Addressing why so many people attend his cult rallies despite his tedious repetition of the same things at every one, Trump described the lure of his lackeys as being akin to the obsessive compulsions of over-zealous fans&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou have people that follow the rock bands and they listen to the same songs over and over and over, You have people that go to the Mona Lisa. They love the Mona Lisa and they\u2019ll see it hundreds and hundreds of times, and it gets better every time.\u201d [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re talking about the border, you\u2019re talking about the military, you\u2019re talking about low taxes, you\u2019re talking about certain things. I can\u2019t just make new things up because I wanna make a speech. I can tell them in different ways and I do sometimes do that, a lot of times. But they just want to hear it again and again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course. Trump is just like the Mona Lisa. You can hardly tell them apart. And his fans are the same as <em>&#8220;Deadheads&#8221;<\/em> (which works on so many levels). Trump believes that his relentless harping on problems that he utterly failed to resolve improves with every telling. But for most Americans his assertion that his lie-riddled rants <em>&#8220;get better every time,&#8221;<\/em> is more reminiscent of Beetlejuice, who bragged that <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen the Exorcist about 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier, every single time I see it&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N8x8xqZzD8w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trump was also being too modest when he said that <em>&#8220;I can\u2019t just make new things up.&#8221;<\/em> Sure he can. He does it all the time. But for some reason, Trump left out the matter that he most often whines about: The 2020 election that he decisively lost to President Biden. His presentations are little more than bitch sessions about how he is the world&#8217;s most tormented victim. If his followers fall for that, it really just tells you something about them.
