Let me see if I understand something

Our country is facing a disastrous increase in health insurance premiums. Trump has begun an undeclared and unexplained war against Venezuela. He hasn’t fulfilled any of his campaign promises. The Federal government is nearly completely dysfunctional. And on and on.

Yet Trump has time (as a great historian!) to write biographical blurbs for his Presidential gallery. He has time to build a ballroom and a meaningless arch. He has time to golf every weekend. He stays up late at night to post vile and hateful messages on his useless social platform. And he generally doesn’t know what his cabinet officers are doing.

Yet 1/3 of our population thinks he’s doing a great job.

What a shitshow!

and it hurts me to say this because I hate it when people say some is stupid, but 25%-35% of our voting population are just plain stupid.
