Someone has noticed that President Spanky's voters do understand that he lies seven times a day. Of course, they do. And they love it.
Spanky's lying endears him to them.
I'm guessing that the Trump voter has a belief system built on denying reality. In this post-factual galaxy, white men have the right to grope women of every race, white people are smarter and more moral than people of color, old people are more worthy than young people, cruelty is kindness, feminism is toxic, your status is determined by a new car, Latinos are lazy and an imaginary wall will block inferior and criminal people from arriving in the States on boats and planes.
Maintaining this weird belief system requires constant lying to yourself. A President who lies with authority, the most powerful white man in the world, who lies seven times a day, dominating the media, is a buttress that keeps the ceiling from falling on nutters. So nutters love him ten times as much as they did Reagan or Nixon, who settled for half measures.
