Didn't Trump say if we let all doctors and nurses die, then it would decrease the cost of Obamacare? If he didn't, it's just a matter of time before he does.

I'm no Trump supporter, but I think it's unlikely he will say that.

It was also unlikely that someone who routinely screws contractors and can murder someone on Fifth Ave would be elected president.

Irrelevant it it is unlikely. It describes him accurately. He lies - constantly. Ironically, only a lying person could deny it.

See, the Trump supporters worship the idea of doctors and nurses. They may get confused about how to show it when they don’t wear masks, but they legitimately value doctors and nurses, (and cops and firemen.) We know Trump plays to his base. He’s pretty good at it. It’s really unlikely that he’s going to attack the heros of his supporters.

Enemies of that support base are Kim of N Korea and Putin of Russia. Trump praises them. His base loves him for doing so. Go figure.

The Don (like any good mafia boss) praises the KKK, White Supremacists, and Nazis. Your reasoning says only those are his supporters? Well, no, not exactly. He plays to people who automatically believe and love the bully. Those are a typical Trump supporter.

Hitler did same. Their friends, neighbors, and employers were Jews. Hitler attacked Jews using hate. Then many adults, who are children, did exactly what they were ordered to believe. Hate Jews. Adult children love and understand emotions - ie hate. And love the bully who promotes it. They can be lied too constantly. And love that too.

Examples in the Cellar demonstrate a typical Trump supporter. They attack others rather than address issues. Since that is what they were ordered to believe. So it must be true. Their emotion (not logic) justifies their love of hate, the lies, and that bully.

Trump's many supporters should hate one another. And Trump's admiration for America's adversaries. They don't. Intelligent thought has nothing to do with it. They only believe what their emotions tell them.

Extremist: a liar lies repeatedly rather than admit Trump lies constantly. Trump can even praise rapists, despots, racists, publicly confessed criminals, and torturers. They even love him if he murders someone on Fifth Ave. Trump said exactly who is supporters are. Those are extremists who automatically believe what they are ordered to believe. Will even post personal attacks in the Cellar rather than speak like a moderate in a logical, unemotional manner.

Well it's Mother's Day and it looks like Pete is the only mother in the country social distancing.
