(7,134 posts)I grew up in the tri-state area (Conn.) and most of us knew decades ago that Trump was a malicious con artist. It's the reason he is so widely detested and ridiculed on his home turf. He should have been put in jail long ago and left to rot like his fellow fraudster, Bernie Maddow.
It galls me that so many of our fellow Americans still HAVE NOT FIGURED THAT OUT. Or are in denial about it. Sure, it's difficult for a lot of people to admit they've been duped (it's why whacko cults and cult leaders survive even after their prophesies, like crap about the end of the world or the Hale-bop comet, don't pan out).
But I've never seen self-deception and cultish behavior on such a mass scale in this country. It's frightening! And although I believe things will right themselves eventually, it's going to take a long while before this disgrace, this stain on our history, is purged.
