The craziest part of this whole deal is the support for him hasn’t really shifted.

Despite or because of all these legal problems, Trump remains by far the favorite for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination>

I will never understand how he has international fans.

Do other countries not have comparable sociopathic narcissists?

It baffles me too.

There was an antivax mandate protest at Parliament here last year and there were actually people in the crowd holding Trump 2024 posters. Like wtf?!
