I have not read Bob Woodward’s recently released book “Rage.” But of everything I’ve seen reported about its contents, the most profound revelation is what it says about the hard-core Trump supporter.
It confounds logic that his base continues to support Donald Trump no matter how outrageous his lies, how insulting he is to patriotic public servants, how dismissive he is of scientific analysis, how deferential to and envious of autocrats he is, and how little he values our traditional allies.
Many argue that Trump is the proxy for a group of people who feel ignored by Washington politicians, Democrat and Republican alike, and looked down upon by the liberal elite. The irony is that Trump himself is playing these people for his own benefit and the benefit of the wealthy 1 percent.

Note from KBJ: Donald Trump is saving the country from people like you, Don. What part of that don't you understand? By the way, stop projecting your dishonesty onto President Trump. He hasn't lied about anything and you know it.
