Icon You asked me about the placating back then...

Yes, I know and yes, I know how that went. Yeah, a lot of people liked Hitler a lot. Henry Ford really liked the guy. Probably, there were plenty of Lindsey Grahams around Hitler as well. Graham said of Trump "He's a lying motherfucker but he's a lot of fun to hang out with!" 

Truth is, they are placating Trump as well. The media hangs on his every word. The chief at CNN says he is great for ratings. We hear about whatever Trump is doing here far more than we hear about what Biden is doing. If you arrived here from outer space you would probably think Trump was the president or at the very least the most important man in the world because we hear about every little thing he does.

Every post he makes on Truth Social is headline news. We are placating him. We slather him with attention, give him more free media coverage than anybody that has ever lived. Trump does not have to advertise, he does not need to worry about if someone is going to share his opinions on anything. They are all immediately shared on every major network.

I might have no clue what my brother is doing, but damn, I and everybody else knows what Trump is doing and how he feels, and what he thinks.  I don't think we've ever placated any human being in history as much as we placate Trump. Every single one of his whiney little complaints is heard over and over and over and over every damn day. It's insane.

That's why some have said we are sleepwalking into this disaster.
