When our president tweets and says racist things, it is probably because he is a racist. But this is difficult to explain to most Donald Trump supporters.
When you have six bankruptcies under your belt and your wealth was inherited from your father, you are not a good businessman. This is even harder to explain to the base.
When Trump prefers the company of Putin, Un and MBS over our democratic allies and leaders, this is a dangerous approach foreign policy. But the fans at the rallies could care less because we’re having so much fun here.
When a well-respected Republican prosecutor investigates you and produces a scathing report, Trump fans refer to the Barr report. Robert Mueller is fake news.
So anyone who is paying attention and has a basic understanding of civics knows Trump is a great big orange bag of problems with a funny comb-over. (I'm not a politician, let alone the president, so I'm allowed to be snitty.)
But, alas, the real problem is the base.
