    Any other asshole in Washington would be laughed out of office for saying shit like this. This particular asshole gets sanewashed and taken seriously. Why?

      He’s a cult leader. They get to do crazy stuff with no consequences.

      He doesn’t get taken seriously. By anybody. Ever. It’s his singular source of effectiveness.

      They all just see him as a wrecking ball to destroy everything with.
