It's not really about leaders at all but about the public and press who will listen to and amplify anything leaders say even if it's off-topic bullshit.

Trump says anything and it's fine. Guy tells blatant lies. Says he saw muslims cheering on 9/11 and he's the president.

But god forbid some computer programmer says something Americans don't agree with.

Please explain how I did and I won't. Mentioning Trump does not equate to "ideological flamewar". I know you cant explain what you said because you are HN's biggest troll.
