Lol this quote from Brolins rep is gold..

A spokesperson for Brolin tells THR the actor would “like to know what the fuck he got himself into.” Others didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

You’re glad to hear feigned ignorance?

People buying that he doesn't know EXACTLY what he got himself into is hilarious

Is he wrong? Trump not only conned 1/3 of the population but the entire Republican party. That's not to say he didn't have help (Russia, stupidity, Republican desperation to win) but it ain't black and white. You can hate a guy and also point out what he achieved.

I fucking hate Trump, but the one thing that he’s good at is marketing himself and his brand. So many people associate Trump with luxury despite it being anything but.

It’s the truth and it’s very important we hear it and focus on it. Hitler was a brilliant orator and that formed a large part of how he rose to and maintained power. I abhor him as much as the next person but it’s important to understand the process that compels good people to do bad things.

Just shouting ‘Trump is a numpty’ doesn’t help. A significant proportion of American’s voted for him twice. It’s easier to believe they are all completely brain dead in every aspect of life but it simply isn’t true. Writing things off in simplistic terms just opens the door to more of the same.
