Nattering Nabob of Nonsense 0
Norm Shpancer, writing as Psychology Today Blogs, remarks on Donald Trump’s rambling, incoherent, and often self-contradictory remarks and tries to figure out why the Trumpettes not only overlook, but defend them. Here’s an exerpt:
That reaction, rather than the bumbling itself, manifests a core corruption of Trump and his cultists—the rabid insistence that gibberish is poetry, that covfefe is a real word, albeit secret; that, in other words, the leader’s obvious faults do not in fact exist.
Politics aside, to the honest outside observer that reaction seems both unnecessary and ineffective. And it begs for explanation. So, what is it that compels Trump and his enablers to deny the clear evidence of our ears? To treat utter nonsense with fawning reverence?
