The scene: Trump is speaking before a crowd. He says something typically evil, like
*The US should kill innocent families and children of people who perform terrorist acts*
or
*We should torture people whether or not they are innocent*
The Crowd: "Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump!"
The Media: "Gee, isn't that amazing that no matter what he says, people still support him."
think about it, Media. People don't support him despite what he says. These misguided souls support him because of what he says.
