“He doesn’t value words the way most people do”

On CNN International this morning right wing journalist Salina Zito of the Washington Examiner said that people understand that Donald Trump doesn’t “value words the way most people do.”  There’s a word for that type of person: “liar.”

She explained that Trump voters never expected him to tell the truth because it made them feel good to be a part of something bigger that delivered tangible benefits. (No I don’t understand that either.)

Zito said she spoke to Trump voters who told her they’d be happy to pay for the wall and that they knew he was a disrupter. And while they love their generals and their security agencies they’re still mad about Iraq so they’re fine with Trump and he Russian thing.

I don’t know if Trump apologists get just how stupid these rationalizations makes Trump voters look. But at some point those voters may just catch on that they’ve been played. I doubt it will be pretty when they do.
