5. Even Republicans must be tired of Trump's unreality show.

Trump is exhausting us ll with his constant me, me, me, look at me, I’m so great. I have thought in the past that Trump is delusional—and this week’s antics certainly support that idea—but Trump is just playing to his base. I remember reading some interviews with Trump supporters last year in which they cited similar craziness from Trump and said that they knew he was just acting. They believed they could see through the nonsense and determine when he was serious, as in his hatred of Muslims and minorities. I am beginning to think they’re right. His supporters care about three major things: protecting white privilege, protecting ownership of any type of gun, and putting judges in place who support segregation, killing protections for LGBTQ, and overturning Roe v. Wade. Some of them also want him to establish their brand of extremist Christianity as the law of the land, and they do not care that the US Constitution outlaws that action.
