That’s about the weirdest part of this whole thing to me.

It really is just The Emperor’s New Clothes played out in real life, as a wide swath of people who certainly know better all studiously pretend that the President of the United States is not a petty, shallow, vindictive, willfully ignorant and delusional egomaniac with the emotional maturity of a toddler who’s slipping into dementia right before our eyes.
