It's really crazy isn't it? Trump, in an interview a few years ago, kept saying, "they". They say this, they told me, they cause problems. I wanted to scream at the interviewer to make him define "they". He was creating a fictional character and igniting fear against THEY, but who they are is still a mystery.
When Reagan stated the infamous "the scariest words are; we're the government and we're to help," I wonder who he thought he was and who Americans thought the government was.
Our government have completely forgotten they work for us and we don't expect them to, yet we have violent elections and can't have civil discussions about politics.
