In a world where critical thinking is on the wane, most people would probably take what he says at face value, and even believe it. I worry for the future.

It isn't so much that the politicians are milking us, it is the elite 1% and the corporations that controls the politicians including the president. The president is merely the puppet. They create fear through hate and acts of terror. When people are scared and angry they are easily controlled and manipulated.

This is called divide and conquer strategy.

It can also be a case of environment. Lol! Stupidiness is countagious. I didn't know to say.
