re: #377 Blind Frog Belly White
You have to realize, in Trump’s simpleminded worldview, “Mexico” is a monolithic entity, comprised of the government, people, businesses, etc. of Mexico, that all act as a single unit. This is why he sees illegal immigration as “Mexico” sending people, and why he sees the trade deficit as “Mexico” taking our money, and why he thinks reducing the trade deficit is taking money back from “Mexico”.
Trump is loved by the base because they understand he thinks like they do, it isn’t just politics, he is as simpleminded about it all as they are.
They really have found an ally in Trump.
