Basic social and moral rules are learned first at home and then practiced in kindergarten: be honest, be kind, share, take turns, keep your hands to yourself, don’t be a braggart. Don’t you wish there was a kindergarten remediation class for grownups?
In the story, no one but a little boy would tell the emperor that he was naked. In the real world, lots of people are saying it but he won’t hear it.
Here’s one example of POTUS making it up as he goes along:
“Look what happened, where they’re bringing plane loads of cash, plane loads, big planes, 757s, Boeing 757s coming in loaded up with cash.” False.The cash was delivered by a cargo plane, not multiple Boeing 757s, which are passenger aircraft.
His “base” knows it but doesn’t seem to care.
