One of the biggest myths of the 2016 election has been that Donald Trump wants to be president - he doesn't. While it's true he wants to become president, that's entirely different from actually doing the job. To Trump, being president is just another material possession or challenge to feed his own ego. He wants to become president so he can say to himself, "I'm the most powerful person in the world."
He is the textbook definition of a narcissistic megalomaniac who truly believes that he can live by a different set of rules and is superior to others.
The truth is, his campaign has never been about anything more than Donald Trump's own arrogance.
What we're seeing here isn't a presidential candidate who's built a solid campaign that's drawn in millions of proud supporters who believe in the quality of his message and his vision for America. Trump has created a cult of mindless sheep who've been instructed to only believe what he says, who are more loyal to him than they are their own country.
His campaign isn't rational and his supporters sure as hell aren't reasonable.
We're watching a time in our country where it's apparently more acceptable to praise the president of Russia, a man who had rivals, journalists and critics murdered, than it is to say anything good about our own president. A time where a presidential candidate can stand on stage and declare that, if elected, he's going to use his power to jail his political opponents - and his followers cheer him for saying something that's completely unconstitutional. We're watching a "movement" where Trump can stand on a debate stage and call his opponent "the devil," and his supporters don't think that's the least bit insane.
I've never been a Republican, but I've never seen anything like this. I remember thinking back in 2012 that Mitt Romney was one of the most goofy, gaffe-prone presidential candidates I might ever see. Now he looks like a well-spoken Rhodes Scholar in comparison to what we're seeing from Trump.
Think about this for a moment: In 2012, Romney got hammered when he made his "binders full of women" comment during a debate. Yet in 2016, we just had a video come out where the current GOP presidential candidate admitted to sexually assaulting women, boasting about "grabbing them by the p–sy" – and the vast majority of his supporters couldn't care less.
Even when you look at Trump's "counter" to all of this, it makes absolutely no sense

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
