And supports the Taliban. Clearly batshit.

You're right, of course: Trump's been hitting the anti-Muslim immigrant note since yesterday, and many Americans are too stupid to realize that this asshole (like the lunatic in San Bernardino) was born and raised in the USA. Just like Columbine, or Virginia Tech, or Newtown, or dozens of other mass Americsn shootings.

But that requires complex thought about multifaceted problems, and many Americans like to respond to those complex issues with shit like "Build a wall!"
