Trump literally had his cabinet go around the room and venerate Trump. Mocking him as Dear Leader is appropriate. His whole “only I can fix it, I know better than anyone, I’m the best at everything” persona totally fits. The Messiah bullshit was all GOP projection. I know no Democrats that worshipped Obama like Fox News claimed. Trump, however, does ask for loyalty oaths, does demand veneration, does make outlandish personal claims. Both sides are not equal, and furthering that idea is a big part of why Trump was elected in the first place. “Yeah, he lies, but so do they…” Ugh. ---

I got so sick of the name-calling by the [del]cons[/del] right-wingers (no, they are NOT conservatives – William F.

But I find “Trump” so difficult to say that I usually resort to “bad-hair-guy”, which is what he has been for decades. Funny that the man with bad hair is barely distinguishable from old Goodhair. ---
