Some say that trust, the most important thing in people getting along, is slipping away in America. I am trying to comprehend the role trust has in the matter of supporting Donald Trump, an extremely untrustworthy individual.

Do only very stupid people trust scoundrels? Maybe the problem in America is not trust, but stupidity.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
