“The European union was formed in order to take advantage of the United States. They formed and they take advantage of the United States. And I know that, they know I know that, but other presidents had no idea.”
Why did other presidents have no idea? Well, probably since their level of sanity was greater. It is easy to find supporters who also will defend utter nonsense like this.
Once you wade neck deep in bs you probably no longer notice.
Question is just how / if one should engage with people that operate in a made up world like this.
