President Donald Trump has told over 18 thousand lies since his inauguration. He's rebelled against any and all oversight, insulted everyone from war heroes to diplomats to gold star families, used the office of the presidency for profit, and exacerbated a national feeling of chaos and division.

Despite—or because of—this, some Americans treat him as a savior.


Whether they're comparing him to the actual Messiah or praising what they claim is limitless energy, Trump has developed a nearly cult-like fan base to whom he can literally do no wrong, who will believe any spin he tells them to believe.

As a result, you get tweets like the one below.

Failed California congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine, whose attempt to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earned her notoriety in some conservative circles, frequently heaps praise upon the President via Twitter.

On Sunday, she tweeted that people a century from now would envy Americans who lived during the Trump era, and that we are "blessed to be witnessing this incredible time in America's history."

At the moment, 30 million people are unemployed and practically every American is stuck inside because of the Trump administration's refusal to act early to combat the virus that's now killed 60 thousand Americans and counting. Let's also not forget that the Trump administration changed border crossings from civil offenses to criminal offenses, thereby overcrowding border facilities and separating untold numbers of children from their parents.

The list of Trump's atrocities is long, and people were surprised at claims that his legacy would be remembered fondly.





Perhaps it's a matter of principles.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
