One thing that doesn’t get enough attention: Trump reassuring uninformed, incurious, and frankly not very bright people that they’re actually the clued-in ones. It’s a classic con-man technique, and one reason they’re so loyal to him. https://t.co/ZuDfppOeJZ

Understanding that Trump is basically a con man is the key to understanding why he does and says this crazy shit. He’s working the rubes, and it’s probably the only thing he’s really good at. That’s also why he’s the dream president for a power-hungry GOP.
