RE: Who is the bigger idiot? Trump or his supporters?

Kind of difficult to tell who ranks in this particular Idiot Sweepstakes, as it's a sort of feedback loop: Trump says/does idiotic things which energizes his supporters ('He's one of us!'), which gives Trump the adulation he craves, causing him to behave even MORE idiotically, which sends his supporters into yet another flurry of idiocitude, and so on and so on.

Trump is staggeringly stupid when it comes to governance, but none of this shit show was even possible without the support of millions of others who decided to show the world their asses. Regardless of who is 'really' the bigger idiot, I blame every motherfucker who cast a vote for Trump for this ongoing fiasco.

As impractical as it is to have a border wall, it ind of makes sense to use military spending on protection. Still a waste of money, but at least they're not sucking it out of other malnourished resources like the healthcare budget or welfare.

Is the military budget also going to pay for the lawsuits that would result?

OP: I'll have to take that on a case by case basis.
About the wall: Supporters will rationalize it as "keeping illegals out is part of the military war effort." It is a WAR on drugs and crime after all.

Surely it's his supporters. I mean you have a situation in which porn stars are smarter than secretary of education. Where EPA is converted into agency of destruction. Where a brain surgeon is dumber than a sack of hammers. Where your average 11 year old is far more intelligent and mature than a single person working in the White House! And yet they keep repeating their mantra that he is one of the best leaders in world's history. All those years breeding people to defend imaginary evil god and rationalize nonsense from the Bible finally came to this.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Yeah, his clueless supporters are the clear winner here. Trump is no brain-guy but at least he is able to use his lawyers and money to get his way and Russia to fund his business attempts. Trump's super power is shamelessness not cleverness. But his supporters are just getting used and are too stupid to realize it.

Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fools who follow him?
His followers think he is a more dashing version of Obiwan Kenobe who would drink beer with them, out of his silver goblet with loud and tasteless monogram, of course. And spiting the other side is the same as good governance.
