You are assuming that both sides are dealing in Good Faith. Which they are not. Donald and Roger learned Bad Faith from their mentor Roy Cohn.

Donald has no core policy, no closely held positions other than whatever he thinks is in his selfish personal interest in the moment. Every word is deception. He doesn't give a shit about the economy, the border, abortion, Palestine, Israel or any other policy he claims to be passionate about.

He doesn't even really want to do the job of President. Do you really believe that a 78 year old, mentally defective, criminal conman wants to show up and work in the Oval Office every day? All Donald wants to do is play golf and cheat so he can claim he's the club champion. MAGAs and pundits who think he actually cares about anything he says are conned.

Good Faith and Bad Faith pass each other like ships on the ocean. Which is why the debates are a joke. Kamala speaks Good Faith and Donald speaks Bad Faith.

While avoiding prison is his major reason for wanting to win this election, it's also true that he has a fetish for violence. He would love to be able to stoke unrest, and then send in the troops to kill people.

The New York Times and the other major media platforms report Donald's policy stances and pronouncements as though they are real. They have a financial incentive to give the impression that Donald is a legitimate candidate who actually believes in his stances on the issues of the day.

If. If Donald was, in truth, a low IQ, criminal conman, who has no true policy positions, would they reveal it? Or would they back up his con with daily "news" on Donald's phony proposals and statements?

Donald was for overturning Roe v Wade. And then he wasn't.

Donald was for improving the immigration system. And then he wasn't.

Donald was for Project 2025. And then he wasn't.

Donald was for election integrity. And now he's rigging the system.

Donald told Time Magazine he would hunt down, arrest, imprison and deport 20 million men, women and children. And the Press treats this campaign promise as legitimate. It's repeated in the RNC Platform:

What if. What if Donald is just a low IQ criminal conman who has no policies or honest positions on anything? Future historians look at us and wonder how we fell for his bullshit con game money scam for so long.

Read Judge Engeron's 92 page ruling for insight on the man that Donald really is.

Wait a minute. Are you saying Donald is not a Republican? He's sure not a Democrat. Are you saying he's a Trump World, MAGA Cult, Pro-Putin, Pro-Orban, frontman for the autocrats and billionaire oligarchs? And he doesn't really care about America and Americans?

Sure looks that way. See Anne Applebaum's new book Autocracy, Inc.
