The disturbing part of Trump declaring himself THE KING isn't that he did it, it's that his followers want him to be a king. They've completely abandoned the fundamental precepts of democracy in favor of total centralized control by a new American royal, because they both hate the same people. - ThreadSky

I wonder if some degree you have a situation here where he just says something is happening, but it’s not really happening, but he said it happened and so therefore, people are satisfied. So he could just say illegal immigration is finally ended and not do anything and people will be like, cool.
