and knew then that ridicule was the best approach to deal with this fool.
The sad truth is that he really believes his own shtick about being a stable genius.

This is a good time for the much deserved sarcasm and ridicule that both Trump and the GOP have earned by way of their tactics and behavior.

For us, it is cathartic and relieving and helps us to detach enough to see clearly and respond intelligently in kind. The ReThugs live and thrive and deflect based on people's knee-jerk and instinctual reactions which is a vulnerability they exploit constantly and the media enables that, or it has for a long time, at least.

This is a great time to realize that this time around, the ReThugs are having a hair on fire panic and people who look carefully can get to realize precisely the way they use fallacies to manipulate opinion and how little substance there is in their rhetoric. You can't unsee it. Once it is obvious, it stands out.
