When I think about Trump’s immigration position, I always get dizzy from the cognitive dissonance. Do you think he remembers that he’s married to an immigrant?
I know, it won’t affect her in any way, but still, has he forgotten that they had to meet somehow?
A *white *immigrant.
Meh, he picked her out of a magazine.
It is clear that Many of Trumps fans think his deportment as a plus rather than a minus.
If he can do nothing else, Trump can read an audience. Also I believe that if it suited his purposes he could act with deportment. The reason he doesn’t is that in his rallies the more boorish he acted the greater applause he got, the positive feed back loop made him the politician he is today. For a significant portion of the Trump base, being polished and refined is the hallmark of being an elite member of the establishment. They want someone who is going to tear down and mock that establishment and everything it represents. If Trump addressed the united nations general assembly by mooning them and letting out a giant fart, he would be hailed by some as a hero for putting all those stuffed shirted foreigners their place.
I consider Trump’s deportment an irrelevance. It’s his decisions, along with the decisions of a Republican-controlled Congress and a conservative-majority SCOTUS that will matter, not the way he fucking bears himself or behaves. I can easily tolerate a gauche President if the result is action in the areas I consider important.
And I honestly think most Trump supporters won’t give a fuck about it either. Some things are important, some not so much.
It wouldn’t be so bad if their indifference was a tad less situational.
Yeah. When you consider the conniption fits that a lot of conservatives threw over Obama’s getting a Marine to hold an umbrella over him, or the First Lady’s taking a vacation in Spain, their sudden apathy about any unseemly or ostentatious behavior on the part of Trump looks really incongruous.
It’s not. It affects how the world reacts.
Of course not; they’re all monsters. They just wanted to elect someone who would punish the world for not worshiping them enough by creating as much suffering, destruction and death as possible; they got him.
I think this might be accurate and I also think it’s an extremely odd and detrimental outlook. Understanding how to act appropriately is not the same as putting on airs and graces.

This scares the hell out of me but I appreciate the straightforward answer.
