    That’s always the vibe I’ve gotten. He seems only barely aware of his role in events, which is part of why he can convince so many of his supporters that he’s done not wrong. He genuinely believes it.

    He’s more of a figurehead than anything, propped up by numerous disparate groups, none of whom are in total control and thus can’t actually defy whatever Trump says, even when it ends up being harmful to the overall cause. I think American fascism is something like a stand alone complex, basically.

    Of course, I’m no expert. Maybe he’s a super mastermind playing 5d chess with America ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      That’s the answer. He mostly believes what he says.

      “Remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it!”
