It started back in 1980 when Ronald Reagan was elected. I'm pretty sure Reagan was just as comically stupid as Chump is, but he was better at acting like a "smart" guy. He fooled a lot of people into thinking he knew what he was doing. All Reagan did was take orders and do whatever the one-per-centers told him to do. That's when the lying and stealing started in earnest. It's been going on for 45 years and we're powerless to stop them.
