$200 million for a hideously tacky monstrosity that nobody other than Trump even wants.
I used to wonder how it was that obvious lunatics like Hitler ever got the support they got, but watching it in action with Trump has revealed at least part of the answer. The supporters generally don't start off that insane, because the tyrants haven't fully revealed their own insanity yet. Their insanity is revealed piecemeal, and their supporters - who are too invested to back away - keep shifting their own views to accommodate the increasingly obvious insanity of the tyrant, and thus end up insane themselves.
