It is difficult to negotiate a domestic agenda with someone who lies not just about his poll numbers but also about whether the polls even exist. Foreign leaders are less likely to strike agreements with a head of state for whom words are fungible. The country’s invaluable moral authority abroad is undermined when the president attacks the press at home.

He's dead wrong. I know many Trumpf voters and many of them don't give a shit about his bad behavior. In fact, they revel in it. The problem isn't just Trump. Even after he's gone we're going to have to deal with his base which is just as mentally ill as he is.
Yes, and I still don't get it. The whole machiavellian win at any cost attitude is ugly, damaging, immoral, and it's just as you say, they don't care.
Winning justifies everything in Trumpworld. The rule is "the end justifies the means" Its the only rule in that evil land.
