As long as it’s not “Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico”. That title only goes to the deserving.

It shows a) they’re too uninformed to know who is actually eligible for the Medal of Honor (you can bet Agent Orange is), b) they’ll cheer anything that comes out of his blowhole, no matter what it is, or c) both.

Are you trying to insult him by deliberately omitting his position as the uncrowned king of Scotland? He doesn’t have much appetite for such humiliation.

A key to Trump (even if not actually wanted): the relish he took in repeating a lie that had been proven a lie by many, over many instances of fact-checking that lie.

He adores that he can lie openly and get cheers. _Adores_ it.

There’s nothing he counts on more lovingly than the sheer ignorance of his supporters and their slavish willingness to believe whatever shit he chooses to shovel into their mouths.

Absolutely.

I think there may also be an element of ‘_some followers know very well that Trump is lying, but they identify his ability to get away with lying as “strength”_.’

So they love to hear the old familiar lies; it makes them feel “strong” by proxy.

Oh, yes.

I haven’t timed it, but hasn’t one of Trump’s most successful improvements on standard fascist/Orwellian/dystopian practice been to increase the Two Minutes Hate to…a lot more minutes??

Not true, they have a 3-fold plan to deal with inflation.

1. Blame Democrats
2. Cut benefits to the poor/middle class.
3. Cut taxes to the rich.
