I am even more concerned now after this kickoff campaign for the 2020 election in Orlando watching the parade of Trump supporters and hearing their justifications of how great this president is when interviewed – who are these people? Where did they come from? What exactly are they thinking, let alone believing? I have a pretty wide circle of friends and while we don’t all think exactly alike on everything I have yet to find someone who is a real Trump supporter, or at least will admit it. I sure hope I never have to have any interaction with any of this base, they sure are a very strange lot.
Hopefully.. snake-oil will not be enough this time around. Evidently.. there were a lot of empty seats at the circus.. The ring master is in trouble, he knows it.. and is counting on help from his foreign buddies again.
“Hucksters, Chumps, and thieves / We’d hear it from the people of the town / They’d call us Hucksters, Chumps, and thieves / But every night all rich men would come around / And lay their money down.”
(With apologies to Cher and songwriter Bob Stone.)
Let’s give Trump his due, he has disproved the old saying that “there is a sucker born every minute.” It would seem, if you do it as well as Trump does, there are 3 suckers born every minute.
Snake oil – born in the early youth of mankind. Most recent application is Buttercup’s announcement that he is going to end poverty, cure cancer and AIDS.

Let the ignorance, fear and hate campaign begin. Unleash the liars, propagandists and spin doctors.
I don’t know whether to compare them to the Dogs of War or the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Either way, it’s going to be ugly.

Doesn’t this violate the law of supply and demand? So much snake oil on the market should cause the price to crash into the basement.
