(23,220 posts)13. Ridicule is the knife that cuts him the deepest.
I've said bfore that he's not powerful; he is just used by powerful people as a tool to get what they want. You have a good idea here, but it's not US that's propagating the myth that he's powerful--it's the media. THAT is who must convey the message of his weakness--and I seriously doubt that they would do it. Maybe our candidates can put it out there, but will the media then carry it to the undecided voters who need to hear it? We know his base/cult won't listen to it, because tRump is hurting the people they want to hurt (including themselves).
But I'm all for harping on his weakness as much as we can, because there is so much there!
