    People like how Trump sounds certain and sure and strong,

    He’s telling them whatever lie he thinks they want to hear.

    And for reasons I can’t explain, far too many people are comforted by that blatant lie. Even when it contradicts the lie he told yesterday.

      He does lie, but he also delivers at times. I don’t doubt for a second he’s going to do away with trans protections on “day one”. My issue is that the Biden admin has also delivered over and over again, but the Biden admin actions are not accompanied by “strongman” rhetoric so get downplayed.
