During his first campaign, most people with common sense simply dismissed Trump. "Who in his right mind would vote for him?" they thought. Boy! were they in for a surprise.

Now this is his second campaign. Trump is still the same Trump as the first time but on steroid this time. He tried to stage a coup, and he's now sitting in a courtroom trying to defend his ass in a really shameful scandal.

And most people with common sense, again, dismiss Trump. Because really, this time around, who in his right mind - including the most staunch ultra-conservative bible thumping republican - would vote this guy in again?

Well, brace yourself because many, many people will inexplicably say "Watch me. Hold my beer..." on election day. It will truly boggle your mind that not only anyone voted for him at all, but in fact a sizeable portion of America has.
