Say, how are your members feeling about the most recent "policies" involving pulling the rug out from under the Kurds. What kind of discussions are your friends having about that bit of Trumpian military "strategy?" (Calling his acts of idiocy "policies" is like calling his looks-like-he's-sitting-on-a-toilet posture a "position.") The man doesn't have ~positions & policies.~ He has gut reactions and impulses that are neither informed or intelligent. Indeed, all his Mussolini-meets-the-Three-Stooges ~positions & policies~ are all wrapped up in his "personality" and have been for decades. His Republican supporters got in bed with him because, at their core, they are very much similar; lazy, opportunistic, greedy, stupid, and laughable -- which applies to most cult leaders when seen by those outside the cult.
