39. And they hear what they want to hear

His lips are moving, but for the most part they really aren't listening to him, but rather the voices in their own heads.

I think they all have their own universal translators in their heads, like the ones they used in Star Trek and it translates gibberish into their bias. Once Trump figured that out, he just rattled off whatever popped into his head knowing there would be no repercussions. Hannibal Lector, sharks, electric boats, dishwashers.......

I feel I saw the turning point in 2016 when he exclaimed that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any of his supporters. He seemed genuinely amazed and after that, pretty much anything was okay. And when the Access Hollywood tape emerged and it didn't destroy him politically, he was completely unchained.
