What is more concerning to me is the fact that he has no issue stating an outright lie like "we're only only country that does it" in reference to birth right citizenship, but when the media corrects yet another of his hundreds of outright lies since taking office, they are denounced as "fake" by his supporters. Hell, even people who claim not to be outright supporters of us still take part in the vilification of the media for their attempts to report the truth.

That is the key to the whole Trump phenomenon.  Right wing media and politicians have created a permanent class of disinformed voters and can now wield them like a club.  Impervious to fact checking.

Around these supporters is a ring of Trump "defenders" who claim not to support Trump and to disapprove of his behavior, but still can't attack him, cannot disengage from the incredible notion that Obama and Hillary were "just as bad."

Completely Fox-neutered, they can only attack people who actually hold him accountable and "resist."
