What if the entire world in which you lived was a stage set? What if all you cared about what what you looked ike on the control monitors?
That's Donald Trump's world. Every minute of every day. For 15 seasons, his bullshit TV show portrayed him as a big success. And NBC fired him for talking shit about Mexicans.
He wears stage makeup in real life.
He's living in a delusion of his own making and he is POTUS because other people want to live in that world, too.
