What's more concerning is that millions more people saw it and didn't bother to stop him.
I always knew it was possible for right-wing populism and proto-fascism to take hold in America. A society that seems itself immune and superior is especially susceptible.
But I honestly didn't think it would be a complete idiot like Trump. A wannabe dictator is supposed to be charismatic. His ramblings couldn't invigorate a chicken coop. And yet it seems people are so desperate for his ilk that not even that's an issue.
Nobody lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
