The fact that he might come down to he says he says should make Trump's shrinking credibility a bigger concern for himself.
But it doesn't because he has a mental disorder and no impulse control.

Hopefully he has tapes!
...which implies those who didn't vote for him are the ones lacking good judgement.Quote:

For my risk tolerance, he was a bad bet. For those down on their luck, he may have seemed worth the risk. Some people had so much hate for Hillary because of their overexposure to right-wing venom-spewers such as Hannity, Rush, OReilly, and Tucker Carlson that they may not have had given Trump an equally rigorous assessment and voted for him as the Hillary alternative.
To still be in his camp after what we have seen so far is either (1) ignorance, possibly caused by consistent exposure to fake news and propaganda, (2) entrenchment and inability to admit when one is wrong, or (3) poor judgment.
Sure some lawless zealots turned out for Hillary, but the KKK put their support behind Trump. I don't identify with the lawless zealots anymore than you do the KKK.
That's a pretty self righteous assumption, don't you think?Quote:

If you are sure you don't fit in one of those buckets, I could be wrong about it. It won't be the first or last time, I am sure.Quote:

So chaotic, even one of the administration's premier spinmeisters, Tucker Carlson, had to admit it.Quote:
