How is it that the moron who sits in the Oval Office, who has little to no knowledge of history, of diplomacy, of the Constitution of the United States, or of the Bible, can manage to have the support of 40% of Americans?

How is it that a man who sputters nonsense, is a chronic liar, and who has done nothing for working class Americans, and who jails migrant children, can maintain the support of 85% of Republicans?

How is it that 52% of people who identify as or lean Republican, according to a recent poll, said they would support postponing the 2020 election if it was proposed by Trump?

How is it that he has silenced the “law and order” Republicans in Congress who have historically taken tough positions against Russia and other autocratic dictatorships, including North Korea, and converted these Republicans into enablers and sycophants who fiddle while “Rome” is burning?

Donald Trump is the man who wanted to find out the “oranges” of the Mueller Investigation, instead of its “origins,” who considers himself to be above the law, who jokes about Russia meddling in American elections rather than taking steps to prevent it. He is the man who is rolling back environmental regulations designed to protect our air and water, who is promoting increased energy production via fossil fuels (coal and oil), who is a serial sexual predator, who is a racist, who is a white supremacist, who is a narcissist, who made the  mistake of mixing up America’s global adversaries and global allies, and who is mentally and emotional unqualified to be President of the United States.

So how is it that this toxic, immoral American traitor and obstructor of justice is even being allowed to seek a second term, much less to potentially have a chance to win it?

I can’t understand it.
