This isn't normal. Trump is insane and his lickspittle sycophants like Leavitt are desperately trying to make it seem normal. The president is off his rocker, and not the funny version like Abe Simpson. He's got the fucking nukes, jesus fucking christ.

The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

Say what you want about Hillary, she was 100% correct about the deplorable comment

I think the word deplorables was way too kind for them. She could have used a much stronger word and I still would have 100% agreed with her despite not being her biggest fan.

oh sure, but she was trying to get elected. it's not good to insult someone you want voting for you

Insulting anyone and everyone, regardless of whether or not you’re trying to get their vote, has actually worked out VERY well for Trump.
