    We have to get out of the mindset that insanity can be won over by rational arguments. Unless you are strapping people into a theater chair and forcing their eyes open like Clockwork Orange, no amount logic or persuasive arguments are going to convince his ardent supports he is anything less than a god-king. Hell I couldn’t even convince some of my family he’s a shitty business man. “Yes it is normal for successful businesses to declare bankruptcy 5 or 6 times and casinos often lose lots of money” /s.
