Apparently nobody in Donald Trump’s base group of supporters ever heard that cliché about “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
They ought to know better. After two years of Trump’s policy of alternate facts, that anyone would take this administration’s, this president’s word for anything seems so incredibly brainless.
It’s like they want to be lied to. Maybe because it keeps them in their comfort zone by absolving them of the need to actually think.
Really, they’re liable to actually believe this nonsense.
