HOW DID THIS HAPPEN ?

Still today I see this face on the news who only a couple of years ago was some TV celebrity with a show that people went on to humiliate themselves and worship this supposed billionaire begging him for the chance to continue to do the same the following week. When he declared himself a candidate for president of the United States I was sure it was just a scam to promote himself and nothing more. Boy was I wrong. What happened during the campaign surely would eliminate this ass and that would be the end of him. Boy was I wrong. I see him with world leaders and wonder how can anyone take him seriously. These elected officials who support him can't be serious to allow the damage being done to the country, the world to continue . Can they be as mindless as his rally attendees ? If not what is their motivation. What can they expect to gain when this is over ? Is there no one who will stop this ? Is the supposed prize really worth the severe consequences that have happened and the ones we can only imagine yet to come ? I see him on the news and wonder how the hell this happened. Happy Independence day everyone

I, too, always thought this dude was an offensive buffoon, a TV distraction, an egotistical ignoramus. Someone you laugh at. I, too, thought when he said he was going to run for President he had about the same chances of winning as Pat Paulsen. I never in my wildest dreams thought he was even close to being in the same league as smart Hillary. Never in my wild dreams did I think anyone with more than two brain cells would take this clown seriously.....

Happy 4th to you as well, kacekwl.

Who are these people who fell for this crap ? Who are those in congress, state government, military, FBI, CIA etc. Who are not only going along with it but are strongly supporting it ?
