What the hell???
Pres. Trump at farm convention: "Oh, are you happy you voted for me. You are so lucky that I gave you that privilege." https://t.co/rlIkaIjkU9 pic.twitter.com/OZLbvXhX9i— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) January 8, 2018
Pardon me while I lose my lunch.
I wish I understood why his followers love this inane bragging. It’s so immature and ridiculous, that I literally cringe when I hear it. They, on the other hand cheer wildly as if they are subjects desperate to please the Sun King. It’s so servile and submissive and just plain humiliating.
I find this narcissism deeply offensive and it still freaks me out a little bit, even after all this time. Maybe it’s just me …
This was weird too:

Honestly, I don’t even know what that was. He did his little Mussolini strut afterwards so maybe he was kidding? But where’s the joke?
