. I hope that’s not a bad sign of what’s to come.
