That's the thing that bothers me the most about US politics. Every 8th grader has to explain himself if he does a book report, has to show sources and everything. The president tho: tariffs good, immigrants bad. And people cheer them on. If they get questioned, it's either the most softball questions you have ever heard or the good old: i don't recall. Dude, you didn't recall the last 25 questions, you are not fit for the job.
