But everyone agrees with you.

You don’t want to seem to think about Trump being different in any manner.

He is different simply by being a different person. And we are talking about that.

He is different. He’s not using the approved dog whistles, like Reagan opening his campaign on the site of civil rights workers slain there only seven years before or laying a wreath at the tomb of SS soldiers.

Trump seems to me only different because he said the quiet parts out loud.

All this graft and corruption didn’t start with him. It’s only being uncovered because of him.

I’m going to need to kill a few brain cells now with some rum.

There are a number of reasons that officials behave like this. It’s very common in autocratic regimes. It’s more jarring when a flawed democratic regime performs sycophancy so quickly. https://t.co/9IZrFefLrl
