They want to believe that whatever they say is true. They think, in their daily lives, that something is off because what they think is usually wrong. But Trump goes up there and does the same thing and to them everyone agrees with him. So they get to thinking that Trump must be them. That whatever they think Trump thinks and if Trump thinks it then it must be true.
I know many people that would say that they think the tariffs will drive prices down. It's a feel. And if people just said it, then it would be true.
They think Trump is magic and if Trump is magic and he's tuned into the same magic they were always trying to do but failed, then it must be because Trump hasn't said it yet. As soon as he says it, it will be real.
So what are they really waiting for him to say that they want to believe is true?
Some people learn best by listening, some by doing, some by making lots of notes.
And then there's people that only learn if they get hit square in mouth with the truth. They're the adult versions of kids that will never listen, and will only stop trying to grab something that's hot when they badly burn themselves.
