Trump is out and about pretending he and his henchmen aren’t the same monsters separating children from their families and sticking them into camps. On Tuesday, Trump was blabbering away in front of the National Federation of Independent Business. At the end, he pulled out a classic move from the campaign trail: hugging/humping the American flag.

The people that believe this is a sincere form of patriotism are probably very dumb people. I know you aren’t supposed to call them dumb. But they’re dumb if they see this for anything more than the grotesque display of a megalomaniac sociopath.
