What to Understand

1. Donald Trump is the most obvious liar and egomaniac since year 2013. It is blatant, it is obvious, it is clear as day, it is documented.

2. Understanding the Problem Assertion 1: The problem is not Donald Trump. One liar “Big Shot” who plays golf and spends time with his family retired in Florida on the golf course and goes and hangs out with his buddies is nothing special for a man age 70 and older.

3. Understanding the Problem Assertion 2: The problem is We The People, the population of society. “MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL”

4. How did this happen? Assertion 3: A 1985 book by Neil Postman, Manhattan / New York University Professor (Donald Trump’s Home Town) predicted all this for America’s future. On February 2, 2017 his son Andrew Postman confirmed that Donald Trump was what his father’s book was ultimately about.

 

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
