When I come across folks who are supporting Donald Trump and ask them why, to a person they say it’s because he “tells it like it is.” Fact is, proven by fact-checkers over these many months, Trump tells it like it is in the Bizarro world he lives in: if he believes it’s true, it is true. Problem is, it isn’t true
Let me give a couple of examples. He suggested that if he’s President, the Supreme Court will look into Hillary Clinton’s email problems. The Supreme Court. In Bizarro Trump World (BTW) the Supreme Court undertakes such investigations. In our world, governed by the U.S. Constitution, that’s not the Court’s job, nor should it be. Nor does the court take orders from the President. It’s called separation of powers.
What the rest of the world sees on the tape is Trump’s campaign manager assaulting a reporter. In BTW, Trump sees nothing. His campaign manager was not grabbing her arm. While the rest of us see a fresh imprint of fingers on the reporter’s arms, Trump says he doesn’t know where those came from, they could have been caused at any time, he says, despite the video and eye witnesses saying they watched the battery take place. While the cops saw a crime on the videotape, Trump sees nothing on the tape but the reporter wielding her ball point pen which, he says, could have been a weapon for all he saw.
In BTW, Trump cannot release his taxes because the IRS is auditing him. But nothing prohibits him releasing them, especially since the IRS says its audits of Trump are complete through 2008.
Trump tells it not like it is, but as he sees the world. In BTW.
In BTW Trump apparently sees himself as a president who can follow a Bill of Wrongs, instead of the Bill of Rights. He can change the libel laws. He can build a wall and “make Mexico pay for it.” He can levy a 40 percent tax on China’s exports. Fact is, Trump can’t do any of that. And he never says that he’ll propose laws to do that – which the Congress gets a say in – he says he’ll do it. By executive order, I'm guessing, if he even knows what an executive order is. If some folks are perturbed by the steps President Obama takes in executive orders, wait until they see what Trump would do. From what he says, he would run the country by fiat – by order of the King.
Trump displays an incredible lack of knowledge or even awareness of how our government works and that the president is not a king. Maybe in his various companies -- the ones that haven't gone bankrupt -- he rules the roost in such a way. He can manage his companies any way he chooses to, that's private enterprise. In the Oval Office, it wojuld be Bizarro Trump World.
