I don’t understand how this guy has been on international news for decades and Americans still don’t understand how he operates and continue to take the things he says at face value.
I can remember all of my life the press ridiculing him for his ego and ostentatiousness, remember gold toilets, his name everywhere? I remember when it seemed like every other year he was taking another casino into bankruptcy. I remember continuously complaints where he stiffed employees and contractors, daring them to sue against his team of lawyers who would make it far more expensive than the money owed. I remember allegations of tax fraud over years and decades that somehow never got investigated.
I remember ridicule over the stupid tv show he funded to rehabilitate his image: did that actually work?
I remember the laughing the first time he wanted to run for president, and he crashed in flames as no one would take him seriously as a candidate
How did such a long history of incompetence, self-servicing corruption ever get turned around?
The media sanewashes pretty much every word he says and it’s infuriating. Trump says stuff daily that would have ended political careers 20 years ago regardless of party affiliation.
All this tells me is that in 20 years the opposition hasn’t adjusted their tactics. Talking here about the citizens, not the elected officials you already knew weren’t going to help.
My god, such a horrible conspiracy theory… just on it’s face.
LLM’s have drastically improved every year. Biden was so blatently on the mental decline.
ChatGPT would have smoked trump in the 2024 debates.

The corporate press has been working very hard to normalise him for all these years.

Short answer: social media and Russian influence campaigns.

All of it should implode somewhere, at some point, you would think.
Have you been working very hard to change that fact?
