    So many Americans…

    “The truth is, it’s getting harder to describe the extent to which a meaningful percentage of Americans have dissociated from reality,” Charlie Warzel wrote “I’m Running Out of Ways to Explain How Bad This Is.” - October 19, 2024 - America’s gullibility crisis, Zachary Basu

    So many gullible people in USA who eat it up and don’t bother with this July 3, 2020 article. People so reactionary to Donald Trump, so living in the now of high speed media, that they have forgotten Andy Kaufman NYC SNL and do not even recognize Donald Trump is a television star, an entertainer, playing (play acting, performance art) a character!

    Americans have proven they are the most gullible nation on Earth. What exactly do people in USA believe attracts wealth and power for Trump? His good looks and healthy body? Tony Clifton is fat-suit character, Trump is a master of Kaufman’s creation!
