Can't blame Trump, all these leftist organizations putting their agenda ahead of the truth, out to get him because they are worried that he has a real chance of being successful and elected again, America seeing how far from common sense the left has strayed these days.
I actually enjoyed that post! Too funny! :)

Geezuz Cries-t! What does that fu*king moron think Trump is trying to succeed in doing? The only people who get to enjoy the world that mofo is trying to create are the 1%ers and they are going to do it standing on everyone's necks. Slow is right spydie and to be so all-consumingly impressed with yourself over it... Ugly to look at but super devoted (brainwashed).

Oh yeah and poor little Trump, the little guy never catches a break. ~Swiping at my dry face... *shrug* must be crying for him on the inside then~ Stomp Stomp. Make it all stop Malania with your nobody (but your husband) gets to be a bully any more campaign!

I only hope to offer an alternative, not criticize the usual reaction.

I cannot say you are wrong because I have not the ability to say why the precipitating factor, Trump, acts as he does. He is wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of most, holds the most powerful political office in the world and yet he has a miserable nature and appears to enjoy being sowing discontent. I believe that I am able to see the possible perspectives of others including those I disagree with but to me Trump is a black box.

Two things here.

On the matter or crowd size: Trump's organizers aren't dummies. They know what the approximate size of the crowd will be and then they will pick an appropriate venue where they predict they will have to over-stuff it to make the crowd size seem much larger than it really is.

On the matter of Trump making a rabbit turd look like a mile high pile of donkey-doo: Hey, he's Muhammed Ali Cassius Clay playing rope-a-dope with the media waiting for the media to tire itself out from throwing all those factual blows that seemingly bounce right off of him (as far as his supporters are concerned) and then when the media is tired, frustrated yet full of blood lust, they will make the occasional faux pas and give Trump the openings he's been waiting for.

Cassius Trump takes the cue and delivers a flurry of haymaker blows making the media pay in blood and brain matter for every single mistaken syllable "they lied about". Without fail, after totally ignoring the constant factual reporting that makes Trump out to be the inept habitual liar that he is, his supporters launch out of their lazy-boys and scream bloody murder about how the media is totally going after their beloved Trump as if the media were personally going after them instead.

Trump then stands in the center of his imaginary ring, waving his arms high up in the air luxuriating in the adoration of the whole grateful nation that he is the undisputed world champion of, exactly where he knew he was anyway.
Great analogy except the crowds cheering when Ali raises his arms are getting smaller and smaller.

Ironically Trump and his minions would be the ones demonizing Ali back in the day.

Well there are ethical lines on which I could speculate to Trump's character, so I'll only talk about possibilities and in non-diagnostic terms. How about a story?

There are master magicians and thieves out there who are quite gifted in sleight of hand and/or mentalism. So gifted that other magicians with significant skeptic training who know they are being tricked, even know explicitly how they are being tricked, could not avoid being tricked when in the throes. They are simply human. And human minds have a burning need to add cohesion to the world. We add and subtract things to our vision completely unconsciously and are compelled to find causality and meanings that simply do not exist, even if we know otherwise. Some people, like mediums for instance, use their tricks not merely to entertain but rather to exploit. Strangely, though, there are mediums out there who use these tricks unconsciously. They are exploiting others because they genuinely believe they have a gift, even though they have merely intuited ways to exploit implicit human bias instead of training themselves to do so. In some cultures, these people are highly prized possessions. Like medicine men. Or Dear Leaders.

How does Trump even have time to get into these tweet fights with people? Doesn't it cut seriously into his six hours a day of tv-watching? Not to mention golfing. No wonder he has no time left for Presidentin'.

He probably watches TV more or less like my grandmother used to, except instead of moving around the house he's busy jumping on his twitter account and misses half of the next piece of talking points

At this point I'd rather him continue spending all day fighting on Twitter, watching TV, golfing, and eating like shit. That's less time he spends utterly fucking up the country and promoting Nazis as "fine people" (though I guess he has a track record of doing that on Twitter).
