Welcome to Trumplandia.

Where if the president does "it" then "it" is not against the law.

Trump is proud for the Cult to know he's a Crook... and not care at all that he's a Crook.

As a matter of fact, the Cult is Entertained, so that's the important part. The Second Coming of the Lord Trump is the best thing on TV!

They are convinced that this is a spin-off of The Apprentice.

As for me, the jury is still out on whether we human being can actually grow up and be an functioning democracy, where all share power, and all get needed resources including education, health care, food, housing, and medical care. When I was a kid in the 1950's the American Medical Association and the Catholic Church fought tooth and nail against giving medical care to the poor, calling it socialized medicine.
Still, one way or another, they fight to make sure the rich are royalty, and we poor are left in the dust.
